Tipster19 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Modrak thinks Runyan still has plenty left. In addition, Modrak does have past ties with the Eagles. With the mess that we have on our O-line and Jauron liking a ground game, could this be Mike Williams replacement? http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/sports/13947173.htm I hope this link works, pretty interesting article.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Well he's better than what we got...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 He gave up 4 sacks this year in 16 starts, but also had 5 false starts, 1 holding call, and a personal foul. I'd consider him, but not break the bank on him.

Ghost of BiB Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Sounds like Bennie Anderson stats for 2 games. 611276[/snapback] Two? Did you mean quarters?
Lurker Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I'd love to see Runyan in a Bills uni. He's the kind of high character, productive player that Marv loves and he'd be a good short-term upgrade to the O-line. Every time I read a few of his quotes, I think back to the type of Bills players that made up the 90's teams: http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/homeNews...il.jsp?id=34698 http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/sports/13364081.htm

Lurker Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 runyan is NOT a character guy. he is a dirty dirty player what in the world makes you think he is a character guy? 611287[/snapback] Depends on your perspective--are you playing with him or against him? You don't start 156 consecutive games in this league without having some character. And his teammates love the guy. http://eagles.scout.com/2/120204.html http://www.footballsfuture.com/2006/freeagentsOL.html I seem to recall a guy named Dobler who had a similar rep around here.
sfladave Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Sounds like Bennie Anderson stats for 2 games. 611276[/snapback] What is sad for Runyan is that his stats almost mimick Anderson. Anderson had 8 penalties, including 5 false starts and 2 holding. He gave up 6 sacks. I really would have quessed almost double these numbers for Anderson.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Well if D'Brick were to fall to the Bills AND they signed Runyan, what becomes of Peters? Could he play OG? Could D'Brick?
Ramius Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 He gave up 4 sacks this year in 16 starts, but also had 5 false starts, 1 holding call, and a personal foul. I'd consider him, but not break the bank on him. 611260[/snapback] So he gave up a sack once every 4 games, and committed a penalty once every 3 games. And how ISNT this an upgrade to what we have?
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 So he gave up a sack once every 4 games, and committed a penalty once every 3 games. And how ISNT this an upgrade to what we have? You want Peters' stats? Here ya go: Peters' Stats Runyan's Stats Considering age and salary, it's a no-brainer. But if you plan on moving Peters to LT (which I do), then it's another matter entirely. But as I said, if you sign Runan and somehow D'Brick falls to us, what do you do? I guess it's a nice dilemma to have, but a bit of overkill when there are other needs.
Lofton80 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 First off, Brick's stock is going up not down so there is no chance he is there at 8. Comparing Benny to Runyan is not worth the keystrokes to type it. What about busted plays because Benny's guy created chaos in the backfield, hurries, etc. I read somewhere that the Bills set a NFL record for the fewest yards gained in a 16 game season. Runyan is a battler who hates to lose. As far as I am concerned a huge problem with this offense is we have too many soft, finnesse type guys. Give me Runyan in a heartbeat. Add C Mangold from OSU and we improve the groundgame on day 1.
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Runyan is shot, he's got one year, two at the most left and his contract will be longer than that. He looked bad this year and he's been consistently owned by better DE's he plays against. Strahan has made a career of bull rushing Runyan and speed rushers eat him for lunch.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 OT's are not our need on the OL. Interior OL is the need. If we can upgrade OT, fine, but the need is to get stronger inside.
Fan in San Diego Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 So he gave up a sack once every 4 games, and committed a penalty once every 3 games. And how ISNT this an upgrade to what we have? 611318[/snapback] Exactly. It is an upgrade to our current OL stats.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I remember (a few years back) he did a somersault onto a play that ended 5 seconds beforehand. Not exactly Dobler, but he likes to get his digs in.
ans4e64 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 i know runyan is bitter about the eagles not talking to him yet, but if you read the whole article, if the eagles are really in that much trouble with their o-line, i think its more than likely they re-sign him. If they dont, and they are in trouble, doesnt that mean he's not good?
Sisyphean Bills Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Runyan is going to draw some flags because of his style of play. He is one tough, mean and nasty dude on the field. If he has something left in the tank, I wouldn't mind seeing him here. He's been on winning teams and has a warrior's attitude. The marshmellows on the Bills line could learn a lot from him. Or they curl up in the fetal position in the corner and wet themselves.
