ACor58 Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Take it for what it is worth, since they refer to Fat Mike as Pat Williams, but: "All things being equal, sure I'd like to stay with the Eagles," Runyan said, and quickly added that he has not heard from the Eagles about a contract. "I like it here. But we just have to see how it goes. "Last time, I was a little anxious; I wanted to get that financial security. This time I can pick and choose." When the market opens Monday, delayed three days as the NFL hopes for a new CBA, Runyan and New Orleans center LeCharles Bentley are the most attractive unrestricted offensive linemen. Buffalo, which released its starting right tackle, former No. 1 pick Pat Williams last week, could be Runyan's most ardent suitor. http://www.nj.com/eagles/times/index.ssf?/...2230.xml&coll=5

I guess the presence of TV (if he stays with the Bills) can only help
Ozymandius Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 He's going to be 33 in November. I'd take him, but I wouldn't pay a lot.

He would bring the nastiness that this O-Line is missing.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Runyan still has some gas in the tank...hell, I cant remember a season where he didnt start every game. I'd love to see Runyan or Kevin Shaffer brought in...I'm still not too crazy about Jason Peters being on our O-Line though. Edit: According to NFL.com, Runyan has started every single game for the last 9 years. http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/4195
John from Riverside Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Malta, I am not knocking you....but I am wondering why you wouldn't want Jason Peters on our line..... The was our BEST linemen a lot of the games last year.....
ACor58 Posted March 3, 2006 Author Posted March 3, 2006 The was our BEST linemen a lot of the games last year..... 617539[/snapback] And I am not knocking you John, but that isn't saying much.

Edit: According to NFL.com, Runyan has started every single game for the last 9 years. http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/4195 617510[/snapback] Let's address this here rather than a new thread. But the typical deal for a Free Agent involves a signing bonus plus a multiyr deal to spread that over. Of course. Problem is if you pick up an FA that can help you 1 year and then croaks in yr 2. You are left eating cap money at the end. So old players, Ruyan and Washington are just begging you to eat cap. Now nice young lads like TKO are what the program is all about. My personal fave has always been very young FA's. But that takes football skills to pick out. I figure that the TWash's and etc are folks I already know about and so does every other GM. So we aren't going to get anywhere picking those guys up. We need to find the hidden gems in NFL Europe, and among the very yound FA/s.

The was our BEST linemen a lot of the games last year..... 617539[/snapback] He was decent last year, but I'm just terrified of putting him over at LT like some people are suggesting (and will probably happen if Runyan comes on board.) In much the same way I'm not hating on Losman until I see him with more than a year starting under his belt, I'm not creaming over Peters until I see the same from him. And damn, 8000 posts? Time flies when you're rambling incoherently.

Time flies when you're rambling incoherently. 617558[/snapback] congrats on the milestone. But yeah, i would be a little uneasy about Peters if he is moved over to the LT spot, since this would be his 3rd position in 3 years. The transition can't be too easy on the guy either. And please in the next 8000 posts keep the word "creaming" in the Off the Wall forum about the BOTD's instead here about a 340 pound man.

Sisyphean Bills Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Runyan is the Anti-Fat Mike. Can't drag the guy off the field and he'll play through injury. Fat Mike would sit in the hot tub for 2 months with a paper cut.

BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Love Runyan. The guy is tough, smart. My kind of player: a little short on the athletic skills compared to some guys, long on heart.
Kelly the Dog Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Peters has played more LT than he has RT. It would not be a big adjustment for him. He was actually switched to RT because of injuries in the middle of last season.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I still say that the O-Line needs at least two new starters on it from FA. Runyan is a great one who should help the RT spot right away...but I'd still like to see another Guard or Center be brought in through FA.
