Franchise Tag prices (Runyan discussion)

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

CSN reported that Runyan was supposed to meet with the Eagles today.

FWIW

I meet with people every day and never see any of them in person.

He could have fielded a call or had his agent do it.


There is absolutely zero excuse not to re-sign Runyan.

interesting, since Runyan said he wouldnt meet with anyone until they made an offer.

Good point.

I was reading the other NFL cities papers today and the only one who metioned Runyan was TB's paper (St Pete Times, I think). And they are running OT's in and out of Tampa faster than dudes going through a whorehouse on nickle night.

Tom Ashworth
Brad Hopkins
Jason Fabini

They said Runyan was known to be beaten by edge rushers and that might not be good since Simms is a lefty.

Lookin good for us. But I ain't holding my breath

[mussa]

we absolutley must re-sign Runyan.

[MadMarchHare]

Hey, why all the Herremans hating.

I'm joking, get Runyan signed.

Wost manneans would play LG if Runyan is re-signed. At least, I believe so.

Thomas
Herremans
Jackson
Andrews
Runyan

Herremans is a little tall to play guard, in my opinion.  Will be tougher for Donovan to find throwing lanes.

I'd rather see Clarke in there.

[ice grillin you]

you really think herremans could play guard phreak?

i dont see it...hes a prototypical tackle imo

It didn't even cross my mind until I read an interview with Heckert where he said that he could play G and they would consider playing him there because they really want him on the field. And I thik that Castillo could make him a good LG until its time to cut Tra after 2006.

He's 6'6

Hutch is 6'5

so thats not to big of a diff

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Well, I'm just excited to see Clarke and Herremans get in the mix there and compete.

[ice grillin you]

i think herremans is 6-7...check him next to tra if you can find a pic or at camp this year

and at the guard position 6-5 to 6-6 much less 6-7 is a big jump...its not like at another position where one inch doesnt make much of a difference

herremans also seems to have long ass arms..longer than hutch

heckert certainly knows more about him than i...maybe he can make that jump but i dont see it

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Don't sleep on Scott Young!

[rjs246]

Isn't Donovan 6'5"? Guards bend at the knees and hips to block. He should be able to see over them just fine to find passing lanes.

Looks like it's time to start livin' right.

its not about the qb dook

its about being to tall and open to play guard...guards need that thickness pure strength and compactability
