Franchise Tag prices (Runyan discussion)

Yeah, but the long arms can help keep the defenders off of him and not allow the DTs to get in his space. Its all about technique and if he can translate it from T to G. I think he can. Either way -- he's keepin it warm for Clarke in 2007.

[Geowhizzer]

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

He's listed at 6-6, Thomas at 6-7.

That's retarded.  Clarke, for all intents and purposes, has basically the same amount of experience as Herremans.  If Clarke's the best option for LG, then he should be playing it in 2006.  I don't want anyone keeping anything "warm" for anyone, if it can be avoided.

but thats much more difficult to do at guard where the guy is right over your grill piece on every play and you have to power engage on most plays...you cant back up at guard and take the time to extend your arms out on a dt...hell be under and thru you before you have the chance

[PhillyPhreak54]

Not retarded at all.

Herremans is a better player right now than Clarke, IMO. I think Clarke needs one more year under his belt before he is a full timer. You put you best 5 guys out there if possible. And in this situation it is possible.

[ice grillin you]

He's listed at 6-6, Thomas at 6-7.

and?

[Wingspan]

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.

herreemans is 1 inch taller.

i hardly think that makes much of a difference

besides, i am certian they are not exactly 6-5 and 6-6...a fraction in the middle there

I wasn't just referring to his height, but also his style of play.  He plays tall, like a tackle.

[ice grillin you]

im saying ive seen him next to tra and he is at least as tall

taller o-linemen would force mcnabb to release the ball slightly higher, thereby reducing the number of wormburners he throws.
get bol!

Anyone hear this on NFL Network:

A poster on the EMB said that it was mentioned on the NFL-N that the Birds could be bringing Runyan back on a 2-yr deal? I haven't watched Total Access in afew days so I don't know how much truth, if any, there is to this.

[SD_Eagle5]

A 2 year deal would be perfect, no reason this shouldn't get done.

[General_Failure]

I'll believe it when I ... okay I won't see it. That would mean turning on ESPN or something. So I'll wait until I see pictures from the press conference, then I'll believe it.

[The BIGSTUD]

Get him signed ASAP. Then move on to SAM.
