Interesting. I'd love to have Runyan, but I was fairly impressed with how our OL did together on Monday. Bell's mistakes were mostly correctable, so it would be best imo to keep him in the lineup. If they sign Runyan, I would hope (since I'm not sure what to expect from the Bills anymore) that Butler would be the one bumped to backup.

I think this is pure specualtion. We are "very much" in the mix for Brooks to if you base it on what the media thinks we need.

Runyan wouldn't start.

We have never been interested in Brooks.. However, NE now is.

Re: Source: Bills still "very much" in the mix for Runyan

Why do we want Runyan? He's not even a LT. Unless they think Butler needs replacing at RT.

And we NEED a LB. Brooks or not... someone who can play is needed.

I dont think we're going to sign a LB, and if we do I bet its Pat Thomas.

We are fond of cutting players and then bringing them back.

Re: Source: Bills still "very much" in the mix for Runyan

I am not sure of all the names out there, but for the MLB position Thomas is probably as good of a choice as anybody.

Mitchell is possible there (or Ellison) but that puts two new starters on teh defense.

I really wonder if Brooks is done. There has been limited interest in him and Chicago did not sign him after taking a look.

New England is reportedly interested in Brooks right now.

My opinion quality depth and mentoring the young guns


Runyan make sthis team a little better just with his prescence and attitude, and we need more of that to rub off on our young OL

I doubt Runyan would go anywhere knowing he wouldn't start. Unless he's getting really desperate or will be on a championship-caliber team.

Don't know if this is related or not, but this was just posted on PFT a few minutes ago. Does it add fuel to the fire?

Agreed. Runyan is good enough to start for a lot of teams (possibnly us included) he's not coming back from microfracture to sit on the bench.

PFT is reporting Philly likes Winston Justice and won't sign him back.

KC could use him though.

Re: Source: Bills still "very much" in the mix for Runyan

I am certain about this much.

If Runyan aint starting here.. He ain't comin here..

I guess I shoulda clicked your link here first.... so let me rephrase, BSD is reporting.....

Re: Source: Bills still "very much" in the mix for Runyan

Also, from your article.

Moving Butler to LT is NOT an option. As bad as Bell was at times, Butler would def be worse... he does NOT have the atheleteicism to hang with elite DE's on the left side.

I'm not even positive he can do it on the right side from what i saw this week... but def not the left.


I still think we need a LT for the rest of this year.
