When Uncle Ted traded up in the first round I thought for sure it was for one of the tackles that dropped (Britton), and I coulnd't believe my ears when I heard Clays name called.

I understand the beef against Thompson when it comes to the O-line.

Pet peeve.

Two picks earlier, the Pats traded their pick to the Ravens and got nearly nothing in return. I believe that, if Thompson had called in then, he would've gotten the deal done. The Ravens drafted Oher. A real steal.

Just take a little look at that Ravens game last week. He was dominant at RT for most of it.

Jon Runyan is a very interesting game, I wonder how long it would take him to get into a game though (the same applies for Tauscher). In the weeks they're getting in football-shape we're still, potentially, left with a major problem at RT.

Colledge's ankle sprain just shows what a fine line we're walking.

He's basically the best backup OT at both spots.

Hopefully Colledge is fine and Barbre puts in a dominating performance on Sunday.

The question for me is if Jon Runyan is ready to go right now. To me, a comparison of the two in the "ready" department, coupling them together as somehow at the same stage in their recovery is very inaccurate.

Jon has stated repeatedly that he is ready to go. He has been cleared to practice and work out. He has worked out for several teams, and I have seen what the local news has put up as coverage of those workouts.

It is only now that he is "signable" by most teams due to the monetary part of the equation with him. Everyone that has an interest in him was waiting for the first game to avoid having to obligate themselves for a full year if they sign him.

Jon Runyan, if he is in fact healthy, would be our best offensive lineman, imo. That is quite a leap from what we have now at RT. He is a perfect fit, again in my opinion, because he is not going to stunt the growth of an Allen Barbre, because he has said (I saw it on TV here in PA) that this will probably be it for him--as in this is probably his last year--he has said that he intends to play as long as he can, but feels that this one is probably "it".

Of course they all say that. Thing is, if Jon Runyan says it, you can bank it, imo. He is a straight shooting, no bullshit, highly intelligent individual...

Look at what he isn't doing. He isn't bad-mouthing the Iggles for moving on without him, has mentored his replacement (now hurt--Jon staying silent on that as well) hasn't complained about other teams wanting to "check the goods" by making him workout, etc.

Leadership?

This is big Jon Runyan. One of the greats to have ever played the position. As far as I'm concerned, we can go ahead and fire our o-line coaches and put big Jon in charge as soon as his playing days are over.

Oh, and for those that do not know...Big Jon isn't just a catchy phrase.

Jon goes 6'7" and 330 lbs. He has been teaching pad level to defensive players found on the ground for approaching record levels games played-wise. You aren't moving Jon Runyan, even on a very good day for you, imo.

(I like Jon the man, can you tell?) :thumbleft:

Mark has one thing Jon doesn't experience in this offense and it calls... Mark could be fast tracked into games if need be.. IMO.

Can you tell I am partial to the Badger? 😉

Fast tracked from what point is the question. Fast tracked from a month from now I believe is the answer.

Filipe---We all hope he does well...(Barbre). We have [strike]a thread[/strike] multiple threads debating that very issue. This thread is about some alternatives for a RT as they exist in the NFL at this time. I'm not complaining about you putting it here, I'm explaining why I am not discussing it....here, in this thread...personally...others might choose to do so.

Edit: Here is the first one--- I will not even get into how many ,ore there are---

That is the assumption on some January given guideline.. even if you use that as a guide.. that possibly puts him ready mid August to Mid October.. 🙂

Mid September now...I see film (call me Mike McCarthy junior :thumbleft: ) on Jon right now. I'm not seeing any on Mark...and he is not under contract either.

Big difference, if you ask me, in the readiness category...Unless there are other reasons that I am unaware of.
