That sucks. I wanted to see us get him. Maybe we will go after Runyan now.

Sorry to break it to ya, but he is very close to signing with the Jets.

D@mn, I really wanted Stephen Neal.

Bryant Mckinne, Steve Hutchinson, and Matt Birk will be great, I'm really worried about our right side.

Oh well. We can't fill all of our needs in free agency. We only have 1 spot left to fill on the O-line, and we can take care of that in the draft.

As great the left tackle, left guard, and center position will be, I'm really worried about our right side.

McKinnie,Hutch,Birk,Johnson,Rosenthal

Your right about the right side being weak, but I still say its going to be one of the best lines in the NFL.

^ I agree with you, I'm mostly worrried about the right guard position.

I like Mike Rosenthal and I think he's solid, but I've seen quite a few people on here who think he should be replaced. :shock:

McKinnie, Hutch, Birk, Goldberg, Marcus

He's a bit shaky when it comes down to consistancy.

One minute he has an amazing block, the next BJ gets sacked and fumbles because he misses one.
