Jon Runyan

...

I remember going, you know, when his dad played and the Cowboys having to, uh, go against, uh, uh, John Runyan Sr., uh, as a tackle with, uh, the Eagles.

But, um, yeah, they c- they continued to, to invest in that and-

Mm

Rookies scare me, but the two tackles here is as great as they come.

They just resigned, uh, Jon Runyan.

John Michael Schmidt's going into his fourth year as the starter there.

It's the rookie that makes me a little nervous for them.

I don't wanna ...

Oh, John Runyan, eight

Oh yeah, that's right.

Runyan

The Ravens over the last couple years have had the heavier offensive lines weight average-wise in the league.

And Jon Runyan was like the one guy that, like, didn't maybe, maybe didn't make sense for this offensive line.

Like, is there any chance that this guy comes in here and takes Jon Runyan's job, even though that would be the wrong move? But because this is, quote, unquote-

His guy

...

And, well, Biggers, I think, has a, an absolute role within the rotation, but you're talking about an expanded menu now.

You can talk about more opportunities to, to be in more fronts and personnel packages, and you got the joint practice tomorrow against the Giants that, uh, it's a pretty well-established interior offensive line with, uh, Jon Runyan at guard and Francis Maunawa as a top 10 draft pick at the other guard spot, and Jermaine Eluminador has developed into a, a, a reliable offensive tackle at the NFL level, and obviously Andrew Thomas.

Now, John Michael Schmitz, the young guy that they have in there at center, I think, is probably their biggest question mark out of that group, other than obviously Maunawa doesn't have a ton of NFL reps.

But, oh, t- we could see some Zeke at three technique.

Are you just getting to know your players and therefore you want to keep it, you want to limit the variables that could skew as you gain an understanding of who your players are? Is this an every year thing for Jeff Hafley? It kind of sounds like it, but we'll see.

So on the defensive line, in particular against this Giants projected offensive line with Andrew Thomas, Jon Runyan, Jan-Michael Schmitz, I expect John Mi- or I expect, um, Jordan Phillips to showcase himself well against the interior of, uh, the New York Giants, where Maunua's kind of the wild card here as a rookie that's coming in and obviously has a ton of power.

But Jan-Michael Schmitz not the most powerful center, Jon Runyan not the most powerful guard.

I'm expecting good reviews from Jordan Phillips.

As far as the passing game, you know what? Let's go to break.

But the, it just doesn't get picked up well on the as- from assignment standpoint.

You see how the three technique back here is going to crash John, or, uh, John Runyan right into 50, who does a great job going to the weak side here and, and, and just creating a traffic jam.

So there's just a lot of blockers who get wasted at this point, and the linebackers are just free to flow.

So it's excellently executed by the, uh, by the Vikings, but I do like the concept that the Giants are trying to run here.
