Sayanora Strahan

One guy who won't miss Michael Strahan's retirement is Eagles tackle Jon Runyan. Yes, Strahan sacked 12 1/2 times and dumped Eagles QBs a total of 21 1/2 times over the past eleven years. But it could have been worse

McNabb said today, “Jon has gotten the better of him a bunch of times. I think that’s something people overlook. They look at Strahan and (his sack numbers), but we’ve had great games versus those guys. Jon has (proved) himself one of the top offensive linemen in the game. He needs to be recognized as it.”

I’ve watched many of those battles, and talked to Strahan about it too, and McNabb has a point. Runyan more than held his own on numerous occasions against one of the finest pass rushers in the game. And given the number of times they faced off – twice a year for almost all of the last 11 seasons – the numbers could have been much, much worse...“He runs around for 60 plays and gets one sack, he had a good day. I give up one sack, I had a bad day.” [said Runyann]
