All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024.

Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Ankle sprain ousts Villarrial

10-02-2006, 08:04 AM

Offensive line depth was one of the big question marks going into the season for the Buffalo Bills. That depth could be put to the test next week. The Bills lost right guard Chris Villarrial to a high right ankle sprain early in the second quarter and he did not return. Ankle sprains of that nature, depending on severity, could take up to four to six weeks to heal. more

Re: Ankle sprain ousts Villarrial

if Preston is even remotely competent, this could be a blessing in disguise. I'm not sold on Preston yet, but I know Villarial sucks and he's getting old. Hopefully Duke can step it up.

I hate our OL. I knew Villareal was not going to stay healthy the whole season but I was hoping he would make it to week 8. Behind Preston, who sucks, we have .... nobody. It's freakin scary!!

Villarrial's been awful. It would be hard to do worse.

Re: Ankle sprain ousts Villarrial

As I pointed out last week, Villareal is HORRIBLE. When we try to zone block he is the only one of all five of our OL that does not even touch anyone, he cannot seem to grasp the concept that you always pick up the inside blitz, not the outside.

This is a great chance for yet another one of our young guys to come in and get the only kind of good experience I know, game exp.

Preston was horrible yesterday as well. I think he sucks, to be honest. Worse than Villarial.

Agreed. I agree 100% that Villarial is no longer effective. I'm just saying, don't expect Duke to step in and become much better right away.

He looked damn good last year when he was asked to play, he might have been caught a bit off guard this week but he will improve.

Re: Ankle sprain ousts Villarrial

Villarial was the offensive lineman who was least likely to make it through the season healthy, and fortunately that was one of the two positions where the Bills had the strongest depth. Preston may not be an all pro, but he's more ready to play than Brad Butler at RT

I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Preston was put in against two all pro DT for his first action of the season so i will give him a pass this time but his real test will be next week against Tommie Harris who is the prototype for the DT in the cover 2 defense, Villareal sucks he has sucked since we signed him and is constantly hurt, he has not played a full season sionce he signed him, let the kid play and see whaat hes got
