He has played like crap for us since he has been starting for the most part. However i want to give him his props for sticking up for our star RB after that cheap shot from Pollard. I couln't find a video clip of it yet but right after Lynch was tackled on a play, as soon as he got up Pollard nailed him for some reason. Duke immediately got in his face. While this team seems emotionless at times, its good to see a player ticked off, playing at high intensity with alot of heart. These are the type of things that get a team fired up.

Re: Duke Preston...
I thought Duke was going to get a penalty for that, but even if I did, I wouldn't have cared. It was a cheap shot and it was good to see him stick up for Lynch.

Originally posted by yordadOP, isn't this the same line of logic you were arguing against when Whitner tackled dude in the endzone earlier this year?
That dude didn't hurt any of our players. Completely different situation. Whitner was only standing up for his own ego on that one.

Re: Duke Preston...
Originally posted by BillsWinI wish I had seen the play. Id like to know what youre talking about. Go Duke!
Lynch actually left the game and they were looking at his wrist- turns out he was OK. But it really was a cheap shot- I can see Pollard trying to stop him since he was acting like the play was still live, but there is no reason to drive him into the ground that friggin hard after the whistle.

Re: Duke Preston...
Originally posted by OpIv37Long story short, Lynch got tackled and the whistle blew but he didn't think he was down, so he got up and started to move downfield. Pollard then picked him up and slammed him to the ground- it was a hard hit and a perfectly executed form tackle, had it been legal. As soon as it happened, Preston got in Pollard's face and started pushing him around, then the refs broke it up. Pollard got flagged for a late hit.

Re: Duke Preston...
He still is a weak point that will again be exposed against Ferguson, Jenkins, and Wilfork. Hopefully when we fail to win all three of these like we almost have to, we'll make a concerted effort to revamp the position over the offseason.
