I guess Villarial hurt his ankle today and may be out Sunday. Good thing we have so much depth on our O line . The season hasnt even started yet.

Re: Preston starting Sunday?

Personally, I will NEVER miss Tucker. I just wasnt that impressed. I think Preston will do just fine.

If your point is that our o-line depth is weak, I absolutely agree! I lobbied here a few days back to upgrade some of our backups from the last round of cuts. I would have liked to see some players like:

Mike Compton, Anthony Clements, CJ Brooks yet we stuck with who we have. None of those guys is a C but any would have been better than our current depth. Im a little worried that yet again our o-line depth is weak and costs us games.

Im fine with our starters except for the penalties from Anderson. But after the starters we are pretty darn slim.

We need to bring back Tucker, if he's healthy. He knows our system.

Re: Preston starting Sunday?

OK, just did some scouring of the cuts, yes they were cut but someone has to be at least a competition to Preston at C:

Brett Romberg
Vince Carter
Ben Claxton

Not alot to choose from.

Im gonna look at backups as in a trade next.

Re: Preston starting Sunday?

OK, I scanned the depth charts from NFL.com for names that stuck out to me at backup C. Personally I think we may be fine with Preston but im willing to feed the sky is falling folks.

These are the BACKUPS that seem familiar to me:
Cinn- Ben Wilkerson
CHI- Roberto Garza
Dal- Andre Gurode
GB- Grey Reugamer- also backups up at G
Scott Welss- also backups up at G
Min- Adam Goldberg
KC- Chris Bober
NO- Jamar Nesbit
NE- Russ Hochstein- also backup G
SF- Eric Heitmann
Sea- Chris Spencer
Pitt- Chucky Okobi
Was- Corey Raymer

Overall, Im a bit pleasantly suprised in a way. The rest of the league doesnt seem to be too deep on the OL either. Im not really sure any of these guys is a serious upgrade to Preston. But sure, there are some guys here with potential. Problem is, if we trade for one in hopes of saving a few games until Teague gets back [Thats if you assume not having Teague will costs us games] and you trade for one of these guys, you basically are telling Preston he isnt our future at C.

BTW, Chris Specer was a 1`st rounder, not likely we could or would even try to land him even if we felt we needed a potential star.

If Tucker's back was in bad shape he wasn't going to be worth keeping on the roster.

Preston had a real good preseason so he'll probably get the nod at RG.

However once again bills fans freak out like the little girls they are and cry DOOMED any chance they get

Oh, come on, you just don't want to admit that the sky is falling and the season is lost.
