If Marv is preaching youth to this offensive line, then I'm banking that it's only a short (very short) amount of time before this club says goodbye to Chris Villarrial.
* Will be 33 in June
* 11 Seasons of wear and tear
* $3.3 cap figure for 2006
* Cutting him would save to my knowledge, around $1.5 million in cap space.
* Hasn't played a full 16 games in 3 of last 4 seasons.
* Comes out of a lot of games due to wind and being knocked around
* His pass protection last year was dreadful. In his defense, so was everyone's.
With the signing of Fowler, you may see Preston as the new right guard...
This is a reason I dont buy into our "theory" that the line has to be young. We're not interested in guys like Larry Allen or Jon Runyan, who are both still PRO BOWLERS, yet this guy is still on our team?
I won't complain too much because I really don't think he'll be a Bill come September, NOT if we're sticking to what we're supossedly trying to do.
So either Preston is good enough to play guard or I think we need to pick up a pair of them, via FA or the draft.
Just odd he wasn't amongst the cuts and Adams and Milloy were as we make a committment to younger players "on the rise."
And Yes, I'm well aware that Villarrial played under Jauron.
