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.

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.

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 RTI'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.
