5 Wide Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Well this may be a good thing or a bad thing...but it def depletes the depth at the line. With Villarial nursing a high ankle sprain (usually 4-6 weeks) we'll learn a lot about Preston in the coming weeks.
wagoncircle-er Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Duke got absolutely smoked on one Kyle Williams sack yesterday. It was simple man up blocking, and Williams took Preston to the outside, away from any help he could gotten from Fowler and then just tossed Preston aside and nailed JP. Tough task next week for the whole Bills O-Line vs. Chicago
5 Wide Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 ya, Tommie Harris looked like a beast last night

Alaska Darin Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 What the hell was Kyle Williams doing sacking his own QB? 792691[/snapback] Non-stop motor, man.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 We'll see what he can do with a whole week to prepare and get starter's reps.
seq004 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Preston looked really good his rookie year but now seems to be getting beat like a drum so I'm not sure what the answer is but I hope Jim Mcnally does cause we need him to step up.
inkman Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Can we please respect the fact that DP was facing the best DT in the game?

Mile High Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 The one thing that I like about Duke is that he gets down field after his first initial block. Peters does this as well. And so did the line in the early 90's. But to see a gaurd or anyone on the Bills oline within these last 5 years do that speaks volumes. Williams beat him right away but after that Duke held his ground. People who are saying he didn't do a decent job should watch the game again. Not to mention on the last "Willis" rushing series for the first down they were running right behind, Preston. It doesn't get easier for Duke however Harris (DT Chicago) is his next test. CV going down might not be a bad thing, the coaches can use this to gauge where Prestin is with his progression while finding out if he is our rg of the future. I think he'll be fine.
TDRupp Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Non-stop motor, man. 792696[/snapback] Yeah, like Dick J said, they played real hard but still made some stupid mistakes...
Bflojohn Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Holy cow, Duke Preston comes off the bench "COLD" and has to get after it against one of the most physically talented DTs in the business! Give him a week of practice before rushing to judgement! By the New England game, he will probably hit his stride, and I wouldn't be at all suprised if he kept Chris Villarrial on the bench when he returns. Personally, I think Preston has been less than settled due to the number of positions the Bills have had him learn in a little under two years. I also think that he is a valuable member of the team. Just my opinion....
Frez Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I have faith in the Duke this week. He has a week to prepare, that will be a difference maker.
frogger Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 We might have one of the most athletic OLs with him in there, he pulls so much cleaner than Vill. And I like the challenge, I think going against what might be one of the top 5 DL in the league will either make him or break him, but at least we'll know. Any Free agent RGs out there?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Tough test for Preston. I know people will complain when they see Harris blow him up a few times this week. But, everyone should remember, that if CV was playing, it would be the same result. That said, I think Preston will do fine. He will have the whole week to prepare, and he looked good last year in spot duty.
marauderswr80 Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I can see Buffalo going after a guard in the coming days
tennesseeboy Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I'll wait a couple of games before I judge Preston too harshly. He stepped in against one fo the best defensive linemen in the game. He's got a full plate ahead of him and its time for him to get out there and establish himself.
