hootie1 Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 It seems odd to me that with Tutan Reyes out, they used Merz instead of the more experienced Preston. Anyone know what's up with this? I am not awre of Preston being injured. Nor am I awre that Presotn sucked or something when filling in for Vilarial in past..
eSJayDee Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 I think Preston typically plays more RG & C. Possibly w/ Fowler iffy, he spent more time practicing at C so they gave Merz the LG pos? Just as an aside, I did see Preston on the field at one time. I couldn't tell what pos he was playing though &/or who was missing.

Duke was also doing his normal part of giving CV a breather.
Ozymandius Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Preston sucks. No power in his game. Merz probably has more potential, even as a 7th rounder, so that's why he played.

He gave up one sack that he just got beat but for the most part I thought that he held his own.
