hootie1 Posted October 22, 2006 Share 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted October 22, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke was also doing his normal part of giving CV a breather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Posted October 22, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave up one sack that he just got beat but for the most part I thought that he held his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
