PFF: Louis, Rachal will battle at right guard

Share

Pro Football Focus is looking at each team in each division's biggest training camp position battle. Up today was the NFC North, where PFF writer Nathan Jahnke believes the right guard battle between Lance Louis and Chilo Rachal will be close.
Two days ago, Bears Insider John "Moon" Mullin previewed the Bears offensive line as part of his training camp preview series. Mullin said left tackle will be "the most closely watched position of training camp," but left guard should be another close battle. Mullin apparently gave the edge to Rachal:
"Louis filled in admirably at right tackle last season after securing the starting right guard job in camp. But Louis lost that job in 2010 and is not a given this year. The Bears signed Rachal, a former starter for San Francisco, and Rachal is a bigger, stronger, more proven option at guard."
According to PFF, Rachal was the highest rated run-blocker in 2010, but lost his job to Adam Synder last season. PFF also notes Rachal has lost weight and will have a chip on his shoulder playing under a one-year contract.
Rounding out the NFC North:
Detroit Lions: Cornerbacks Aaron Berry vs. Jacob Lacey
Berry, last year's nickel cornerback, will compete with free agent pick-up Lacey, who played in Indianapolis a year ago. There's a chance third-round rookie Dwight Bentley could challenge for a starting spot, but it likely will come down to Berry and Lacey.
Green Bay Packers: Defensive linemen Mike Daniels, Anthony Hargrove, Phillip Merling, Mike Neal, C.J. Wilson, Jerel Worthy and Jarius Wynn
The Packers' defensive line struggled to replace Cullen Jenkins (Philadelphia) last season, and moved up to draft Michigan State's Worthy. Wilson and Wynn are likely candidates for the starting gig, but there will be a rotation regardless of who starts.
Minnesota Vikings: Right guards Brandon Fusco and Geoff Schwartz
Fusco was a sixth round draft-pick in 2011 who saw limited playing time in his rookie season. Schwartz missed all of 2011 with an injury after starting at left guard for Carolina in 2010 and, if healthy, has the inside edge on the starting spot.
