He said that last year too.

Re: Meriman says he is better

I'm pulling for Merriman. People give him lots of crap, but IMO he has worked hard and tried to be on the field, and his recruiting off the field etc screams the guy is true Blue.

Here's hoping this is the year he does play all 16

Re: Meriman says he is better

He doesn't want to get cut, so of course he's going to say it. That doesn't make it true.

Let's see it on the field.

I don't think anyone isn't pulling for him, but the same story every year gets old.

Re: Meriman says he is better

I think this year he actually may stay on the field, being that they went in and fixed the problem, as opposed to just rehabbing it and hoping for the best. I think everyone wants him to be dependable, but until we see it happen, its just talk.

Re: Meriman says he is better

well while he was playing the D was much better

so if he can stay healthy it would be a good surprise

Re: Meriman says he is better

Maybe being able to participate in a part-time basis will be good for him with Anderson rotating with him.

Or do you think they will use him at SAM?

If either Merriman or Easley came through this year it's a nice bonus.

That's pretty much my thought. I'm not upset that the Bills picked Merriman up off waivers, nor am I mad that they signed him to a contract. It was a classic low risk/high reward deal.

Hopefully, it works out this year... But, they certainly shouldn't be counting on it to work out... With Merriman or Easley.

Re: Meriman says he is better

If he is healthy and productive the Bills defense will be very exciting to watch unless you are an opposing team offensive coordinator and QB.

Re: Meriman says he is better

As Merriman sees it, no longer is it a question of if he’ll be 100 percent healthy, but when. At the same time he’s not assigning a timetable for his return to full form.

“Absolutely I’m going to be 100 percent,” he said. “The amount of hours in rehab to be the player my team needs me to be is going to be recognized soon. People will see it where they won’t have to keep asking me. Those are questions that hopefully I’m not asked very much this season. My body is not going to change much from Monday to Thursday. You’ll know when I’m back to 100 percent.”

Whatever he says will not keep him from getting cut. He will need to prove it on the field. I believe him when he says he is feeling better. Lets just hope it translates on the field.
