Number 69 of the Bills at ORT looked pretty good...

The "riddle" as to why Jamon Meredith was so "radioactive" continues. The kid has it on the field.

Well maybe you ought to e-mail Pioli on the Josh Looney show and ask Scott why we didn't pick up a much needed talented O-lineman like Meredith? But my guess is that they would not take a tough question like this

Rod Wright was a shoulder surgery case. Good player with injury concern.

Meredith checks out on the field. He isn't an injury case. He is cut and in great shape, so its not a motivational issue. I really don't know. I've read some comments like "locker room lawyer" that made me scratch my head... there is SOMETHING out there. I just can only guess what it is.

This isn't Darryl Harris where nobody knows who he is. Every NFL team has known who Meredith was since he started as a Freshman.

Locker room lawyer - always stirring the pot in the negative way on the team. Defending the undefensable especially with authority figures. And it could be as simple as drugs and alcohol.

" The Bills' offensive line, which featured four first-year starters, held its own against the Jets. The front five allowed one sack and a few pressures, but it didn't get overrun like a lot of people thought would happen.

So for one game at least, an offensive line featuring three rookies (right tackle Jamon Meredith and guards Eric Wood and Andy Levitre), a second-year player (left tackle Demetrius Bell) and a "grizzled" five-year pro (center Geoff Hangartner) can take a bow for a job well done.

"I thought the whole line did a good job," Bills offensive line coach Sean Kugler said. "They prepared all week and they work hard all the time. I knew that they were going to have some rough spots and some rough edges. But [Sunday] I thought they competed the entire game."

"They found out what it's like to win a game just fighting the whole time. That was a good learning experience for them. They're really a great group to work with."

The offensive line has been a major issue since the start of the season. Wood and Levitre were already starting when the Bills decided to cut veteran left tackle Langston Walker and replace him with Bell.

But there has been a revolving door at right tackle. Meredith was the fourth starter at the position already this season as he took over for Jonathan Scott, who had a sprained ankle.

"I was excited for the opportunity to play," Meredith said. "I worked hard to be ready for this, and I just wanted to come in and compete and show that I could play at this level."

From what Kugler saw with the naked eye, he had no complaints about Meredith's performance.

"I give all the credit to [assistant offensive line] coach [Ray] Brown," Kugler said. "When Jamon came from Green Bay, Coach Brown spent a lot of time with him in the meeting rooms and on the field. We sat down and talked about [it] and Ray said, "We've got something in this kid.' "

We kind of took a chance and really felt like he could do the job. Coach Brown believed in him and he just went out and did a heck of a job, as did the rest of the guys up front."
