  1. I'm a Wayne State alum that watched Joique for 4 years here in Detroit...He's a keeper. He has a knack for the end zone and a heart the size of a Cadillac. He's also a great "team guy"... was a cadet on the Wayne State police Dept. and a leader on campus. Quality find for the Bills...He's gonna make a whole lot of teams regret passing him in the draft.

     

    He is making our team happy.

  2. The Bills are breathing a sigh of relief regarding free safety Jairus Byrd.

     

    The injury that sidelined Byrd for Thursday's game is not the same as the ailment that forced him to have surgery last offseason, according to a team source.

     

    The injury also is not viewed as serious, the source said.

     

    Coach Chan Gailey said Wednesday that Byrd would not play the rest of the preseason, but there is a realistic hope that Byrd could be back by the regular-season opener. Even if he's not ready for the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 12, his current groin problem is not expected to linger throughout the season.

  3. We get our 5 starters back and play as good if not better 1st string ball, pretty pegged here. Have faith in Chan!!

    Left tackle Demetrius Bell, right guard Eric Wood and right tackle Cornell Green missed the opening exhibition at Washington last week.

     

    The Bills have been cautious with Bell and Wood throughout training camp. Bell is coming back from a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament and Wood a compound fracture in his leg. Green has been out for about a week after tweaking a knee in practice.

     

    But they were reunited with center Geoff Hangartner and left guard Andy Levitre. Bell was in on 10 plays over three offensive series. Wood and Green played into the second quarter before leaving once quarterback Trent Edwards went to the sideline.

     

     "It's nice having those guys I think are going to fight for me this season," Edwards said.

     

    None of the starting O-linemen were in the locker room when the media got there. Apparently, they wanted to let their play speak for them.

     

    The front five did some good things Thursday, particularly in the running game as rookie C.J. Spiller had 54 first-half yards, including a 31-yard touchdown.

     

    Green did get beat on an inside move by Colts Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Mathis, who knocked Edwards down and his helmet off. But for the most part, the protection held up. Edwards had plenty of time to set up and deliver a 70-yard touchdown pass to receiver Lee Evans.

     

     "It was awesome to get our starting offensive line out there," Spiller said. "That's a great defense we just went up against and that's a big confidence booster. Those guys did a great job."
