That sounds like the mentality of a football player, rather than someone who has been held up by distractions both on and off of the field in the past. There's no secret about Merriman's injuries. They have clearly thrown a wrench into his career. However, both he and the Bills seem much more optimistic about his return to form than they have since he was acquired off of waivers in 2010. Keep in mind that Merriman is in a contract year with the Bills. If he can find some success this season, it could land him a decent payday in the off-season, whether it's with the Bills or another team. At the end of the day, it's encouraging to hear that Merriman (now a backup defensive end) intends to be focused on the football field. After all, his career could be riding on it.
