Buffalo's newest linebacker was on the field taking reps during team work on Thursday. Courtney Watson, as expected, lined up at middle linebacker getting some second team reps.
"I always hoped coming out of college that I would get to play in a defense that dealt with zone matchups," said Watson.
Watson used an armband with a list of defensive play calls to ensure that he knew his assignment on each given play.

More two minute
J.P. Losman got first crack at the two minute drill in team work Thursday. The drive stalled after a failed third down conversion inside the defense's 40-yard line. Roscoe Parrish had two receptions on the drive.
Losman had a nice looking pass that covered 20-25 yards on its way to Parrish along the sideline. He dropped the pass into a tight spot just over the cornerback and just underneath the safety.
Craig Nall led the next two-minute possession. It too ended without a touchdown. Andre Davis had a couple of catches on the drive.
Bills offensive quality control coach Alex Van Pelt began blowing a whistle to signal a sack would have taken place under live playing conditions. Van Pelt credited the defense with a pair of sacks during the two-minute drill segment.

Catch of the day
Roscoe Parrish earned this honor Thursday. The second-year receiver twisted around to reach behind his body with both hands to make a catch without breaking stride on his route. It looked so easy you would have almost thought the pass was right on target.

Cornerback LaShaun Ward was unable to finish practice after suffering an injury while trying to cover Evans on a deep route. Evans went right past him and caught a pass from Losman in stride that would have went for a touchdown.
JP to Evans
