OTA Day 11: Watson Gets First Practice In

[justasportsfan]

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

why the F#$% is he wearing # 60????

Hummm Watson = Fletchers replacement next year? Depending on his work ethic and how he shows in camp/ the 06 season, I wouldn't object to it. He seemed to have a good upside coming out of school.

JP to Evans...nuff said.

"Defense
The defensive units appeared to put more pressure on the quarterback in Thursday's session. It didn't appear as though the defense was installing blitz packages, but they were finding ways to get to the quarterback. "

Maybe it should have been Justice instead of McCargo after all?

Maybe it was McCargo getting some of the pressure?

Against this OL it could have been Mr MaGoo.

Really?

What have you seen from the new O-line and new starters that makes you say this?

[ICE74129]

We are getting pressure from backup/ Rotational guys thats what. Apperantly there isn't much TO see from this new OL.

[Dr. Lecter]

Can we let them work together before we go nuts?

the Ol that Marv built via the FA that you praised him on ? You're confusing yourself. No wonder why you can't make it past pop warner. You can't even agree with yourself.

Yeah, it's just a tad early to reach any lasting coclusions.

rofl.. ice was up marvs butt on everything he did.. and now his manic depression is back and he is hating again.

I just "thanked" you for the first time, I think..

WTF..

He was all on Marv's jock like Paris on Matt with our OL moves in FA.. Because we didnt draft Winston Justice now Mr McGaoo can get to our QB?? LOL what a CLOWN!

I'm just glad your ALL finally starting to see what I KNEW all along.. I saw through that CRAP from day one..Remember Jim Carey's character in Me, Myself and Irene? That's your boy right there.

There are only FIVE OL starters, we signed TWO in FA.. That's 40% of a BRAND NEW OL.. Did we forget Peters will have a year's experience at Tackle and Gandy is likely to get better not having to cover Bennie Anderson's ass on every passing play?

I have to ask, when will your posts ever contain anything more than 2nd grade rantings?

Both issues have been explained to you in detail on many occasions. Is it honestly that hard for you? It really can't be broken down much further.

No he made a couple good moves, then fugged up the draft, continues letting holcomb take the meat of the snaps with the first string etc.

They have been, and apperantly suck

[Dr. Lecter]

In OTA's Ice.

They mean very little as to how well a NEW line will work together.

I know you are smart enough to know that, so come on and give the new guys a break.

they're not even wearing pads yet or playing real football.

Ice didn't know that. His Ota's are mandatory where his players must have the parents consent.


This is a picture of Ice and his training facility. His qb in front of him is going through their gameplan. Whenever they win a football game, the players get 10 tokens each.

It didn't take long for you to post a reportable personal attack. That aside, Grow up already. You dont' coach, can't coach, and don't (from your posts) understand football. You post like a child. Every single thing you try to get a pathetic barb in that most just shake their heads at.

OTA's have never been manditory, but those that show play. Thats how it is across america. The sooner you come to grips with that, the sooner you can start to understand the sport of football.
