Day Seven OTA Notes
Things were changed up a bit Thursday in practice as there was a lengthy walk-through session and an extended special teams period. Players worked on kickoff coverage alignments, wedge formations and punt protections.
An interesting note was Marshawn Lynch was one of the featured kick returners during that segment of practice. Shaud Williams was also in the kick return group.
Webster gets more reps
Buffalo's newest cornerback Jason Webster got almost all the first team reps at the right cornerback spot. Part of it was due to a reduced workload for Kiwaukee Thomas Thursday, but he performed well for the most part. ...
11-on-11
Early in the team portion of practice Robert Royal caught a nicely thrown ball from J.P. Losman deep down the seam. Unfortunately there was some accidental contact near the end of the play as two defenders came at Royal from different angles to 'tag up tackle' the tight end. Royal was shaken up on the play and was forced to leave practice. He left the stadium under his own power holding his left shoulder. We anticipate more word on Royal's condition Friday. ...
Lynch and Wright flash
Marshawn Lynch and Dwayne Wright haven't been getting a ton of reps, but they have made their presence felt.
Lynch on the very last play of 11-on-11 took a hand off at the five-yard line on an outside running play. It was a race to the pylon from the middle of the field and no defender was able to lay a hand on him as he scampered into the end zone.
Wright meanwhile seems to have a knack for instinctively knowing where the cutback lane is going to be. He's almost running through it before it's completely there. His anticipation is impressive to watch. Wright has earned praise from running backs coach Eric Studesville for seeing those lanes which can often translate into big gainers. ...
