Wednesday practice
by By Mark Gaughan , Buffalo News
Bills quarterback Trent Edwards looked pretty sharp during the Bills' second "minicamp" practice Wednesday. It's called a minicamp because it's mandatory but it looked exactly like the dozen voluntary "organized team activity" workouts the team ran the past four weeks. Edwards hit 5 of 6 passes in good rhythm to open the 11-on-11 session on the grass field behind the Bills Fieldhouse. The fourth play was a perfectly thrown deep out into a tight window along the right sideline to Terrell Owens. Owens had to make a leap to get it just over the outstretched arm of cornerback Drayton Florence. Edwards hit Owens on two other very precise out routes during the 7-on-7 session. Lee Evans caught a sharp quick slant from Edwards in the second 11-on-11 portion.
The veteran guards - Kirk Chambers and Seth McKinney - were working with the first-team unit for most of the day. The rookie guards - Erik Wood and Andy Levitre - wroked with the first unit for eight plays during one 11-on-11 session. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick worked with the second-teamers during both 11-on-11 sessions. Aaron Maybin had a sore lege and was limited. So Chirs Ellis played right end and Copeland Bryan left end on the second-team defensive line. Linebacker Keith Ellison got some praise for being the perfect spot in pass coverage. Safety Ko Simpson made an interception along the left sideline on a pass from Gibran Hamdan for Stevie Johnson in 7-on-7 work. Then rookie Ellis Lankster picked off a sideline pass from Fitzpatrick to Justin Jenkins down the sideline. Defensive tackle Spencer Johnson picked off a pass that slipped out of Fitzpatrick's hand. Rookie tight end Shawn Nelson adjusts to the ball well and shows good hands, even when the ball is slightly off target.
