PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- One of the highlights of Buffalo Bills training camp practices in full pads are one-on-one pass-rush drills.
The concept is simple: A coach stands where the quarterback would, and, on a whistle, one offensive lineman tries to keep a defensive lineman at bay.
It's a chance for coaches to assess technique on both sides of the ball. It's also a drill where one rep can vary significantly from the last. But when viewed as a whole, trends develop.
We kept track of "wins" and "losses" -- these are judgment calls, sometimes -- in Sunday's drill. Here are the highlights of the results, noting that each player didn't receive the same amount of reps:
Winners:
DT Marcell Dareus -- He was borderline unblockable in this drill, blowing past Antoine McClain on one rep, while getting the better of Kraig Urbik and Seantrel Henderson on his other two reps.
C Eric Wood -- In his only two reps, Wood held Alan Branch and Corbin Bryant at bay.
LT Seantrel Henderson -- The rookie got the the better of Jerry Hughes on his first rep and handled undrafted rookie Bryan Johnson on his second rep.
RT Cyrus Kouandjio -- He hasn't had the best camp, but the second-round pick held off Manny Lawson on his first rep and took care of Jacquies Smith on his second rep. Smith came back and beat Kouandjio on his third rep.
C Doug Legursky and C Macky MacPherson -- Some good work by the undersized linemen. Legursky held off Landon Cohen twice, while MacPherson got the better of Cohen and Stefan Charles.
DT Kyle Williams -- The veteran only saw one rep but had the upper hand on Chris Williams.
Losers:
DT Stefan Charles -- He received the most reps of any player -- five, total -- but didn't stand out. I wouldn't read too much into it, but it wasn't his best day.
LG Chris Williams -- He had a tough task against Kyle Williams, but we also recorded a loss for Chris Williams against Corbin Bryant.
DT Landon Cohen -- Journeyman vet had trouble penetrating against Legursky and MacPherson.
DE Manny Lawson -- He has looked better as a pass rusher in live drills, but in one-on-one work Lawson was kept at bay by Kouandjio and Erik Pears.
