Bills' Sammy Watkins notices difference with Kyle Orton running offense

The Buffalo Bills made a change at quarterback on Monday and their top receiver has already noticed a difference. 

Sammy Watkins is impressed with Kyle Orton's command of the offense. 

"We just had a different approach to practice. (Orton) demands what he wants out of us," Watkins said, according to ESPN.com. "He's more of a veteran guy. The way he talked, the way he handles business, the way he looks at plays and breaks down defenses, it's kind of different than EJ."

The rookie also saw a different sense of urgency with Orton under center. 

"He reads it quicker, the ball is coming out faster. That's just some things that we have to adjust to," he said. 

It's understandable that the veteran Orton would have more control over an offense than second-year pro EJ Manuel. But the move will only be deemed a success if the Bills can put points on the board Sunday.
