WEBVTT - Training Camp Cast 8/10: Day 12 Recap, Patriots Practice Inside Gillette Stadium

0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:09.479
<v Speaker 1>This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Camp Cast is your source for all the news from

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Patriots training Camp. Well, I do still watch the news.

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>have you covered what I miss yesterday? Now here to

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>review today's practice? The writers of Patriots dot com. Twelve days,

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>twelve days of practice we've already had. Can you believe it?

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Paul Parillo, we are twelve days into Patriots training camp.

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I was at all twelve so yes, yeah, me too.

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm Eric Scalovino. That was Paul Perillo. We are here

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>at to Let Stadium, just wrapped up the twelfth practice session,

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and you know, we went a little bit long yesterday.

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Paul again in full pads today exactly Bill is. I've

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>heard that from Bill before, and today he made it

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 1>true where he cut practice a little bit short. And

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>this being our last public viewing before Thursday's preseason opener

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>with the Washington football team, it was very much a

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>game simulated walk through type field kind of like last

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Friday's in stadium practice was. And we saw quite a

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>bit of quarterback number five Brian Hoyer today. Yeah, it

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>took me a little bit by surprise. Yeah, And it

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>was another practice, you know, similar to the in stadium

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>one last week, with a tempo was really low and

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, the intensity wasn't really there, you know, as

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you said in Shells, after a couple of heavy days

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 1>of contact. But I did think it was a little

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>different to see more Hoyer. I wonder if maybe, yeah,

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.639
<v Speaker 1>the plan maybe Thursday night is to get mac Jones

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and Cam Newton some reps, and if Hoyer doesn't factor

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>into those game reps, maybe you get them some on

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the practice field, even though they were under less than

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>ideal circumstances. I don't know, that's just a total guest

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>on my part, but you know, we'll see how that unfolds.

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>But you know, at the very end of practice, there

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>were a couple of two minute drills and mac Jones

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>came in for one and I thought he looked normal.

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>He was, you know, he was sharp like he has

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>been the last couple of days. And then Hoyer came

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>in and did throw one pick to Harvey LONGI but

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>otherwise that you know, went off without a hitch as well.

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.519
<v Speaker 1>So I do think in the back of my mind,

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering if maybe that means Hoyer won't be getting

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>as much work as the week sort of progresses here.

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of what I was thinking too. But we've

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>seen a weird rotation of quarterbacks throwing in our years

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>here in preseason, so anything could happen. Wouldn't be surprising

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>if one quarterback goes wire to wire, whoever that is,

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>or we could see a number of them. So that's

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>just something we'll have to keep in mind on Thursday night.

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Are you starting to get concerned at all about some

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of these players who we haven't been seeing much of

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>at all on the field? And I'm thinking, you know,

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the last few days now Nelson Agilore not being able

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>to go out there after he seemed like he had

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a nice start to camp. It seemed to him merge

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>as a leading candidate to be a top receiver here,

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and now he's he's missed a few days. Is that

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>or him or anybody else that? Yeah, I think Agilore

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 1>is one to sort of keep an eye on. He

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.920
<v Speaker 1>missed practice on Sunday, He was out there on Monday

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>and now Tuesday, but basically took part in the positional

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>drills and wasn't part of anything that they did and

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>I thought today, especially with such a low intensity practice,

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>for him not to have stayed out there. He sort

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>of leaves and you know, when it's the regular practice fields,

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>he retreats to the lower rehab field. I'm not really

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>sure exactly where he went today, but he wasn't with

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the offense when the offense was working

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>during the majority of the hour and a half or

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>so that they were out there. So that's one we

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>talked a little bit during our Patriots on Filter show

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>about Hunter Henry Right. Reports say that, you know, he

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>was undergoing an MRI. It's not believed to be a

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>serious injury. But at the same time, yeah, Bill Belichick

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>called it day to day. Others including Mike Reese and

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Adam Schefter and some other reports are calling it he

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>could be out a couple of weeks. To me, at

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>this time of year, it's not ideal to be out

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>that long. I know, it's better than being out that

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 1>long during the season, interesting say three games, right, But

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, this is valuable time for him

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to be, you know, getting acclimated with the offense and

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>more importantly, getting acclimated with the quarterbacks because both Cam

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Newton and mac Jones are going to need hunter Henry

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Ye and it'd be nice to see them continue to

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 1>develop that report. You know, before practice started, I was

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>talking with our colleague Mike de So, and we were

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>just kind of remarking about how thin it seems the

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>safety position is in terms of depth, Like, they got

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 1>plenty of defensive backs on the roster, but most of

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>them are playing corner. And we were trying to look

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>at where the safety depth is and didn't see a

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of it. And today there was a new

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>safety out there wearing number nineteen, and reports there were

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>that it was an old friend and Malik Gant, who

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>would spend some time here in the program. Yeah, and

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 1>there's no question. When we were doing our initial fifty

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>three man roster last Friday, you and I and induce

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, it was Devin mccordy, it was Adrian Phillips,

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and it was Kyle Dugger and we're like, what else? Then?

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 1>You know, who else? Is sort of a luck? That's

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>three safeties now. And I know they have some guys

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>that are traditional safeties by trade who play mostly on

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>special teams, Guys like Cody Davis, probably some others that

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>would factor into that mix that bring back a guy

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 1>like Malik Gant has some familiarity. He's been with the

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>team in the summer the last two years. I think

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 1>he had an injury in the first year, right, Yeah,

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>so last year he didn't make it, you know. So

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a guy at least as familiar with the defensive

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.039
<v Speaker 1>system and how things are run here, so maybe he

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.280
<v Speaker 1>can offer some depth. Yep. And at the end of practice,

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>as usually, get the little hurry up simulating the end

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>of the game scenario and you send the field goal

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>unit out and a Nick Folk can tinues to nurse

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 1>whatever is ailing him. He was out there again just

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.039
<v Speaker 1>to sort of observe and be a shoulder to cry on,

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess for the rookie Quinn Nordine, but Noordina, nothing

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to cry about. It looked like he again, just like

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>last week in the in stadium practice, was handling the

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 1>kicking chores pretty well and nailing his kicks. So he's

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I think he's um making a run here

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks into campus and taking advantage while

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.720
<v Speaker 1>while Folk is on the mend. Yeah, you know, and

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I think his strong leg is a parrot and you

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about this all the time, because kicking's your thing, Eric,

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and you know a lot more about it than us.

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 1>But the ball just comes off his foot a little

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>bit differently than most others. And I think if he

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>can get whatever the problems that he had in college,

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>because he's basically a SI consistent, Yeah, it's basically a

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.280
<v Speaker 1>seventy percent success guy in college, that's not good enough.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>So if he can get over whatever mental hurdles he had,

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>clearly he has the physical ability, and lately with folk

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 1>out he has made a lot more than he's missed.

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>So maybe he's the point now where you know, he's

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>starting to establish some consistency for himself. Well, we've got

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of position groups to look at, and finally

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:08.919
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get another team out on the field

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to sort of gauge where the Patriots are in terms

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of their competition at these various positions on Thursday night

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>when we welcome the Washington football team. So until then,

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>for Paul Perello and our producer Matt Morrell, I'm Eric Skalavino.

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 1>We will talk to you again the next time we

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>have practice. By the way, we should mention, we'll be

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 1>in the city of brother we Love in Philadelphia next

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>week doing reports from the joint practice sessions with the

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Eagles down there at their Novercare Complex in downtown Philly,

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and we'll be broadcasting live from there, so look out

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>for that. And in the meantime, like I said, we've

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>got the game Thursday night. So for Paul and Matt,

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm Eric. We will see you soon. Thank you for
