Speaker 1: This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training
Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from
Speaker 1: Patriots Training Camp. Well, I do still watch the news.
Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com
Speaker 1: have you covered what I miss yesterday? Now here to
Speaker 1: review today's practice. The writers of Patriots dot com, Well,
Speaker 1: we are up to eleven practices in the books, and
Speaker 1: I think this might be one that everyone was waiting for,
Speaker 1: maybe just a little bit some strides on offense. Excited
Speaker 1: to tell you about it. Here Mike do So, Evan Lazar,
Speaker 1: Paul Parolo, Patriots dot Com back with another camp cast
Speaker 1: here for Tuesday, as we're getting ready for the New
Speaker 1: York Giants coming into town Thursday. And guys, a little
Speaker 1: bit of progress today. It felt like things kind of
Speaker 1: started to look a little bit more like we're used
Speaker 1: to in the running games. Some open holes, some open lanes,
Speaker 1: couple nice carries, maybe not you know, dominant passing performance
Speaker 1: that we might have been hoping for. But overall, it
Speaker 1: felt like the offense looked a little bit better today,
Speaker 1: you think, PAULI I would agree. I thought there was
Speaker 1: a little bit more rhythm and I thought it really
Speaker 1: showed you know this is going to be kind of
Speaker 1: funny coming from me, But in the running game, which
Speaker 1: I don't normally care for, I thought there was some
Speaker 1: creases there. I thought, particularly Romandre Stevenson. I thought shot
Speaker 1: through a couple of gaps. Late. I thought Tie Montgomer
Speaker 1: he had one. They're still working on a lot of
Speaker 1: you know, different situational stuff, so it's hard to tell,
Speaker 1: you know, if they caught him and maybe in some
Speaker 1: third down personnel but whatever. But I thought, no, Isaiah Win,
Speaker 1: we saw Yadney could just out there at right tackle,
Speaker 1: and I thought things were a little bit better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Yannika just got good feet. Right's athletic guy. He can
Speaker 1: get out in space, he can move at his position.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the two form Andre, the second one in particular,
Speaker 1: when he hit it and kind of cut it back inside,
Speaker 1: I was like, that's outside zone. Like, that's what that's
Speaker 1: supposed to look like when you put it on the
Speaker 1: on the teach tape right there, that's what it's supposed
Speaker 1: to look like. That was probably the smoothest looking outside
Speaker 1: zone run play that we've seen the Patriots aft through
Speaker 1: two and a half weeks of training camp. So that
Speaker 1: was good to see Cole Strange also making a nice
Speaker 1: reach block on the line of scrimmage to make that
Speaker 1: happen initially for Mondre Stevenson, which is a good sign
Speaker 1: that the rookie starting to make some plays. And I thought,
Speaker 1: overall today just cleaner, crisper, cleaner, more what you expect
Speaker 1: when you come out to see the Patriots practice. Well
Speaker 1: it wasn't all clean though. There was a little bit
Speaker 1: of a fight brewing there with David Andrews Christian Barmore
Speaker 1: both thrown out of course. Yesterday David Andrews Rallied the
Speaker 1: troops after practice, gave them a little talking to, came
Speaker 1: up in his press availability, and you know, you could
Speaker 1: tell the frustration was was boiling over a little bit.
Speaker 1: He carried that energy over today. What do you guys
Speaker 1: think of you know, Andrews and bringing a little bit
Speaker 1: of fire to the offense, probably something they needed. I
Speaker 1: liked it, And you know, it does go back to
Speaker 1: Monday and the way practice ended in Monday may have
Speaker 1: been the worst day overall offensively that we've seen. And
Speaker 1: I think some of the frustration was spilling over with Andrews.
Speaker 1: He talked to the guys after the practice and then
Speaker 1: she spoke to us, you know, like this, it's got
Speaker 1: to get better, you know, in no uncertain terms. And
Speaker 1: I thought he came out today with I don't want
Speaker 1: to say that like more effort, because I don't think
Speaker 1: there was an effort problem. I don't think there's been
Speaker 1: an effort problem. But I think there was a little
Speaker 1: bit more intensity, uh, certainly on offense than we've seen.
Speaker 1: We didn't see those breakdowns that we've seen from the
Speaker 1: offensive line. There were no runaway rushers that have been
Speaker 1: a big problem, and I think Andrews was part of that.
Speaker 1: They did some pass protection pass rush work earlier in
Speaker 1: practice that sort of ended a little bit with a
Speaker 1: skirmission that I think Andrews was in the middle of,
Speaker 1: and then you know, he and Barb. I think Barmore
Speaker 1: was a little close to Mac on one of those
Speaker 1: reps and you know, don't touch Mac, don't touch Mac,
Speaker 1: don't touch the Mac. And I think Andrews I think
Speaker 1: showed good leadership there. And I mean I kind of
Speaker 1: liked it. I liked it. I loved it. I think
Speaker 1: this is exactly what you love so much about David
Speaker 1: Andrews is that he brings that edge and that leadership
Speaker 1: quality to the table, and it was clear that they
Speaker 1: really needed to set the tone and have a little
Speaker 1: bit of a different attitude up front. You know, eleven
Speaker 1: ten practices or whatever. It's been getting pushed around a
Speaker 1: little bit by the defensive front and to see them
Speaker 1: kind of stand up to them a little bit today
Speaker 1: and say no, today is going to be a good
Speaker 1: day for us and not the way it's been so far.
Speaker 1: That that was David Andrews. I think it was the
Speaker 1: one that really came out and set that tone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a couple of you know, just little personnel notes. And know,
Speaker 1: yesterday we talked about Marcus Jones getting a little bit
Speaker 1: of run in the slot. I think I think you
Speaker 1: asked Evan, didn't you ask Bill about that? Today? And
Speaker 1: it seemed like they continue to rotate. It seemed like
Speaker 1: Miles Bryan getting a little bit of shot. But still
Speaker 1: I think, you know a good sign for Marcus Jones.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Jones continues to be on the outside, so it
Speaker 1: seems like they're trying to find something there. Maybe you're
Speaker 1: still kind of experimenting a little bit. Maybe I think
Speaker 1: a lot of the offenses that you look at, especially
Speaker 1: in the division with Miami and even Buffalo to a degree,
Speaker 1: but the Jets as well. There's not a ton of
Speaker 1: size anymore at the wide receiver position. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of everybody wants separation, right, That's what everybody wants at
Speaker 1: the receiver position as speed, separation, route running ability. So
Speaker 1: we've seen it a few times in practice that DeVante
Speaker 1: Parker has gotten matched up on Jonathan Jones and Max's
Speaker 1: just kind of thrown a pop up in DeVante Parker's
Speaker 1: direction and he's been able to go and win that
Speaker 1: hYP mismatch. But how often are you really going to
Speaker 1: see that sort of mismatch across the NFL nowadays where
Speaker 1: all of it is about technicians and athletes and explosive
Speaker 1: players and things like that. So at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, maybe you can get Jaylen Mills onto that
Speaker 1: matchup or something like that and make sure you're a
Speaker 1: little bit more careful. But who Jonathan Jones is lined
Speaker 1: up across from. But more speed on the field is
Speaker 1: a good thing. That's what they need. Absolutely couldn't agree more.
Speaker 1: I mean, those kinds of plays with park are great,
Speaker 1: and it's a nice it's nice to have another element,
Speaker 1: But that's not what you want to rely on. You
Speaker 1: want to have some guys that you know can win
Speaker 1: some matchups and move the ball a little bit more
Speaker 1: conventionally too. Well. Taekwon Thorne continues to look pretty good
Speaker 1: out there as well. That'll do it for us today
Speaker 1: here on the Campcast. Of course, Patriots first preseason game
Speaker 1: coming up against the Giants on Thursday night here at
Speaker 1: Gillette Stadium. We will be here for the Patriots pregame
Speaker 1: show starting at four thirty, so tune in for that,
Speaker 1: and then we're not sure exactly what the weekend schedule is,
Speaker 1: like maybe Sunday Monday. There might be another practice prior
Speaker 1: to joint practices kicking in next week against the Carolina Panthers,
Speaker 1: which should be very telling, very excited to see that,
Speaker 1: see them go against another team and get some reps
Speaker 1: against some opposition that is not the Patriots. So until
Speaker 1: then next week, we'll catch you on the next Training Campcast.
