WEBVTT - Training Camp-Cast 8/23: Biggest takeaways from Day 1 of Joint Practices with Raiders 0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:12.119 This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training 0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.360 Camp Cast is your source for all the news from 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:17.400 Patriots Training Camp. Well, I do still watch the news. 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.400 Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.680 have you covered what I miss yesterday? Now here to 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:26.600 review today's practice the writers of Patriots dot com. All right, 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.840 welcome into another edition of the Patriots Training Camp Cast. 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.559 This is Mike Dousseau joined by Evan Lazar from Patriots 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.199 dot Com, and we are fresh off the field of 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:39.400 the first joint practice between the Patriots and the Raiders. Evan, 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:41.680 right off the top, let's just start with the good 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.160 vibes of the reunion. There were so many Patriots players. 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.519 There's all of a sudden, you know, Julian Edelman pops up. 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.640 Mike Lombardi. You're just seeing all these kind of reunions 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.320 happening between former players. So at the beginning of practice, 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.960 it was a nice happy vibe. Everyone catching up. Yeah, exactly, 0:00:56.000 --> 0:01:00.200 And he saw Julian Edelman was several Patriots players is 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.960 greeting them big hugs all around. I tweeted out before 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.840 a practice started at Edelman, was there a little celeb 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.600 shout out for Julian Edelman and got a lot of 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.720 questions about whether or not he was in pads for 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:16.600 the practice. Is absolutely not. He did not participate in 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.280 the practice, but I saw that he was did something 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.920 with our Patriots dot com social team that's up on 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.760 our channel, so you can check out maybe Edelman's take 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.319 of practice today or something like that, or maybe just 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.319 a quick load of Patriots fans. Yeah. Yeah, he had 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:30.920 a little bit of fun with it, and uh yeah, 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:32.720 I think, like I said, I think the Patriots might 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.959 might have been able to use him today Before we 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.600 get into the practice, those same attendance as yesterday. Uh not, 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.520 no real surprises really, Ronnie Perkins, Harvey Longy, Taekwon Thornton, 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:47.560 as well as Christian Wilkerson. We're not present and not participating. Otherwise, 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.760 it seemed like Isaiah Wind didn't put the red jersey 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:53.040 back on, so he is progressing as well. Uh. We 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.800 got into practice, and we should have a quick disclaimer 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.960 that the media tent here in Vegas. As much as 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.680 Bill Belichick praise this, you know, I think he called 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.360 the Tataj Mahal today, for the media, it was a 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.160 little bit more difficult. We were stationed on one sideline 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.200 of three fields. So we did get an up close 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.920 look at a lot of Raiders stuff, especially early on, 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.440 which was which was kind of cool. But for the Patriots, 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.440 a lot of things happening on that middle and far 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.480 field that that we weren't quite able to get. So, 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.000 you know, no one on ones in terms of the 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.240 defensive line and blockers and all that kind of thing. 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.680 So you know, these are our thoughts of the practice, 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.440 but we were with the media other media, so I 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.640 think everybody kind of had a similar consensus, and and 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.959 that was I mean, really kind of more of the same. 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.720 For the Patriots offense, it was really you know, a 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.160 struggle in team periods, and you know, they did bounce 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.440 back at the end. However, I just it matches what 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.880 we've seen. It's it's in each kind of team drill 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.959 period they make a player two, but then there's a 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.079 lot of incompletes, there's a lot of running plays into traffic, 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.840 and it just again, it just doesn't seem like they've 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.480 established a rhythm and practice this summer at any point 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.640 where they've you know, really strung some play together. But 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.359 I will with one caveat maybe maybe the last series 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.600 that maybe offiction, hope, But you know, otherwise though, kind 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.200 of what we've seen all summer. Yeah, we can get 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:09.920 to that last two minute joke because that's sort of 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.400 the saving grace of this entire practice for the Patriots, 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.119 because we shouldn't have sugarcoated. This was not a good 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.800 Patriots practice. The Raiders dominated almost in every phase until 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:25.400 the very final sequence of practice. Besides maybe the Patriots 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.040 defront against the Raiders O line, it seemed like the 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.240 Patriots defensive front held its own for most of the practice, 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.520 but other than that, it was all Raiders. And I 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.960 think with the Patriots offense you were alluding to it 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.280 just now, what is their identity? What is it that 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.320 they're good at right now that they can say, if 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.320 all else fails, we can hang our hat on this 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.160 one thing, and we can do this one thing. And 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.840 at the moment, I don't know what that is. I 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:57.760 think over the last couple of years, for example, eighteen nineteen, 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.760 the last couple years with Brady, it was one personnel 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.360 fullback in the backfield, we're gonna run the ball, We're 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.720 gonna incorporate play action, and they had that as something 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.200 that was consistent offense for them in a consistent way 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.240 to move the football. I think even last year at 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:17.000 times that was their core identity. Now it doesn't feel 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.599 like they have anything that they're consistently good enough at 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.800 that they can say this is what we do. This 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.000 is Patriot offense. And I would love to ask. We 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.320 talked to Mac Jones tomorrow, so maybe I'll try to 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.680 phrase this question properly and see if we can get 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.240 an answer from Mac. What is the identity of this offense? 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:38.160 Right now? What is Patriots offense in twenty twenty two? 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.240 Because they've dipped their toes in the Shanahan stuff, they 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.000 dipped their toes a little bit in some of more 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.159 spread style elements, or they have Mac and the gun, 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.560 and none of it has really consistently stuck. And that's 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.000 what I'm waiting for, is just one of these practices, 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.280 and we're there student to close the doors on us 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.880 even after this week, right so, I don't know if 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.960 we'll ever actually see it in until it happens in 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.599 a game, But what is the Patriots offense in twenty 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.200 twenty two? I still think that that's a mystery right now. Well, 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.480 we'll leave the last period for after this because I 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.560 want to finish on a high note. Um, But I 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.360 now at this point, and you tweeted about it, just 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.320 a chance to see Davante Adams and Hunter Renfro up front, 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.680 up close. They are phenomenal. The number of downfield passes. 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.440 I mean, I'd have to go through and chart all 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.679 my notes exactly, but I mean I have, like looking 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.120 right now, three catches us right off the top. Four 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.560 even Um. You know, for for Adams, he was all 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.520 over the place. Started in one on one drills where 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.760 you know, I he was running up the sideline with 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.680 Jayala Mills. Look like Jayala Mills had him pinned and 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.520 pretty good coverage right hit to hip and then all 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.000 of a sudden, Davanta Adams just turned it on, burned 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.960 by him. Easy completion downfield. Hunter Renfro is just money 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.560 in the bank. You think about. We see a lot 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.280 of Patriots practices where they're checked out, you know, they 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.000 just right down to the middle, the little guy that 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:51.760 just scorts out the running back, scorts out of backfield 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.520 turn That's what Hunter Renfro was for them. Went when 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.440 in doubt, he just threw it a Hunter Renfro. He 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.560 catches it every time in the middle. So you know, 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.880 those two players certainly gave the Patriots. It's I think 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.880 the biggest challenge they've had this summer as far as 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.640 receiving talent. Absolutely has vibes of Welker and Moss right 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.960 where it's like Adams over the top and Welker underneath 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.880 their Renfro underneath in this case. And I'm not saying 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.400 they're going to be as good as the O seven 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.239 Patriots by any means, but that's sort of the look 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.560 of what I think Josh McDaniels is building. And the 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.080 Raiders didn't even have Darren Waller out there today. He's 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.440 injured and wasn't at practice, so they still have another 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:29.120 weapon that they didn't have out there on Tuesday. So 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.479 I think the biggest thing that you see. You got 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.560 to tip your cap to the Raiders that they have 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.120 a good team. They have a lot of talent, especially 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.680 on the offensive side of the ball. Derek Carr is 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.320 not the best quarterback in the league, but he's more 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.160 than capable of distributing the football to guys that are open, 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.360 like Davante Adams was for pretty much the entire practice. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.599 And I wanted to get into this with you two, Mike, 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.560 because we've been talking about this idea for I don't know, 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.560 maybe a week now, about game planning and the fact 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.040 that the Patriots are not game planning the Las Vegas 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.840 Raiders like they're going to game plan them come December. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.240 And I'm not saying this to make excuses or to 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.039 sugarcoat things about what we saw out there today, but 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.560 I do think that context is really really important, especially 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.960 with the Patriots defense. I still go back to the 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.760 identity thing with the Patriots offense, and I'm not entirely 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.840 sure that a game plan is going to fix all 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.240 of those problems that ail the offense at the moment. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.920 But defensively, I think they have enough talent and we 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.600 saw it at the two minute drill at the end 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.280 that we keep on teasing, they have enough talent on 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.200 that side of the ball that I think Bill Belichick, Rodmeo, 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.119 and Steve can put together a game plan to hold 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.600 some of these high powered offenses at least somewhat in check. 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.680 And I wonder, and we talked to Devin mccordy about this, 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.400 Adrian Phillips about it after practice, and they're like, no, 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.920 this is just play, this is roll the ball out. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.880 It's our ten basic concepts, whereas their ten basic concepts. 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:56.040 It's fundamentals, it's basics. It's essentially a collection of eleven 0:07:56.080 --> 0:08:01.040 individual one on ones, right, it's not actually game plan football. 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.640 So when the Patriots play the Raiders in December and 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.120 we're back out here in Las Vegas, they're gonna have 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.559 a game plan for Davante Adams, and they're not gonna 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.760 say to Jalen Mills and Jonathan Jones, you got seventeen, 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.840 like go get him, right, like good luck? Right. They're 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.480 gonna have safeties over the top, they're gonna have bracket calls, 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.080 they're gonna have different looks thrown at Davante Adams off press, 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.600 you know, all those types of things. And today it's 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.640 basically just one on one mano Imano, like, good luck 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.320 to you out there against seventeen. And he's just an 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.320 all world player and that's not gonna go well for 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:38.160 pretty much any cornerback. I think maybe like Prime Stefani 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.800 Gilmour could take him on an island in a joint practice, 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:45.080 but other than that, it's it's really not easy matchup 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.679 for anybody at any level. No, and that's I mean, 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:49.760 I mean, even with the game plan though, you still 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.520 got problems. If you're gonna double him down the field, 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.160 you're gonna still have to deal with Renfrom and you're 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.280 still gonna have to deal with Waller and talk about 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.920 their their running games. So you know, that's what they're 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.559 telling us right now that you know, this is where 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.240 we're just working on fundamentals. So that's all fine. But 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.480 I've watched enough of these training camps now to know 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.040 that what I've seen this summer just hasn't quite clicked yet. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.640 We'll see if it does. So let's you know, but 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.200 let's get into the final period. Because they you know, 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.000 at the end, did some eleven on eleven work, They 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.040 did some red zone stuff, they did some then they 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.559 did some full field stuff where they put up on 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.960 the clock twenty to twenty four for the for the offense, 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.679 they've got to go down with about like a minute 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.200 twenty left, they've got to go down and score. To 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.840 that point, it had been pretty rough. But then the 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.600 defense I think started started it off with you know, 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.160 came down towards the end, they had it, you know, 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.560 a near pick and incomplete. I I wasn't sure. I 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.160 think you said it was Jude on then with back 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.079 to back kind of sacks at the end to close 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.560 it out. I thought one of them was ouch, but 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.320 again it was hard to tell. But all of a sudden, 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.400 you know, at the end they clicked in on defense 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.079 and the offense would soon fall a sweep, but they 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:49.680 were able to get some plays and get off the 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.880 field there. So definitely, at least, you know, start with 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.840 the defense. They then ended with a high none and 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.640 just one more point to make. I think the run 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.520 defense was okay today. You know, some of the some 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.800 of the runs look similar to what the Patriots were 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.760 look and where it's you're just running into a crowd, 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:03.960 and you know, would he scored it out. Probably not, 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:05.920 but you know it's hard to tell for sure without 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.400 without any tackling at all. But but that was a 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.040 good sequence for the defense. Jonathan Jones, I know popped 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.120 up earlier. You know, I did have a pass defense 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.679 on Davante Adams, which was a nice play for him. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.120 So to start with the defense a nice little end 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.199 for them. Yeah, And I think what we've seen consistently 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.720 all summer is at the defensive front, especially that third 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.000 down or two minute pass rush package with Judeon and 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.520 bar Moore, josh Ucha on the other edge opposite of 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:34.400 jude On, maybe a Dietrich Wise as the other interior guy. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.720 That group has been able to get after quarterbacks. Whether 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.559 it's the Patriots quarterbacks, or it's these joint practices against 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.080 Baker Mayfield or today against Derek Carr, they've been able 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.880 to pressure quarterbacks with that front and control the line 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.880 of scrimmage at times. And I think that that's really 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.320 where this defense's strength is going to have to be, 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.680 and they'll be able to be multiple and mix and 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.679 match some of their blitz package in there as well, 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.240 and be able to get after some quarterbacks. Judeon he 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.160 drew a hold. I think ja was the one that 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.000 maybe got to Car eventually, but I think it was 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.679 jude On that drew a hold on that play on 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.000 the tight end. Then he comes back on the next 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.679 play they ran a kind of like a zero look 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.560 and bluffed it and then Judon got another sack of 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:19.000 Derek Carr to end that drive. So a really good 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.040 sign that Judeon back to back play is basically wrecked 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.640 to drive single handedly for against the Raiders. And then 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.000 you mentioned the pass break up to Jonathan Jones. We 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.640 talked to Phillips, like I mentioned earlier, after practice, he 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.439 said he actually dropped an interception, that he jumped a 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.400 route and dropped the pick. It was pretty hard on 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.080 himself for dropping the interception, but the point is as 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:41.760 he was in position to make a big play for 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.880 the defense and potentially turned the tide there on the Raiders. 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.120 Even more so, that drive was the best sequence of 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:52.239 the practice for the Patriots, and that pass rush package 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.760 and that kind of third down look that the Patriots 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.839 can give you defensively has been really, really good, I 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:03.280 would say throughout both joint practice sessions and obviously against 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.680 the Panthers in the preseason game when we did see 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.120 it a little bit there last Friday night. That's been 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.760 the most consistent thing the Patriots have going right now. Yeah, 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.199 you mentioned that, you know one thing that's kind of 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.080 starting a pop for me, But it seems like Christian 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.600 Bamber were getting a little bit of look with the 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.040 base defense up top at the right defensive end position 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.800 that we saw a lot of teacher Kwise Henry Anderson. 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.520 So I think that's you know, good sign certainly for 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.120 both of us who want to see him become a 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.480 three down player. Let's set the stage though for the 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.200 last offensive possession. Um, you know, but the previous two 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.360 I've got you know, they had six reps in the 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.400 previous two eleven on elevens. I had the first one, 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.240 nice nice touchdown passed to Davante Parker. Um. But that 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.080 was the only completion they had in the initial red 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.240 zone series. The second one I had, you know, one 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.640 one to Agalore. That was it. Other that three more incompletions, 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.120 uh and it looked like maybe two kind of runs. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.559 So set in the stage you're going into this final 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.800 that you're on the clock. It's you know, Pressuron not 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.560 really expecting much. I'm gonna I'm gonna do my rudimentary 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.720 just kind of run down of how it went because 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.880 it was it was pretty surprising. First one, nothing crazy, 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:00.560 just seemed like a little five yard checked down and 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.720 believed to Harris. Second one I didn't get a good 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.440 look at, but I know it was incomplete. Then they 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.480 then they started hitting Myers, uh tie Montgomery. They got 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.920 a real nice throw I thought to Davante Parker again 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.880 which was right along the sidelines, a little toe tap 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.000 and out for a first down. Um. The next completion 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.679 was to John H. Smith. I thought it was a touchdown. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.560 I didn't know. I don't know. They marked it down 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.440 on the one yard line, but it didn't matter. They 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.240 came back in the next one and Mac found Kendrick 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.280 Bourne in the back of the end zone. Big spike 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.080 from him. We know he's been going through some some 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.720 you know things right now, trying to improve his playing time, 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.560 and you know, with sitting out the game last week, 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.760 so you know, just like that, it was a real 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.840 nice finish. It was, I mean, really one of maybe 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.719 the best possessions I've seen all summer in terms of 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.760 just sheer volume of completions and nice plays and you know, 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.640 nice throws by Mac and good catches. So I guess 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.319 we're the point we're at right now after kind of 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.400 being depressed for most of the practice, was Hey, they 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.480 finished off strong. Maybe this is something that they can 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.400 build off of. I still think, and look, you can't 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.560 play in the two minute hurry up for for six minutes, right, 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.719 you can't do it all the time. But when they 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.400 spread the field and they put their best skill players 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.920 out there and they just kind of let Max sling 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.199 it Yeah, it really feels like that's the best that 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.960 they've looked all summer when they give him those opportunities. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.839 You mentioned the throw to Myers, which was a third 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.960 down play they had to move the chains, and then 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.480 the one to Parker. Those two really stood out to 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.680 me the most because they were timing routes right. It's 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.640 a speed out to Myers and it was like a 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.160 deep out to Parker and he hit the back foot, 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.440 the ball was out on time, the receiver was where 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.440 he's supposed to be, and it was a complete and 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.800 we moved the chains. Those are the types of plays 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.520 that I feel like we haven't seen quite enough of, 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.440 where the timing, the rhythm, the execution, everybody's on the 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.720 same page, the blocking holds up and it all looks 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.800 the way it should. I think a lot of the 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.600 offense that we've seen it's kind of like that Nelson 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.720 Agloor play we keep on going back to on Friday 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.840 Night against Carolina, where it's one big play down the 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.880 field of races a bunch of other things, or DeVante 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.400 Parker goes up and wins a jump ball on one 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.680 against a defender. I'm not necessarily sure that is the 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.560 most consistent or efficient way to move to football when 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.480 you get into these plays or these sequences where they're 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.240 hitting Myers on time and rhythm, they're hitting Parker on 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.640 time and rhythm, and even the touchdown to Bourne that 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.800 was on time and in rhythm as well. So I 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.520 think that those are the types of plays that you're 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.040 hoping you see more of from the Patriots offense. Well, 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:24.520 it's hard to believe, but we're only gonna get to 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.240 watch one more practice this summer, so I don't want 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.080 to make it up to be the climax of the summer, 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.400 but you know, certainly the stage has been set based 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.000 on what happened today. I'm sure there are going to 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.000 be plenty of rite ups today focusing heavily on the 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.920 struggles of the Patriots offense. So we'll see how they 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.320 react tomorrow. But it's it's again, it's hard to believe. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:41.920 Summer is almost over. We're not going to get to 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.840 watch another practice after tomorrow until next summer, and then 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.280 the climax, of course of the preseason will be on 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.600 Friday night here against these Raiders. So we will be 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.440 back tomorrow with the final camp cast to wrap everything 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.840 up for you. This was a thorough one. We really 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.800 dove into it, so hopefully we can provide some light 0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:59.760 on it out here in Vegas of what's been going on. 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.400 We'll see how things develop, and we'll catch you next 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.760 time on the campcast.
