Speaker 1: The Patriots are back in pads after a day off,
Speaker 1: but they were inside the field house today a little
Speaker 1: bit wet.
Speaker 2: They still got after it. Let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the training Camp cast presented by New
Speaker 1: Balance and Yes, today was practice number seven.
Speaker 2: Paw, is that crazy number eight number? It's because you
Speaker 2: weren't there, the one that I missed. You missed one day,
Speaker 2: I missed one.
Speaker 1: But let's start off with something crazy. AJ Brown dislocated
Speaker 1: his thumb and kept practicing. We didn't find out till
Speaker 1: afterwards we saw him.
Speaker 2: How did you know?
Speaker 1: Spoken an NFL network afterwards, A J. Brown came in
Speaker 1: and told us, but don't worry everybody, he finished practice.
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like something major, but a little bit of
Speaker 1: news there. Nobody wants to see him get her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a rep early on him, and Christian
Speaker 3: Gonzale says, they've done, you know, several times already joined
Speaker 3: this camp. Pretty physical at the point, and then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it looked like Brown just kind of
Speaker 3: stopped his route. Gonzo ended up picking the pass off
Speaker 3: off you know at that stage went over.
Speaker 2: It was with the trainers for a little while.
Speaker 3: Looked like he got taped up, and then he was
Speaker 3: right back out there for the next team period and
Speaker 3: took part in the rest of the practice. So I
Speaker 3: wouldn't be overly concerned about it. I don't think Aja
Speaker 3: himself would have been talking about it as much as
Speaker 3: he did if it was something to worry about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'd been caught a couple slants after that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: one down the field passed with Caroon Pronci and coverage.
Speaker 2: But he looks like he's going to be okay.
Speaker 1: But overall, and I'd say a lot of like maybe
Speaker 1: short yardage running work today, more red zone stuff. You
Speaker 1: can see how they're really starting to string this whole
Speaker 1: thing together.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, you know, when you have a condensed
Speaker 4: field inside, there's no real point in putting the ball
Speaker 4: on the twenty and trying to play a full field game.
Speaker 4: So I think they were more intight today. But I
Speaker 4: feel like we're getting into the point of training camp
Speaker 4: now where there's a little bit of that grind and
Speaker 4: that tension building up.
Speaker 2: And it was to stuff.
Speaker 4: It was inside, it was hot, it was a little
Speaker 4: bit of back and forth. Very early on in practice,
Speaker 4: Romeo Dobbs took an end around and Craig Woodson kind
Speaker 4: of took him to the ground, and I was like, whoa, Okay,
Speaker 4: it's going to be that kind of day. So I
Speaker 4: think that it was a little bit of that is brewing.
Speaker 4: You know, you've been practicing impads against the same people
Speaker 4: for multiple practices now.
Speaker 3: I will just say real quick, on that play, I
Speaker 3: had the same initial reaction that Evan just did, and
Speaker 3: I was like, whoa. Well, so that I think Hunter
Speaker 3: Henry may have kind of helped Woodson along it. I
Speaker 3: wo just I don't want people to think that we
Speaker 3: were yeah.
Speaker 2: Carry on, carry on.
Speaker 1: I don't want to make too much of it though,
Speaker 1: but the connection I thought still made it was Tommy
Speaker 1: DeVito with MATC Collins three a few touchdowns. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, we're getting something, Like you said, ev it's
Speaker 1: getting to be a little bit of a grind. But
Speaker 1: I do think it's worth pointing out, you know, some
Speaker 1: of these guys on the second team reps that are,
Speaker 1: you know, consistently making plays. I think Tommy DeVito and
Speaker 1: Baron Morton, by that note, have both been pretty.
Speaker 2: Solid this camp.
Speaker 1: Seems like Baron Morton's getting more opportunities than we saw.
Speaker 1: Ben Wooldridge get last year and the ball just to
Speaker 1: Paul's thing, it doesn't really hit the ground a lot
Speaker 1: no matter who's in there.
Speaker 2: I just think it's a positive sign. I know, look, we.
Speaker 1: Don't want to see Tommy DeVito, we'd like to stick
Speaker 1: with Drake May for the length of the season, but
Speaker 1: promising signing that this guy came in. They gave them
Speaker 1: basically the backup job and he's performing pretty well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say with DeVito, you want to see
Speaker 4: those guys be able to showcase their skills more so
Speaker 4: maybe than I'm worried about Tommy DeVito. And sometimes we
Speaker 4: see these backup quarterbacks that frankly are just so inaccurate
Speaker 4: that you can't really gauge the receivers. And mac Collins
Speaker 4: you mentioned, I would say Kayshawn Boody to an extent
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 4: Both those guys, whenever they rep with the twos, it's
Speaker 4: so clear that they are cut above everybody else that's
Speaker 4: on the field. Mac Collins had a couple, but I
Speaker 4: think the best throw of the day was the back
Speaker 4: pylon throw that de Vito made the Booty and that
Speaker 4: one was great. Yeah, right on the money. Could not
Speaker 4: be defended because it was just so perfectly placed. So
Speaker 4: both those receivers, it's very clear to me when they
Speaker 4: get down to the twos and are just we talk
Speaker 4: about it all the time. There's seven guys that they
Speaker 4: need to get reps for, and Mac Collins and Kaysehan
Speaker 4: Boody will sometimes get the rep with the twos and
Speaker 4: it's just very clear that they're too good for that
Speaker 4: group of people on an NFL field. So Mac Collins
Speaker 4: did almost take out a reporter. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: name names he did. Okay, no, it was. It was
Speaker 4: pretty close, but it was. It was a good showing
Speaker 4: from I think all those guys, Booty, Holland's nice practices.
Speaker 2: Good back and forth. I thought I thought they were
Speaker 2: pretty competitive. I agree with you.
Speaker 3: Those guys caught passes, but I thought there was some
Speaker 3: some balls they could have caught that they didn't, both
Speaker 3: Holland's in and Booty, And especially with Booty, it's striking
Speaker 3: to me because generally anytime the ball gets thrown to
Speaker 3: him and he gets his hands on it, he catches it.
Speaker 3: There were a couple today that well is slant went
Speaker 3: off his hands up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a clear drop on this line, and.
Speaker 3: There were a couple of the times I thought Holland
Speaker 3: showed some frustration. We're getting getting locked up a little bit.
Speaker 3: So I did think there was some good back and forth.
Speaker 3: We heard from Kevin Bayert after practice sort of talked
Speaker 3: about the value of that you don't want, you know,
Speaker 3: it's never going to be one side just sort of
Speaker 3: carrying the day. And and I don't think that was
Speaker 3: the case today. Good good, solid competition, good heat. I
Speaker 3: thought between the two maybe it was because we were
Speaker 3: so much closer, you feel, to the field. You could
Speaker 3: hear the reactions after plays. But I thought they were
Speaker 3: getting after a pretty good Yeah. You see the guys
Speaker 3: are actually pretty big too when you're that close.
Speaker 2: To the mark.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh yeah, turns out sneaky NFL players, sneaky big.
Speaker 1: NFL players, sneaky big do so colon breaking news here.
Speaker 1: Gate back is starting to ramp up a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know. One I think one one on one rep.
Speaker 4: Yes, a little bit of team I think he tried
Speaker 4: to sneak into the drill every two seconds and Mike
Speaker 4: Smith had to keep pulling him back and pulling him back.
Speaker 4: He went up against Laurence Mets, who's probably not going
Speaker 4: to be on the team if we're being honest. But
Speaker 4: he did beat him in the one on one, and
Speaker 4: he had a handful of team reps as well in
Speaker 4: eleven on eleven's and we saw him go right around
Speaker 4: Marcus Bryant to blow up a run play at one
Speaker 4: point in practice. So he looks like he's in great shape.
Speaker 4: It doesn't look like he was sitting on the couch
Speaker 4: waiting to get the contract done. He looks like a
Speaker 4: freaking Adonis out there. I mean, if he plays as
Speaker 4: well as he looked, then we're going to be in
Speaker 4: good shape. So I think that's the biggest takeaway so
Speaker 4: far is that he looks like he's ready to go.
Speaker 4: He looks eager, he looks like he's in shape, and
Speaker 4: now he just got to see how he progresses.
Speaker 2: Get to those Colts joint practices next Tuesday. Baby.
Speaker 3: By that time, before me, I think today he was
Speaker 3: he was pretty much in there. I mean, like, like
Speaker 3: Kevin said, he took some team reps, and what if
Speaker 3: you're taking team reps.
Speaker 2: You're sort of ready to go. Yeah. A couple so
Speaker 2: a couple of housekeeping things.
Speaker 1: Terrell Jennings number twenty six came off of NiFi and
Speaker 1: was pret pretty much a full participate, I mean jumped
Speaker 1: in there.
Speaker 2: He was too.
Speaker 1: He was running through the line. No Kid and Wallace,
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams. We didn't see him initially. Later in practice
Speaker 1: he showed up. He looked kind of wet. He was
Speaker 1: all in full pads. I wonder if maybe he was
Speaker 1: doing some rehab or something outside. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: didn't really get into any of the team drills in
Speaker 1: new number.
Speaker 2: Ninety six as well. Casey Rogers.
Speaker 1: So starting to see Paul some of that, you know,
Speaker 1: bottom of the depth chart, No Kaid and Wallace, you
Speaker 1: know what. We don't know what's going on there, but
Speaker 1: it seems like they're rotating guys a little bit. You're
Speaker 1: starting to see some movement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't know what the situation is with Wallace,
Speaker 3: but you know, the defensive lineman, you know, someone you
Speaker 3: know sort.
Speaker 2: Of working with the threes gets banged up.
Speaker 3: They don't really have time for you to miss a
Speaker 3: practice or sure, they got to bring someone in to
Speaker 3: make sure that those reps get replaced.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's part of the balance.
Speaker 3: But good to see both Actus and Terrell Jennings back,
Speaker 3: and you know, maybe we'll see Harold Landry before too long.
Speaker 3: I don't know how much longer. I mean, Mike Vrabel
Speaker 3: did talk late last week and said that he was
Speaker 3: going to be longer than those guys. So we'll see
Speaker 3: if that's something that impacts the regular season. It's still
Speaker 3: no Carlon Davis Evan.
Speaker 1: I felt like, I think we all have noticed, you know,
Speaker 1: some of these younger cornerbacks getting some opportunities here k
Speaker 1: Roon PUNTI was in the midst of a couple of
Speaker 1: different things today. Thought, you know, he was a good
Speaker 1: pass breakup on AJ Brown. Then he had one with
Speaker 1: I think it was not sure one.
Speaker 3: Of the low you know, just like he was going
Speaker 3: to just muscled them.
Speaker 2: It took the ball away come up. That was definitely
Speaker 2: a catch.
Speaker 4: I'm going to pick it's the battle of possession, but
Speaker 4: I feel like he had the ball and then they
Speaker 4: were on the ground and after he already had possession
Speaker 4: of the ball.
Speaker 3: Dejannio, Well, are you a fighting about that? So I'll
Speaker 3: go with Channon Crowder as the Chada Canada. I keep
Speaker 3: calling him Crowder because he already wrote Crowder in his
Speaker 3: update and he kept telling me about it. I thought
Speaker 3: he was sort of the secondary member of the secondary
Speaker 3: who really showed up. I thought he got some more
Speaker 3: reps today with twos that I hadn't really seen. It's
Speaker 3: been Prunty and Minor and those guys. I thought twenty
Speaker 3: nine in Blue showed up today, and then again when
Speaker 3: they're doing the kickoff returns, he was doing some of
Speaker 3: those reps too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems like he's got some versatility, maybe a
Speaker 4: player that could play inside. Prunty just impresses me though,
Speaker 4: because of his size, speed length, he can carry a
Speaker 4: go route. I mean that's for sure, like he did
Speaker 4: it twice today. So I don't know if he's going
Speaker 4: to be able to cover the whole route tree just yet.
Speaker 4: But if you put a guy out there like that
Speaker 4: that's at least not going to get burned deep, then
Speaker 4: you feel pretty good about helping him out on the
Speaker 4: other stuff. So with his length, with his speed, I
Speaker 4: think he's got that ability to carry vertical routes down
Speaker 4: the field. And when you play on the outside, that's
Speaker 4: the majority of what you're going to see. So very
Speaker 4: early leader, I think out of that group as like
Speaker 4: the fifth cornerback that they might carry. I think Charles
Speaker 4: Woods is on this team as the fourth guy, and
Speaker 4: I'd say Prunty is making a push right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Charles Woods getting a lot of reps still. Carlon
Speaker 1: Davis continues to be out. That's offering opportunities to some
Speaker 1: of these guys.
Speaker 2: So we'll see.
Speaker 1: We're in the dog days of camp now. That's been
Speaker 1: four padded practices in five days. To replay on that
Speaker 1: proNT We'll try to get the go to the tape
Speaker 1: before next breakdown, but they'll be back in pads again tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Tuesday is supposed to be a beautiful day if you're
Speaker 1: able to come on down here to the Jet Stadium.
Speaker 2: It's a great take
