WEBVTT - Training Camp Cast 7/30: Day 4 Recap, Offense Punches Back

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Camp Cast is your source for all the news from

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Patriots Training Camp.

0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, I do still watch the news.

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>have you covered what did I miss yesterday? Now here

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to review today's practice the writers of Patriots dot com.

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>We have an extra writer of Patriots dot com today,

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 2>not just Mike Dusseau and Paul Pearl, but Evan Lazarre

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>making his debut on the Training Campcast today on a Sunday,

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>A beautiful Sunday, probably our best weather day of camp

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 2>thus far. Gorgeous. I agree with you, like missus h

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 2>from heart to heart. Some some slight changes to the attendants.

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 2>A couple of guys missing today in addition to Thi Montgomery,

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 2>who's out for his second day second practice. Also didn't

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 2>see kaishon booty today, and I did not see Jake Andrews.

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 2>That's correct, Okay, so we're all in agreement on the

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>on the attendance, yes, but so we get the book

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 2>keeping out of the way. I thought, Dare I say,

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>boys that it was a little bit better today offensively? Sure? Yeah,

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>all right, I'm gonna go I'll go I'll go with me.

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>It's deuced. Yeah, I was.

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think, you know, I guess we can

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 3>talk about the last period, which wasn't so great. But

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I thought overall, some of the eleven on eleven stuffy.

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 3>They moved the ball a little bit, I thought, Mac

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 3>a couple of checkdowns. But you know, had I would say,

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 3>that's the most functional of the offense has looked thus far,

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 3>So you know why you're not overreacting to certain things.

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 3>I had them basically going for at the end, so

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, they're not quite there yet. But but but

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, some some baby steps. I thought, you know,

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Taekwon Thornton with the twos. The twos moved the ball

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 3>pretty well too in the red zone. So nice to

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 3>see Taekwon Thornton get a couple of catches from Bailey

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 3>z Appy.

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I got a little extra pep in my step

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 4>today after practice. I don't know if it was the

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 4>weather being so great or Sunday, I don't know, but

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 4>I think what really the reason is that the offense

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 4>showed me something a little bit today. I think there's

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of pushback, which is what you want

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 4>to see. Mac Jones talking about last week how you

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 4>want to go back and forth with the defense in

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 4>training camp. You don't want it to be all one

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 4>sided in either direction. I thought today the offense punched

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 4>back a little bit for Mac. The highlight to me

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 4>was the dump off to Kevin Harris against the safety

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 4>blitz by Jalen Mills.

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Terrific play.

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 4>Just finally seeing a blitz come, get a little hot

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 4>route behind it, just dump it right off and there

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 4>was nobody on that side of the field and Kevin

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 4>Harris waltzed into the end zone. That's the type of

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 4>play that we've been clamoring for for Mac Jones. We

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 4>know he's not going to be this josh Allen bazooka

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 4>armed quarterback, but can you make the cerebral plays. Can

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 4>you make the football IQ plays? And that we talked

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 4>last week about the little heave in the back of

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.839
<v Speaker 4>the end zone to Devonte Parker where you just saw

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 4>the blitz coming and just kind of tried to jail

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 4>break it and get it out of there. This play

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 4>looked cool. Calm collected against pressure, knew exactly where he

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 4>was supposed to go with the football and hit Kevin

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 4>Harris in the flat for a touchdown. There wasn't a

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 4>ton of downfield stuff from Mac, but I thought he

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 4>was on time. I thought he was seeing it well.

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's a good starting point. But as

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 4>Deuce mentioned, there at the end red zone and it

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 4>particularly inside the ten yard line is still a slog

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 4>for this group and they're gonna have to figure that out.

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 2>No nobody uncovering down there in that last series, and

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 2>it caused some sacks, some scrambles and things, and it

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 2>got a little bit unraveled. But I thought both Mac

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:22.799
<v Speaker 2>and I totally agree with you on that play. And

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>I thought I think it was two plays later. You

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 2>know that little jet sweep motion kind of thing. He

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 2>starts off in the backfield, so it wasn't exactly what

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>you've been describing a lot. He started off, you know, red,

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know if you guys saw Mac motion

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 2>on the call, so he just he just sees it, right,

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, clearly Max saw something. And that's why, like,

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get too carried away with the throws,

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>because Evan's right, they're just like little checkdowns. But that's

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>the kind of stuff that if this offense, I don't

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 2>think this offense is gonna win a lot just on

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 2>cheer ability. That's how they're gonna have to win. And

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, he just bubbles out as Evan called the

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 2>tear motion, and it is an easy pitching catch for

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>a play, And I thought that started the juice offensively.

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>And then Zappi went in and I thought, really made

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 2>some impressive throws. He was able to get the ball

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 2>on the end zone a little bit from the high

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>red zone up by the eighteen two in a span

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>of three plays, two absolutely perfect throws to the back

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.239
<v Speaker 2>left hand corner of the end zone where he finds

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>first Jalen Heard, nice high point then the back of

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 2>the end zone. Absolutely got his feet in bounds too.

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I had a good look at that, and then Trey

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 2>Nixon and then later on I thought the little fade

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>to Taekwon Thornton was just gorgeous. Yeah, a little bit

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 2>of butter on that one. So I thought there was

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>some signs offensively. The crowd got into it a little

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 2>bit at that point. The offensive players were excited about it.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Zappi talked a little bit afterwards, just sort of talking

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 2>about how this is what you're doing. You know, you're

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 2>working those first three days to put things in place

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 2>so you can have this be the result. So it

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 2>was good to see them have some success today. Yeah,

0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 2>I said, I like seeing Thornton one o their plays.

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Just want that to highlight was I thought, a really

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.039
<v Speaker 2>nice play on that. You know, we talked about the

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 2>ones inside the nine. With Christian Gonzalez just making a

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>great play on the ball Juju Smith Schuster. It looked

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:10.679
<v Speaker 2>to me like here comes.

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be a bang bang play and I was

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 3>excited because it seemed like Max saw it, but so

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 3>did Christian Gonzalez almost came up with the pick. But

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 3>I just it's, you know, another little feather in Christian

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Gonzalez's cap, who I think continues to kind of rise.

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 3>You're seeing key on White get a little bit more

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 3>work with some of the pass rushing fronts, and even

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 3>Martein Map who.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Who had been real quiet the first few days, starting

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:30.279
<v Speaker 2>to scratch.

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 3>We got more reps today than the first started to

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 3>get a little bit of reps on defense at linebacker. Looked,

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, maybe like a two minute drill situation, so

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 3>they're trying to get You saw three other safeties on

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 3>the field and him. He's kind of blurring the lines

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.160
<v Speaker 3>right now. But I thought a good day for those

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 3>three rookies. And then finally just I would say Ryland too.

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 3>It looked like he was He hit all his field goals.

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 3>He looked strong and missed one, took one on from above, but.

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>He did miss one, and he I thought, I thought

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 2>everything was better today for the most part. And you

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 2>guys are right, I mean there was you know, we

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 2>don't want to just ignore the play. So Jalen Mills,

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, stepped in front of an out on Zappi. Unfortunately,

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 2>that came in the last play of Zappi's set, which

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought was the best set of offensive plays in

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 2>four days for any quarterback, and then he ended it

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 2>with a bad pick on an out. I think it

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 2>was intended for Thornton, a little bit telegraph. Uh yeah,

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 2>And that's a throw that he has trouble with. I

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 2>think I think both quarterbacks have trouble with that, but

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 2>I think Zappi in particular struggles with his accuracy on

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>some of those out routes. Jalen Mills, you know, stepped

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>in and picked it off, and you talked about the one. Yeah,

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 2>that Gonzale. Gonzales just he's my I mean, I know

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 2>he's the first round pick. It's not like, oh, what

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.919
<v Speaker 2>a great eye for talent, Paul, but he's my little

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 2>He just looks he's my little camp crush. So far.

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Two other things just to bring up to Christian Barmore

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 3>had a baby back fine, and it looked like DeMarcus Mitchell.

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 3>He was finally starting to participate off of n FI,

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 3>so he'd been warming up the last few days. Today

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 3>he was participating, so they got a little bit more

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 3>healthy in that front. Disappointing for Booty. We haven't seen

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 3>much out of him anyway though, so it's hard to

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 3>really But the other rookie part, I'll I'll.

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 4>Let you I'm excited about it, but I'm trying not

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 4>to be too excited. It's four days into trading camp.

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 4>You don't want to get carried away because we've seen

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 4>this before where guy comes out and has a great

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 4>first four days and the pads come on and then

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 4>you never hear from him again. So I'm trying not

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 4>to get too ahead of myself. With the Mario Douglas,

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 4>but I think the big thing with him is that

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 4>he just plays the receiver position differently than the other

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 4>guys that they have on the team. That quickness, that

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 4>little jitterbug like ability to get in and out of

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 4>the break. There's really just nobody else on the roster

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 4>that plays the receiver position like that. And I think

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 4>when you see him be able to just shake Marcus

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 4>Jones coming over the middle of the field that little

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 4>hesitation move, or lose Miles Brian at the line of scrimmage,

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 4>and just with pure quickness, just absolute jitterbug quickness. That's

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 4>something that we know succeeds here, we know can succeed

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 4>in the slot in particular, And if he can continue

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 4>this once the pads come on and he's just as effective,

0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 4>then I think they really might have found something here.

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 4>And it's so Patriots to just stumble into a wide

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 4>receiver in the sixth round. I think that that's just

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 4>a coincidence, not but I feel like that's gonna be

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 4>a big thing.

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh I do it happened one other time.

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 4>Once the pads come on, we can really get excited

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 4>about tomorrow Douglas. But watching him out here in these

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 4>types of sessions, it's clear that there's something there. And

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 4>now he's starting to catch on with some more frontline

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 4>players and do it against some better corners like Marcus

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 4>Jones and Miles Bryant, guys that have started for the

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 4>Patriots last couple of years. So I'm excited, but I'm

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 4>trying not to be too excited.

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 2>So one last thing I will just add. Since the

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>last time we've done Mike and I talked to you,

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.840
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots did reportedly have a meeting with Ezekiel Elliott,

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 2>so they're still in that sort of backup running back market.

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 2>No word on you know how productive that meeting was.

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I know Ian Rappaport from NFL Network reported that he

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 2>left without a contract. So we'll continue to keep an

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 2>eye on the backup running back market that looks like

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Lennon Ford and now Zeke, so we'll see if they

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 2>go back and you get tied to Dalvin Cook. But

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 2>my guess is I think Monday, when the pads come on,

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>will be a big day for Kevin Harris to see

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 2>if he can. And I know they don't tackle, but

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.319
<v Speaker 2>you get a better idea when you're going through the

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 2>holes that are created by guys actually hitting each other.

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.839
<v Speaker 2>And how Kevin Harris looks when he gets some of

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:23.440
<v Speaker 2>those carries. Yeah, I like the thought of Zeke.

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know when that popped up, I mean

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 3>I knew it was possible, but especially when you just

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 3>see them kind of struggle in the red zone, you know,

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 3>can can you get another big body back?

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Who can?

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 3>I know he's not the receiver, maybe that he might

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 3>have been at one time, but I think just that

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 3>those are the kind of guys they need to give

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 3>him a little bit more of a presence and a

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 3>backup at least to Remandre.

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 4>It just looks like we were talking about this on

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 4>the live stream the other day. There's one point where

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 4>I looked up because Pierre Strong was working with the

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 4>special teamers and it's three guys, right, It's just Remandre,

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 4>Kevin Harris, and JJ Taylor and then obviously Pierre Strong

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 4>in there as well. But at the at the very least,

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.440
<v Speaker 4>it feels like they just need another body to get

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 4>through the summer. But if it's a guy like Zeke

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 4>that maybe can contribute as the RB two or backup

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 4>top backup to Ramandre Stevenson, that's not a terrible one

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 4>two punch. And although he doesn't have the juice that

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.239
<v Speaker 4>he had early on in his career. I think short yardage,

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.560
<v Speaker 4>goal line, those types of situations, I think Zeke can

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 4>still be really effective. I'm not gonna expect him to

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 4>be who he was the first couple of years of

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 4>his career. I would expect him to be somebody that

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.319
<v Speaker 4>can carry the ball though one hundred hundred and fifty

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 4>times and maybe take some of that workload off.

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, So we're expecting pads. You know. Bill Belichick

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 2>spoke before the practice. He was asked flat out and

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 2>he said, yeah, yeah, probably it wouldn't give you a definitive,

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 2>but I'm expecting it to be in full pads on Monday,

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and we will have you a live Patriots Unfiltered will

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 2>do our fourth and final live show, so the gang

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 2>will be back together one more time. So we will

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>be back tomorrow in full pads, guys,
