1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: And just like that, Patriots twenty twenty five training camp 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: is underway. What happened in day one, We're here to 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: break it down for you. Deuce and Lazarre here to 4 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: break down day one of Patriots training campv it's. 5 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: Good to be back on a first day of school. 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 2: Vibe a little bit. 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's good to be back. 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: Plenty of highlights. Of course, things started off. 9 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: We had a bunch of puppies arrived today and Stephan 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: Diggs almost lost one, luckily not a precursor to what 11 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: was to come. 12 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: It was an active day, more of a review day. 13 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: I would say, listen from some of the players early on, 14 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: but I think the thing that stood out to me 15 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: was the very first play in eleven on eleven Stefan 16 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: digs on a crosser, was like, this is what we're 17 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: here for. 18 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: Little connection between him and Drake. Good way to start things. 19 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 3: It's a great way to start things. And only two 20 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 3: team periods in the ninety minute practice, so it wasn't 21 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 3: a ton of like real football to Glee and I 22 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: don't want to come in here and have all these 23 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 3: big proclamations off of one practice, not in pads. But 24 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 3: it was great to see Stefan Diggs out there as 25 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 3: a full participant. It didn't seem like he was limited 26 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 3: at all or hindered at all by that knee injury. 27 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 3: And like you said, very first play of eleven on 28 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 3: eleven's a little shallow crosser over the middle of the 29 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 3: field in stride just to fon Diggs. Big roar from 30 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 3: the crowd. That's the connection everybody came here to see. 31 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 3: So it's great to already have those two hitting it off. 32 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,279 Speaker 1: Staying with some individual plays, Kyle Williams a couple catches, 33 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: real nice can test to catch along the sideline against 34 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: Christian Gonzalez. Again, I think there were maybe about thirteen 35 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: or about sixteen total plays of eleven on eleven this 36 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: whole practice. 37 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: But Kyle Williams rookie making two catches. 38 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: It's hard to ask for a better start for a 39 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: rookie receiver than to you know, get. 40 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: Involved absolutely and against Christian Gonzalez on the backside. Drake 41 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: May kind of broke it down after practice and said 42 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 3: he saw, you know, one on one out there and 43 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: just gave Kyle Williams a chance a little back shoulder 44 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 3: fade finished through some contact on Gonzo. It was pretty 45 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: tight in coverage, So that was one thing that you 46 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 3: talk about with speed receivers one hundred and ninety pounds, 47 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 3: like how is he going to play through contact? How 48 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 3: is he going to handle the physicality of the NFL? 49 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 3: And Kyle Williams right away and made a play right 50 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: through contacts that was good to see. And the other 51 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 3: catch that he made a little underneath dump off that 52 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 3: Drake may had to him. It looked like a nice 53 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 3: progression by Drake to get to the check down and 54 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 3: Kyle Williams turned it upfield and he had some room there, 55 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 3: you know, Robert Spulane was trying to catch up to him, 56 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 3: and you saw that juice and that ability after the 57 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: catch shine in that play as well. So I thought 58 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 3: that even in a live setting that that probably would 59 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: have been a big play for Kyle Williams too. So 60 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: two really standout plays from him. 61 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: I have you been saying, you're really excited to see 62 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: how Drake, you know, meshes into Josh McDaniel's offense, what 63 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: it looks like, you know what were just some of 64 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: your takeaways today watching and it admittedly limited sample size. 65 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: It was nice to see some of the quick rhythm 66 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: throws that we did see. One that really stood out 67 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 3: was to pop Douglas on the right sideline, just a 68 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: little slant flat, but he read it quickly. The ball 69 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: was out on time. You know, Josh McDaniels loves the 70 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: quick game. He wants to get the ball in first 71 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: and second down out of the quarterback's hands as quickly 72 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 3: as possible. And I thought that play right now there, 73 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 3: great read, really quick, trusted it, let it go to Douglas, 74 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 3: gave him a chance to maybe pick up some yards 75 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: after the catch too. So I saw that play and 76 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: I was like, all right, that's an odd time in 77 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: rhythm play. That's how it should look, which is what 78 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 3: you want to see. 79 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: So sticking on the offensive side of the ball. 80 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: Just one other little nugget we mentioned rookie Kyle Williams 81 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: making some catches. Notice rookie Jared Wilson getting some snaps 82 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: at center there under Drake Man. And you don't want 83 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: to read too much into it. We know the competition 84 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: on the interior line is going to happen all summer long. 85 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: But good sign for a rookie Jared Wilson who spent 86 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: all the spring kind of rehabbing wasn't really involved. 87 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: We get out here day one, he's already getting some opportunities. 88 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love to see it because he didn't see 89 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: him in the spring, and you always worry about rookies 90 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: starting behind the eight ball a little bit when they 91 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: can't practice due to injuries or whatever their situation is. 92 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: So seeing Jared Wilson out there instantly here in training 93 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: camp play a little bit of guard, a little bit 94 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: of center, looked like Garrett Bradbury was kind of leading 95 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: off drills at center, and then Wilson would come in 96 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: and play a little bit of center and snap the 97 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: ball as well. So a really athletic player, we know that, 98 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: really high upside player as well. Bradbury kind of here 99 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: to be a bridge, you know, a one year stop 100 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 3: gap veteran. So if Jared Wilson can really start to 101 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: come on here the talent, it kind of elevates the 102 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: talent of that offensive line. There's a little bit more 103 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: upside there with him at center. 104 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, Cole Strange getting plentying opportunities at left guard as well. 105 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: Let's flip it over to the defensive side of the ball, 106 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: which again really and by. 107 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 3: That you waited this long for the defense, I know 108 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 3: what it killed you. 109 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: Well, there were no pads on, so I even I 110 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: could admit it's a little hard to evaluate the defense today. 111 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: Caught at least one sack from key On White coming 112 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: off the edge. Did the old you know, tap Drake 113 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: in the button, put the hands up like I got him. 114 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: Good play from key On White. Seemed like they were 115 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: getting some pressure. 116 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: They were definitely getting some pressure. And if there's you 117 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: can look at it both ways with these training camp practices. 118 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 3: On the positive end, Milton Williams, Keon White saw Harold 119 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: Landry in there, Chase On in there a little bit. 120 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 3: That's the positive, right, is that the defense was getting pressure. 121 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: The other side of that, though, is obviously you're talking 122 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 3: about the Patriots offensive line and the issues that they've 123 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: had over the last couple of years blocking. But in general, 124 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 3: I thought there was a decent amount of pressure on 125 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 3: Drake May in this practice. And I don't really love 126 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 3: counting like practice sacks. You never actually know if they 127 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: would have gotten him on the ground. And it's hard 128 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: to see live without actually going back and reviewing it. 129 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: But let's call it. You know, a handful of pressures 130 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: certainly that were on the quarterback. Positive end is that 131 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: Milton Williams and Kean White and Landry and those guys 132 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: were doing their job. Negative vent is obviously getting that 133 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 3: offensive line going. 134 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Roberts spoiling very complimentary the defensive lineman, saying, we 135 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: just want to let those dogs eat. 136 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 2: They get after it. The linebackers will take care of 137 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: the rest. 138 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: Anything else of that overall that stood out to you, 139 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: I would say just attendance. One notable Jalen Polk, who 140 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: had been rehabbing most of the offseason, limited with the 141 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: shoulder surgery. I believe he wasn't around, He wasn't dressed, 142 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: So that's you know, it seemed like the team was 143 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: healthy going in. But a little bit of a strike 144 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: there for a poor Jalen Polk, you know, wanted to 145 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: get going, bounced back from that rookie season. 146 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe a little bit unexpected just because he wasn't 147 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 3: on any of the lists, not on PUP or NFI. 148 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 3: But he didn't practice. Matt Collins still not really practicing. 149 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: I don't know what to call him right now. There's 150 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: like technicalities with is he off perview? 151 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: Is he not off pup? 152 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: But the one guy on the positive end was Carlton Davis, 153 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: who started on NFI early on in camp. Yesterday, Raybel 154 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: told us he was on NFI but would come off quickly. 155 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 3: And he's already off, you know, day one, he was 156 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: already out there opposite Christian Gonzalez. So you have that 157 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: cornerback tandem that you want with Davis and Gonzalez. So 158 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: I don't think whatever it was with Carlton Davis, now 159 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: we can just kind of forget about that. 160 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: All right. 161 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: Well, day one is officially in the books. We are 162 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: off and rolling. We will have these training camp casts 163 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: for you guys after every practice, summon it up and 164 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: as we go along, there's gonna be plenty more to dissect, 165 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: especially next week when we get the pads on. So 166 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: stick with us. We'll take care of you all summer 167 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: with the Patriots Training Camp Cast. 168 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: Hey, this is Deuce.
