1 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training 2 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from 3 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: Patriots Training Camp. Well, I do still watch the news. 4 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com 5 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: have you covered what I miss yesterday? Now here to 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: review today's practice the writers of Patriots dot com. All right, 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: welcome into another edition of the Patriots Training Camp Cast. 8 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: This is Mike Dousseau joined by Evan Lazar from Patriots 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: dot Com, and we are fresh off the field of 10 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: the first joint practice between the Patriots and the Raiders. Evan, 11 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: right off the top, let's just start with the good 12 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: vibes of the reunion. There were so many Patriots players. 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: There's all of a sudden, you know, Julian Edelman pops up. 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: Mike Lombardi. You're just seeing all these kind of reunions 15 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: happening between former players. So at the beginning of practice, 16 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: it was a nice happy vibe. Everyone catching up. Yeah, exactly, 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: And he saw Julian Edelman was several Patriots players is 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: greeting them big hugs all around. I tweeted out before 19 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: a practice started at Edelman, was there a little celeb 20 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: shout out for Julian Edelman and got a lot of 21 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: questions about whether or not he was in pads for 22 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: the practice. Is absolutely not. He did not participate in 23 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: the practice, but I saw that he was did something 24 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: with our Patriots dot com social team that's up on 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: our channel, so you can check out maybe Edelman's take 26 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: of practice today or something like that, or maybe just 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: a quick load of Patriots fans. Yeah. Yeah, he had 28 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of fun with it, and uh yeah, 29 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: I think, like I said, I think the Patriots might 30 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: might have been able to use him today Before we 31 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: get into the practice, those same attendance as yesterday. Uh not, 32 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: no real surprises really, Ronnie Perkins, Harvey Longy, Taekwon Thornton, 33 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: as well as Christian Wilkerson. We're not present and not participating. Otherwise, 34 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: it seemed like Isaiah Wind didn't put the red jersey 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: back on, so he is progressing as well. Uh. We 36 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: got into practice, and we should have a quick disclaimer 37 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: that the media tent here in Vegas. As much as 38 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick praise this, you know, I think he called 39 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: the Tataj Mahal today, for the media, it was a 40 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: little bit more difficult. We were stationed on one sideline 41 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: of three fields. So we did get an up close 42 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: look at a lot of Raiders stuff, especially early on, 43 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: which was which was kind of cool. But for the Patriots, 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: a lot of things happening on that middle and far 45 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: field that that we weren't quite able to get. So, 46 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, no one on ones in terms of the 47 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: defensive line and blockers and all that kind of thing. 48 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: So you know, these are our thoughts of the practice, 49 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: but we were with the media other media, so I 50 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: think everybody kind of had a similar consensus, and and 51 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: that was I mean, really kind of more of the same. 52 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: For the Patriots offense, it was really you know, a 53 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: struggle in team periods, and you know, they did bounce 54 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: back at the end. However, I just it matches what 55 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: we've seen. It's it's in each kind of team drill 56 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: period they make a player two, but then there's a 57 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: lot of incompletes, there's a lot of running plays into traffic, 58 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: and it just again, it just doesn't seem like they've 59 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: established a rhythm and practice this summer at any point 60 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: where they've you know, really strung some play together. But 61 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: I will with one caveat maybe maybe the last series 62 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: that maybe offiction, hope, But you know, otherwise though, kind 63 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: of what we've seen all summer. Yeah, we can get 64 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: to that last two minute joke because that's sort of 65 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: the saving grace of this entire practice for the Patriots, 66 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,119 Speaker 1: because we shouldn't have sugarcoated. This was not a good 67 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: Patriots practice. The Raiders dominated almost in every phase until 68 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: the very final sequence of practice. Besides maybe the Patriots 69 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: defront against the Raiders O line, it seemed like the 70 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: Patriots defensive front held its own for most of the practice, 71 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: but other than that, it was all Raiders. And I 72 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: think with the Patriots offense you were alluding to it 73 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: just now, what is their identity? What is it that 74 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: they're good at right now that they can say, if 75 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: all else fails, we can hang our hat on this 76 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: one thing, and we can do this one thing. And 77 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: at the moment, I don't know what that is. I 78 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: think over the last couple of years, for example, eighteen nineteen, 79 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: the last couple years with Brady, it was one personnel 80 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: fullback in the backfield, we're gonna run the ball, We're 81 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: gonna incorporate play action, and they had that as something 82 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: that was consistent offense for them in a consistent way 83 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: to move the football. I think even last year at 84 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: times that was their core identity. Now it doesn't feel 85 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: like they have anything that they're consistently good enough at 86 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: that they can say this is what we do. This 87 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: is Patriot offense. And I would love to ask. We 88 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: talked to Mac Jones tomorrow, so maybe I'll try to 89 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: phrase this question properly and see if we can get 90 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: an answer from Mac. What is the identity of this offense? 91 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: Right now? What is Patriots offense in twenty twenty two? 92 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: Because they've dipped their toes in the Shanahan stuff, they 93 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: dipped their toes a little bit in some of more 94 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: spread style elements, or they have Mac and the gun, 95 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: and none of it has really consistently stuck. And that's 96 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: what I'm waiting for, is just one of these practices, 97 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: and we're there student to close the doors on us 98 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: even after this week, right so, I don't know if 99 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: we'll ever actually see it in until it happens in 100 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: a game, But what is the Patriots offense in twenty 101 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: twenty two? I still think that that's a mystery right now. Well, 102 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: we'll leave the last period for after this because I 103 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: want to finish on a high note. Um, But I 104 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: now at this point, and you tweeted about it, just 105 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: a chance to see Davante Adams and Hunter Renfro up front, 106 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: up close. They are phenomenal. The number of downfield passes. 107 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I'd have to go through and chart all 108 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 1: my notes exactly, but I mean I have, like looking 109 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: right now, three catches us right off the top. Four 110 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: even Um. You know, for for Adams, he was all 111 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: over the place. Started in one on one drills where 112 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: you know, I he was running up the sideline with 113 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: Jayala Mills. Look like Jayala Mills had him pinned and 114 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: pretty good coverage right hit to hip and then all 115 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Davanta Adams just turned it on, burned 116 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: by him. Easy completion downfield. Hunter Renfro is just money 117 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: in the bank. You think about. We see a lot 118 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: of Patriots practices where they're checked out, you know, they 119 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: just right down to the middle, the little guy that 120 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: just scorts out the running back, scorts out of backfield 121 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: turn That's what Hunter Renfro was for them. Went when 122 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: in doubt, he just threw it a Hunter Renfro. He 123 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: catches it every time in the middle. So you know, 124 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: those two players certainly gave the Patriots. It's I think 125 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: the biggest challenge they've had this summer as far as 126 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: receiving talent. Absolutely has vibes of Welker and Moss right 127 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: where it's like Adams over the top and Welker underneath 128 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: their Renfro underneath in this case. And I'm not saying 129 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: they're going to be as good as the O seven 130 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,239 Speaker 1: Patriots by any means, but that's sort of the look 131 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: of what I think Josh McDaniels is building. And the 132 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: Raiders didn't even have Darren Waller out there today. He's 133 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: injured and wasn't at practice, so they still have another 134 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: weapon that they didn't have out there on Tuesday. So 135 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that you see. You got 136 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: to tip your cap to the Raiders that they have 137 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: a good team. They have a lot of talent, especially 138 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. Derek Carr is 139 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: not the best quarterback in the league, but he's more 140 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: than capable of distributing the football to guys that are open, 141 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: like Davante Adams was for pretty much the entire practice. 142 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: And I wanted to get into this with you two, Mike, 143 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: because we've been talking about this idea for I don't know, 144 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: maybe a week now, about game planning and the fact 145 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: that the Patriots are not game planning the Las Vegas 146 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: Raiders like they're going to game plan them come December. 147 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying this to make excuses or to 148 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: sugarcoat things about what we saw out there today, but 149 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: I do think that context is really really important, especially 150 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: with the Patriots defense. I still go back to the 151 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: identity thing with the Patriots offense, and I'm not entirely 152 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: sure that a game plan is going to fix all 153 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: of those problems that ail the offense at the moment. 154 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: But defensively, I think they have enough talent and we 155 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: saw it at the two minute drill at the end 156 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: that we keep on teasing, they have enough talent on 157 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: that side of the ball that I think Bill Belichick, Rodmeo, 158 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,119 Speaker 1: and Steve can put together a game plan to hold 159 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: some of these high powered offenses at least somewhat in check. 160 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: And I wonder, and we talked to Devin mccordy about this, 161 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: Adrian Phillips about it after practice, and they're like, no, 162 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: this is just play, this is roll the ball out. 163 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: It's our ten basic concepts, whereas their ten basic concepts. 164 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: It's fundamentals, it's basics. It's essentially a collection of eleven 165 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: individual one on ones, right, it's not actually game plan football. 166 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: So when the Patriots play the Raiders in December and 167 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: we're back out here in Las Vegas, they're gonna have 168 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 1: a game plan for Davante Adams, and they're not gonna 169 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: say to Jalen Mills and Jonathan Jones, you got seventeen, 170 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: like go get him, right, like good luck? Right. They're 171 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: gonna have safeties over the top, they're gonna have bracket calls, 172 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna have different looks thrown at Davante Adams off press, 173 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, all those types of things. And today it's 174 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: basically just one on one mano Imano, like, good luck 175 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: to you out there against seventeen. And he's just an 176 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: all world player and that's not gonna go well for 177 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: pretty much any cornerback. I think maybe like Prime Stefani 178 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: Gilmour could take him on an island in a joint practice, 179 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: but other than that, it's it's really not easy matchup 180 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: for anybody at any level. No, and that's I mean, 181 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: I mean, even with the game plan though, you still 182 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: got problems. If you're gonna double him down the field, 183 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna still have to deal with Renfrom and you're 184 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: still gonna have to deal with Waller and talk about 185 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: their their running games. So you know, that's what they're 186 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: telling us right now that you know, this is where 187 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: we're just working on fundamentals. So that's all fine. But 188 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: I've watched enough of these training camps now to know 189 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: that what I've seen this summer just hasn't quite clicked yet. 190 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: We'll see if it does. So let's you know, but 191 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: let's get into the final period. Because they you know, 192 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: at the end, did some eleven on eleven work, They 193 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: did some red zone stuff, they did some then they 194 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: did some full field stuff where they put up on 195 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: the clock twenty to twenty four for the for the offense, 196 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: they've got to go down with about like a minute 197 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: twenty left, they've got to go down and score. To 198 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: that point, it had been pretty rough. But then the 199 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: defense I think started started it off with you know, 200 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: came down towards the end, they had it, you know, 201 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: a near pick and incomplete. I I wasn't sure. I 202 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: think you said it was Jude on then with back 203 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: to back kind of sacks at the end to close 204 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: it out. I thought one of them was ouch, but 205 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: again it was hard to tell. But all of a sudden, 206 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, at the end they clicked in on defense 207 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: and the offense would soon fall a sweep, but they 208 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: were able to get some plays and get off the 209 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: field there. So definitely, at least, you know, start with 210 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: the defense. They then ended with a high none and 211 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: just one more point to make. I think the run 212 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: defense was okay today. You know, some of the some 213 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: of the runs look similar to what the Patriots were 214 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: look and where it's you're just running into a crowd, 215 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: and you know, would he scored it out. Probably not, 216 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: but you know it's hard to tell for sure without 217 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: without any tackling at all. But but that was a 218 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: good sequence for the defense. Jonathan Jones, I know popped 219 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: up earlier. You know, I did have a pass defense 220 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: on Davante Adams, which was a nice play for him. 221 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: So to start with the defense a nice little end 222 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, And I think what we've seen consistently 223 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: all summer is at the defensive front, especially that third 224 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: down or two minute pass rush package with Judeon and 225 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: bar Moore, josh Ucha on the other edge opposite of 226 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: jude On, maybe a Dietrich Wise as the other interior guy. 227 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: That group has been able to get after quarterbacks. Whether 228 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: it's the Patriots quarterbacks, or it's these joint practices against 229 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield or today against Derek Carr, they've been able 230 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: to pressure quarterbacks with that front and control the line 231 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: of scrimmage at times. And I think that that's really 232 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: where this defense's strength is going to have to be, 233 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: and they'll be able to be multiple and mix and 234 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: match some of their blitz package in there as well, 235 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: and be able to get after some quarterbacks. Judeon he 236 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: drew a hold. I think ja was the one that 237 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: maybe got to Car eventually, but I think it was 238 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: jude On that drew a hold on that play on 239 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: the tight end. Then he comes back on the next 240 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: play they ran a kind of like a zero look 241 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: and bluffed it and then Judon got another sack of 242 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: Derek Carr to end that drive. So a really good 243 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: sign that Judeon back to back play is basically wrecked 244 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: to drive single handedly for against the Raiders. And then 245 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned the pass break up to Jonathan Jones. We 246 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: talked to Phillips, like I mentioned earlier, after practice, he 247 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: said he actually dropped an interception, that he jumped a 248 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: route and dropped the pick. It was pretty hard on 249 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: himself for dropping the interception, but the point is as 250 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: he was in position to make a big play for 251 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: the defense and potentially turned the tide there on the Raiders. 252 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: Even more so, that drive was the best sequence of 253 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,239 Speaker 1: the practice for the Patriots, and that pass rush package 254 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: and that kind of third down look that the Patriots 255 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: can give you defensively has been really, really good, I 256 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: would say throughout both joint practice sessions and obviously against 257 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: the Panthers in the preseason game when we did see 258 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: it a little bit there last Friday night. That's been 259 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: the most consistent thing the Patriots have going right now. Yeah, 260 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: you mentioned that, you know one thing that's kind of 261 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: starting a pop for me, But it seems like Christian 262 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: Bamber were getting a little bit of look with the 263 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: base defense up top at the right defensive end position 264 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: that we saw a lot of teacher Kwise Henry Anderson. 265 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: So I think that's you know, good sign certainly for 266 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: both of us who want to see him become a 267 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: three down player. Let's set the stage though for the 268 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: last offensive possession. Um, you know, but the previous two 269 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: I've got you know, they had six reps in the 270 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: previous two eleven on elevens. I had the first one, 271 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: nice nice touchdown passed to Davante Parker. Um. But that 272 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: was the only completion they had in the initial red 273 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: zone series. The second one I had, you know, one 274 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: one to Agalore. That was it. Other that three more incompletions, 275 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: uh and it looked like maybe two kind of runs. 276 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: So set in the stage you're going into this final 277 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: that you're on the clock. It's you know, Pressuron not 278 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: really expecting much. I'm gonna I'm gonna do my rudimentary 279 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: just kind of run down of how it went because 280 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: it was it was pretty surprising. First one, nothing crazy, 281 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: just seemed like a little five yard checked down and 282 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: believed to Harris. Second one I didn't get a good 283 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: look at, but I know it was incomplete. Then they 284 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: then they started hitting Myers, uh tie Montgomery. They got 285 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: a real nice throw I thought to Davante Parker again 286 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: which was right along the sidelines, a little toe tap 287 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: and out for a first down. Um. The next completion 288 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: was to John H. Smith. I thought it was a touchdown. 289 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: I didn't know. I don't know. They marked it down 290 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: on the one yard line, but it didn't matter. They 291 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: came back in the next one and Mac found Kendrick 292 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: Bourne in the back of the end zone. Big spike 293 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: from him. We know he's been going through some some 294 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: you know things right now, trying to improve his playing time, 295 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: and you know, with sitting out the game last week, 296 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: so you know, just like that, it was a real 297 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: nice finish. It was, I mean, really one of maybe 298 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: the best possessions I've seen all summer in terms of 299 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: just sheer volume of completions and nice plays and you know, 300 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: nice throws by Mac and good catches. So I guess 301 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: we're the point we're at right now after kind of 302 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: being depressed for most of the practice, was Hey, they 303 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: finished off strong. Maybe this is something that they can 304 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: build off of. I still think, and look, you can't 305 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: play in the two minute hurry up for for six minutes, right, 306 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: you can't do it all the time. But when they 307 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: spread the field and they put their best skill players 308 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: out there and they just kind of let Max sling 309 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 1: it Yeah, it really feels like that's the best that 310 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: they've looked all summer when they give him those opportunities. 311 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: You mentioned the throw to Myers, which was a third 312 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: down play they had to move the chains, and then 313 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: the one to Parker. Those two really stood out to 314 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: me the most because they were timing routes right. It's 315 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: a speed out to Myers and it was like a 316 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: deep out to Parker and he hit the back foot, 317 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: the ball was out on time, the receiver was where 318 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: he's supposed to be, and it was a complete and 319 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: we moved the chains. Those are the types of plays 320 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: that I feel like we haven't seen quite enough of, 321 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: where the timing, the rhythm, the execution, everybody's on the 322 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: same page, the blocking holds up and it all looks 323 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: the way it should. I think a lot of the 324 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: offense that we've seen it's kind of like that Nelson 325 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: Agloor play we keep on going back to on Friday 326 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: Night against Carolina, where it's one big play down the 327 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: field of races a bunch of other things, or DeVante 328 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: Parker goes up and wins a jump ball on one 329 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: against a defender. I'm not necessarily sure that is the 330 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: most consistent or efficient way to move to football when 331 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: you get into these plays or these sequences where they're 332 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: hitting Myers on time and rhythm, they're hitting Parker on 333 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: time and rhythm, and even the touchdown to Bourne that 334 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: was on time and in rhythm as well. So I 335 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: think that those are the types of plays that you're 336 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: hoping you see more of from the Patriots offense. Well, 337 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: it's hard to believe, but we're only gonna get to 338 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: watch one more practice this summer, so I don't want 339 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: to make it up to be the climax of the summer, 340 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: but you know, certainly the stage has been set based 341 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: on what happened today. I'm sure there are going to 342 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: be plenty of rite ups today focusing heavily on the 343 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: struggles of the Patriots offense. So we'll see how they 344 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: react tomorrow. But it's it's again, it's hard to believe. 345 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: Summer is almost over. We're not going to get to 346 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: watch another practice after tomorrow until next summer, and then 347 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: the climax, of course of the preseason will be on 348 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: Friday night here against these Raiders. So we will be 349 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: back tomorrow with the final camp cast to wrap everything 350 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: up for you. This was a thorough one. We really 351 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: dove into it, so hopefully we can provide some light 352 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: on it out here in Vegas of what's been going on. 353 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: We'll see how things develop, and we'll catch you next 354 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: time on the campcast.
