<v Speaker 1>Patriots training Camp. Well, I do still watch the news.

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>have you covered? What did I miss yesterday? Now here

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to review today's practice The writers of Patriots dot Com, Well, guys,

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>we did it. We made it through Patriots training camp

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>here at Jillette Stadium, with the final joint practice with

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the Carolina Panthers wrapping up today on Wednesday, which will

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>conclude open access here Achilette Stadium from Patriots training Camp.

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 1>But we are here to recap what happened in the

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>final day of joint practices. This is Mike doussou joined

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>by Paul Parillo, Evan Lazar Patriots dot Com. We've been

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>here for three weeks, guys. We watched plenty of football yesterday.

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 1>The Patriots really seem to have a great day, especially

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>defensively they carried to play today. Paul, it feels like

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>things kind of maybe regressed a little bit more towards

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the mean. Better day for the Panthers made things a

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit harder for the page treats offense. Yeah, and

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the Patriots were bad by any means today,

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>but I thought it was a little bit more even.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought there was some plays made on both sides.

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>It started really with the one on ones before they

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>even got into team. I thought the defensive backs on

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 1>both sides were getting their hands on a lot of

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the passes. There was some ficiness again, unfortunately, some guys

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>left practice early for the second day in a row.

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>But I thought overall, Carolina was much much more competitive

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>today than they were on Tuesday. Yeah, it looks you know,

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on Christian Wilkerson. He took a kind

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of it looked like a blindside hit and during drills

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>and did not return. I only saw him, unfortunately, on

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the ground, so we of course hoped that that he's

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>all right. A couple more guys were tossed again today,

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.479
<v Speaker 1>but they were able to rectify the situation and get

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>practice back on track without any further issues. Having one

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>guy for me that stood out today if Nelson Agilore

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.279
<v Speaker 1>had a beautiful catch, three guys around him another strong

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>day for him, Who in your book stood out today?

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna go Nelson at it beat me to it.

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought the first one was a nice ball from

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Mac and he's created some separation. In the second one,

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>like you said, there's three guys in the area and

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>he was able to come away with the football somehow.

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I think there's been a lot of speculation that Nelson

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Aglare might be a trade asset, somebody that they might

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>move because Taykwon Thornton has excelled it so far in

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>training camp, and I think that's really premature. I would

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>be careful about moving on from Aglare. I don't think

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>that the Patriots are in a position yet at wide

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>receiver where they have enough NFL talent that shipping out

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>an actual NFL receiver is in a spot. They're not

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>in that spot of the right. So Nelson Aglare is

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.959
<v Speaker 1>clearly an NFL receiver you can go out in games

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and in practices and make plays in the passing game,

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and I would just be wary of moving on from that,

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>especially with DeVante Parker's injury history, the fact that Tayklon

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Thornton is a rookie. I think Aglare is going to

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>be in the mix, and I love the fact that

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>they keep on throwing him slot fades and fade routes

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 1>from more condensed alignment so that he's not just stuck

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>on the boundary all the time. I think those are

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>good throws for Mac and I think that they create

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more separation that way. No, Paul not,

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I wan't to talk a little bit of the run game.

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Patriots offense continues to you know, not quite

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>look like it's all clicking on all centers in the

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>run game, and today it looked like Carolina had a

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.359
<v Speaker 1>better day in the run game as well. Of course,

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Christian McCaffrey plays a role in that he's a dynamic

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>NFL player, But overall, what you're feeling on the run game,

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 1>both sides of the ball coming out of this, uh yeah,

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just watching. There's some opportunity stuff still going on

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>in the field as we're as we're taping the podcast here,

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and I do I do agree the running game is

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>still a work in progress. I think that was the

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>phrase I used yesterday when I wrote about it, and

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Damian Harris had talked about it in similar tones.

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>After practice with very few exceptions, guys that they really

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>haven't been very many holes. You know, you see, there

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>are times when you know, maybe a little little toss,

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, looking for a crack on the edge where

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>they might you know, they might have had. I thought

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>they had a push on one top today to Damian Harris.

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>That probably would have been a four or five yard game,

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, So good solid production there. But for the

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>most part, I think that's still coming. And you did

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>see for the first time I think in camp I

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>thought you saw some signs that the Patriots were a

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>little vulnerable on some of the running plays today that

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Carolina ran, both with Deonta Foreman and obviously with Christian McCaffrey. Well,

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>these two teams aren't done yet. They will take the

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>field here Gillette Stadium seven pm on Friday night for

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots second preseason game. Should be something to watch.

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Fastiness of these two and it does sound like the

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Patriots starters are gonna get some run in that game.

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's gonna be a little bit more

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of the ones than what we saw. Certainly no ones

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>really last in the openers, so I think we're gonna

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>see some some mac Jones drives on Friday night. Well,

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>it was a productive two days of a practice. Maybe

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a few more fights than we would have liked, but

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>overall got a really good glimpse of what the Patriots

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>have been working on and how it's starting to come together.

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 1>Of course, that'll continue next week and to join practices

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>in Las Vegas against the Race and then the final

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>preseason game against the Raiders that Friday night as well.

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>So that'll do it for this week's campcast. We will

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>be back next week with a campcast for you from

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.760
