WEBVTT - Training Camp-Cast 8/1: Pads come on, Physicality ramps up, Day 5 takeaways

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:08.479
<v Speaker 1>This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training

0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Camp Cast is your source for all the news from

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Patriots training Camp. Well, I do still watch the news.

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:18.960
<v Speaker 1>have you covered? What did I miss yesterday? Now here

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>to review today's practice? The writers of Patriots dot com

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, August first, and the pads came on today

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>on Monday. This is might do so, joined by Paul Pirillo,

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Evan Lazar Patriots dot com. We're here to get you

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>caught up on everything that happened today at Patriots practice.

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>And guys, the pads came on. We saw some physicality

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>amp up um, but a little bit films was felt

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to me a little bit like the pace was back.

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Start with you, Paul, you know what stood out to

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.559
<v Speaker 1>you today? Just generally, Yeah, I agree. It was a

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a slow you know, uh, you know,

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>ramp up again after they had a day off on Sunday.

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>But there was I thought some some physicality with the receivers,

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>in the in the defensive backs that you hadn't seen

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>at all because of you know, for obvious reasons, without

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the pads on. I thought the one matchup in particular

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>that kept coming up to me was Malcolm Butler and

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>DeVante Parker. I thought those two guys when at each

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>other pretty good. I thought Parker made some big plays

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>over him, but rather than get down on him, I

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>thought Butler responded with a couple of nice plays. Later

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>on one when they got down in the red zone,

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>it looked like he came away with a nice breakup

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>down there. So it was a little back and forth

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>with those guys. I know, Evan, you watched a little

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>bit more of the of the big guys up front

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>as you guys you probably don't know yet. I really

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>don't have any interest in that, so I'm going to

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>leave that all to you. Evan. You were locked in

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>on the defensive offensive line. They're doing some kind of

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>combo blocking drills, some one on ones. What stood out

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to you down there in those matchups today? Yeah, first

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>day it pads. You gotta watch the big guys, right,

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's what we're all like, you say, so,

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of seeing the trenches. I think the number one

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>thing that stood out to me today was Christian Barmore

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>basically beating every single person that lined up across from him. Consistently,

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and obviously this is coming off his rookie season. It

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>just continues to be the same story with him, where

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>he is an absolute disrupt or, whether it's against the run,

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>against the past. A couple of welcome to the NFL

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>moments for a few Patriots rookies and one on ones

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:11.119
<v Speaker 1>against Christian Barmer, Cole Strange, Cody Russy learned the hard

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>way what it's like to go up against number ninety.

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at the whole picture here for

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots defense, I would say Barmore is the one

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>guy that if he can elevate his game to a

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Pro Bowl, all Pro type of player, it changes how

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be dynamic, playmaking wise for the entire defense.

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>So also to it, a few guys come off pup today,

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>which a good sign. Jonathan Jones was supposed to call

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>him Julie's Peppers, not quite Jabrill Peppers, and finally Miles Bryant.

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>So three guys coming off seemed like they were kind

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of getting involved a little bit. Always good to get

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.959
<v Speaker 1>those guys off. Still, James White, I think, is the

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>only one remaining on the pup list. NFI list remains

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Jason Hines and Andrew Stubert A couple. I mean, Paul,

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned the big play. I thought that was the

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>play of the day, the deep pass to Parker. Parker

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>shook loose and got and got free. Overall, though, doesn't

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>really feel like I think we're all hoping for a

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>huge bounce back day today. Seems like the offense kind

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 1>of working through some things still and quite have the

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't feel like it they alli sudden hit a new

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>gear today. Yeah, a couple things, I would say. The

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>first one from that big play that you were talking about,

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the play of the day. It's the first time I

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>saw DeVante Parker really get open in this camp. And

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>then that was something that that opened my eyes, like okay,

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>here we go. No, you know, I get that he

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>has the you know, the strong hands and the ability

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to make contested catches. We know that he has that,

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>but now that's something that was a little bit different today.

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>He got a step down the sideline and beat Butler

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty good on that deep ball. So that was good,

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>and I agree with you. I thought there was some

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>periods of offensive success, but not anything sustained. Again, I

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>think it's still a work in progress. Nice to see

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>them more in the middle of the field, so you

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>could sprinkle in some of that downfield stuff not all

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>condensed into the red zone. I sensed a little bit

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>more frustration from Mac. You made the point during practice

0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>when we were watching Mike and we make a lot

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>of those witty comments back and forth to each other

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>about how you didn't see as much of the tennis

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>guy from Mac at this time around. You know, there

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>was some reports he was pretty pretty upset with him.

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Weren't just reports. We saw it when him walking off

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the field on Saturday after throwing that pick to Kyle Dugger.

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Didn't really see a lot of that visible frustration. Today.

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>You could see him a little bit with the head

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>down at times, but bouncing back, continuing to fight. Parker

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>talked about that ability to sort of turn the page

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>immediately being important After the Mac and Row, it just

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 1>it feels a little more mature. I'm sure he's frustrated,

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>but he's just not being demonsibly showing it. And I think,

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:37.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, guys kind of feed off that energy, so

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a at least a good sign. It

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been great. Terrence Mitchell coming up with a nice

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>interception Evan for you what else you know? Just overall

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>stood out in terms of the team periods. Well, I

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>thought to talk about Mac a little bit. When they

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 1>spread it out and they went shotgun, he hit Parker

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>down the sideline for forty fifty yard go ball there

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 1>when they were doing the stuff from under center. A

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of the stuff that they're doing is I think

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit new for him, honestly, and that might

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>be some of the tweaks that they're making to the

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>scheme paying dividends there where he went over after he

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 1>threw the pick, Terrence Mitchell went over to Matt Patricia.

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 1>They had a conversation about what he saw, what Patricia saw,

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and some of the concepts, especially from under center, seem

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit like a work in progress mentally for

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Mac Jones right now. Whereas when they spread it out

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>and you see Alabama Mac right spread the field three

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver and kind of let him go, he looked

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 1>comfortable pretty much again the entire practice, especially on that

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>throw to Parker, which I thought was probably his best

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>throw training camp so far, especially in eleven on elevens

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>for sure. And I will just real quick one last

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>thing I thought Bailey Zappi threw the ball really well today.

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's been a little inconsistent with his accuracy,

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>but today I thought he had longer stretches of positive play.

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Dropped one in and it was just a one on

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>one drill. It wasn't even a seven on seven, but

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>perfect throw to Taekwon Thorwton down the sideline, over the

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>outside shoulder on a deep ball. It was pretty good

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>coverage in still able to fit it in there. I

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>thought he was more consistently accurate today than at any

0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>point in camp. Unfortunately I wrote about him on Saturday

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>soufesn't really matter, of course, That's always how it works

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>out right, It's all about me, you know. That One

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>final thing to mention too. You know we're just coming

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.799
<v Speaker 1>out to practice. We were Bailey, Sorry, Bailey, Jake Bailey

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to stick with the Bailey's signing contract extension for a

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>few years. So that'll help the Patriots cap space overall

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. We will be back tomorrow. Pads staying on.

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.919
<v Speaker 1>Matt Patricia did mention before practice that the intensity was

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 1>ratchet up as much. You think the pads are coming

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>on and they're just gonna go for it. I think

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>that there is a little bit of easing into it.

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure tomorrow we'll get even more intense, and of

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 1>course we will be back to brief you guys on

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 1>exactly what went down. So that will do it for

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 1>us for today and we'll see you tomorrow after the

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>next practice. Thank you for downloading this podcast, Subscribe on Apple,
