WEBVTT - Training Camp-Cast 8/20: Defense Punches Back, Two-Minute Drills, Recapping Joint Practices 

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Day two of joint practices between the Patriots and Eagles,

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and the defenses hit back a little bit. Let's break

0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:16.239
<v Speaker 1>it down. Welcome everybody to the Patriots Training Camp cast

0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>presented by New Balance and guys. We wrapped it up today.

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Fortunately that's the end of training camp for the most part.

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>We'll get a couple practices next week walk through probably

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>stuff not anything we can report on, but yes, today

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>active second joint practice with the Eagles.

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Got Jack with us.

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Here from the Porem post game show filling in for

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Polyp and I think today let's let's start with a

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 1>positive because came in saying it felt like the Patriots

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>defense didn't do a great job against the run yesterday.

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Didn't feel like they did a great job containing some

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>of those big plays. Today was a better story. Felt

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 1>like they came out today with that in mind. Not

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:49.879
<v Speaker 1>a lot of room for Saquon Barkley out there.

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, seemed like they bottled up Saquon better today, especially

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 3>on those interior runs that he hit them on yesterday.

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 4>And that's what you wanted to see.

0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 3>You wanted to see Milon Williams and Corey Dirten and

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 3>a job a farmer and those guys inside.

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 4>Beach is a little tighter and a little bit.

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 3>More buttoned up inside, So that was good to see.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 3>I actually thought that, you know, there were some times

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 3>where the coverage was pretty good down the field that

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 3>made Jalen Hurts hold the ball. Marcus Jones a couple

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 3>of interceptions as well, one really nice one and then

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 3>a pick six on another tip drill kind of interception.

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 3>So overall, I thought the Patriots both defenses, and we're

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 3>going to get to the Eagles defense in a second,

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 3>both defenses. This tends to happen in these joint practices.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 3>One day goes one way, the other day goes another.

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.479
<v Speaker 3>The defense watches the tape, they're feeling a little bit

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 3>down on themselves, and they come back out and they

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 3>punch back, And I thought, both defenses did that today.

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Jack, your first joint practice the summer, and what were

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>your impressions that start with the Patriots defense before we

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>move over to the offense.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, what I loved was it was the juice that

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 2>they had.

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 5>They had that edge, and you could tell that they

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 5>probably got it a little bit in meetings yesterday, right,

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 5>they had to be better, and they came out and

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 5>I love the edge they played with.

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Obviously a couple scraps that.

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 5>You know, we don't encourage, but we observed, you know, certainly, Yeah,

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 5>just scrabble pushing and shoving Noe Foles, but no one

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 5>doing anything yet. You saw a guy like Christian Barmore

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 5>come in and bring some heat, and I thought, that's

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 5>what I like from the Patriots defense is a response

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 5>that's definitely what you wanted to see, just culture wise.

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a little bit of personnell not notice that Craig

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Woodson did take part in team drills. Yeah, maybe he

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>got a little bit banged up. Reggie Gilliam on the

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>other side, he's had some rest days too. I think

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Crable's taking extra good care of our fullback. He doesn't

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>want to see really good because he's gonna have a

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of training. Rind, he's gonna have a little car crashes

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.399
<v Speaker 1>this year. Yeah, maybe trying to limit that those hits.

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>So let's flip over to the other side of the

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>ball with with Drake may and the offense where it

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>felt like the Eagles. Eagles defense came to play today

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of thought that they would come back

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>with something to prove after yesterday felt like Drake kind

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 1>of carved him up a little bit.

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, absolutely, yesterday.

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure you mentioned Jack that the Patriots defense hurt it.

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Vic Fangio must have watched that tape yesterday and was like,

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 3>absolutely not.

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 4>This is not acceptable.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 3>That's a really, really good Eagles defense, So getting them

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 3>two days in a row is probably going to be unlikely,

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 3>especially blocking Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis two days in

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 3>a row. So ninety specifically, who's Ordon Davis? Noticed him

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 3>a bunch. He was in the backfield a lot, He

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 3>was dent in pockets and stuffing runs, and he was

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 3>really active in this practice. So I thought the interior

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 3>pressure was felt a little bit more today. Maybe that

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 3>led to some of the aar and throws that we

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 3>saw from Drake May But I also thought Quinnon, Mitchell

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 3>and Riek Woollen bounced back a little bit too in

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 3>the team periods against the Patriots wide receivers. So just overall,

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 3>the Eagles stars kind of came back today and said, hey,

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, we got pushed around a little bit yesterday.

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 4>That's not going to happen again.

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Not without a couple of highlights though, And there was

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 1>one a j Brown catch in the end zone. That

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>was awesome. I mean that relationship continues to evolve. Not

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>quite as active as he was yesterday, Jack, but I

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>continue to see really good things out of him out

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>of the confidence that Drake May has to throw the

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>ball down the field to Romeo Dobbs. It seems like

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>even though Eagles punched back a little bit today, Patriot's

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>still making some progress.

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 5>We talked about it on PU But I mean, to

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 5>be in this position, have Drake May working with Aj

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 5>Brown and have a true star quarterback working with a

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 5>true star receiver.

0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what was it last time?

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 5>Probably Moss and Brain really last time I was a

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 5>child that when that happened.

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 2>So it's a beautiful site and I just like the

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>response as well.

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 5>To stay on the positive note from the offense there,

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 5>you throw the interception, which that's one that's football, you

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 5>know what I mean. It sucks where it's a sudden

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 5>change in a game where it's the same.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Thing, you're have another shot.

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:16.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm glad they got another shot at the end of

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 5>the practice there in that red zone, high red drill.

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 5>But it was nice to see them respond even though

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 5>they face the adversity with a third long and not

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 5>great plays in that period.

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 2>They scored a touchdown though, that's what matters.

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was nice Patriot play, as Paul likes to

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 3>call them. Smooth post to Romeo dobs And got him open,

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 3>hit him in stride, hit him on time, and that

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 3>was a nice little bounce back. It was like one

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 3>play that that first drive. It bounced off of three

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 3>guys and ends up in an Eagles.

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 4>Hey, it happens like those.

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Diving that catch and that was kind of, you know, unfortunate,

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 3>I would say, more than it was like a mistake

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:50.799
<v Speaker 3>or anything like that by anybody.

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 4>The one that he threw earlier in.

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 3>The practice though, the pick six that rikuol And had

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 3>in the red zone, he admitted it was late in

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 3>the red zone. And you can't be late in the

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 3>red zone as a quarter, especially throwing outside the numbers

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 3>in the flats that's gonna go the other way. So

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.600
<v Speaker 3>definitely some improvement needed in the red zone, I would say.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just to really draw out the picture of final

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>red zone period, each team got two shots at it.

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 4>Very first play for.

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>New England's first team offense, tipball interception. Like we said,

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the defense came out and Jalen Hurts had a good

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.359
<v Speaker 1>good day right down the field on them TD on

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Kilndel wildor there in the end zone. They did stop

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.359
<v Speaker 1>the two point conversion's first team offense for the Patriots

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 1>comes back out a little bit better, nice touchdown not

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>to Romeo Dobbs, and then defense coming up with a

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>nice second day in a row. The second team defense

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>comes up the pass break up there in the end

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.799
<v Speaker 1>zone to finish things up from Marcellus Dials.

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>So that's kind of how it went.

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Don't sell booty short, don't don't forget about it, booty

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 3>booty back shoulder fade from Tommy DeVito to wrap up practice.

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 3>So I guess if we're scoring it right. The Eagles

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 3>scored twice and the Patriots scored three times, so the

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 3>Patriots won again win the practice.

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's how we're well, I think, though, guys.

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>There's so much talking like who won the practice and

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.479
<v Speaker 1>this and that, like great work for the Patriots. There's

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>definitely not the feeling of panic we had two years

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>ago when they went out there in a joint practice

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>against Eagles and got pushed all around, which Drake May

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.359
<v Speaker 1>said he watched a little bit of yeah earlier this

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.679
<v Speaker 1>week and was I guess the word wouldn't be impressed.

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe impressed in a bad way, but it wasn't that.

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 1>It was a solid showing from the Patriots. They're going

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to get back on the field on Saturday night. We'll

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>see what it looks like in terms of starters, playing

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 1>and all that. But I think as a you know,

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>as Patriots fan, you're looking it's less than three weeks

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:30.359
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be walking into Seattle.

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 4>It's a huge challenge facing them.

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:32.919
<v Speaker 2>There's no time to lose.

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 5>Licking your chops and everyone does want a crown of winner,

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 5>I feel like in these joint practice right but the

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 5>reality is that's two contenders just going to battle.

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 5>A question I have for you guys, you know, putting

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 5>the host hat on, What's something you learned about this

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 5>Patriots team over the yesterday right now?

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.479
<v Speaker 4>He's a point guard, you know.

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I would just say, and Evan and I have talked

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot about this is how does Mike Vrabel in

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 1>his second year kind of recreate that that identity that

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 1>this team.

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 4>Had, which is just an aggressive, physical team.

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you talked about it, you felt that, and

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I think That's what came out to me over these

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>last two days. I've kind of been lukewarm on camp

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>so far. It's been there have been moments that have

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>been good, there have been moments that have been bad.

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it didn't feel like there's been an

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 1>overarching storyline to me. It all kind of came together

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>here in these last two days, and I see this

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>is a team that's gonna play physical, that's gonna play

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 1>with that same style. They're gonna be their own thing.

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be unique. But I like that personality they're

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>playing with.

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 3>I just go with the juxtaposition of what this looked

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 3>like two years ago against this exact same team, and

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 3>even deeper than that, AJ Brown and Millan Williams are

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 3>on the other sideline, and now the Patriots. Both those

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 3>guys are Patriots. The Patriots have stars too.

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, Drake May's a star, AJ Brown's a star,

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 3>Millon Williams is a star. I know Christian Gonzales didn't practice,

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 3>but he's also a star. And it felt so lopsided

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 3>two years ago. Not only what was going on on

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 3>the field was lopsided, but the star power was lopsided too.

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 3>In Philly's favor, and I give a lot of credit

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 3>to Mike Rabel, Elliott Wolf, Ryan Cowden. In two years,

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 3>they have gotten some real heavy hitters, some frontline players

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 3>on this roster that when you go up against a

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 3>team that has Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley and Jalen

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Carter and all these star players, you have your own

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 3>guys that can go toe to toe with them. So

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 3>it really shows just how far this roster has come

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 3>in just two years. Like it feels like that was

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 3>a lifetime ago, but it wasn't that long ago that

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 3>the Patriots were a four win team and the Eagles

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 3>were a super Bowl team. And now it looks like

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 3>they're even on a practice field, which is good to see.

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 5>So many teams go around and around the wheel. It's

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 5>nice to see a successful rebuild. Huah, it just got

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 5>right back. Yeah, well true, we'll see how it goes.

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we got to get in the regular season

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>two and it's coming fast. That's going to do it

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>for this year's camp cast, but tune into the Patriots

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.079
<v Speaker 1>pregame show and postgame show.

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Jack of course hosting that.

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>With myself and Paul Perillo, will be there six forty

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>five on Saturday night. We'll see how these two teams

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 1>stack up on the game field.
