WEBVTT - Training Camp-Cast 8/10: Joint Practice Prep, Doubs Shows Improvement, O-Line Competition 

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.360
<v Speaker 1>The Patriots are back on the practice fields after two

0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>days off, they get ready for joint practices with the

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Indianapolis Colts. Let's break it down.

0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Welcome everybody to the Patriots Training Camp cast presented by

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:20.319
<v Speaker 2>New Balance. And yes, we had a weekend off, we

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:22.960
<v Speaker 2>were back on the field today. Intensity dialed down a

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>little bit after a bunch of padded practices in a row.

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Paul would say, this was, as you said, walking off

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 2>the field, maybe putting things in place to have a

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 2>good practice tomorrow against the Indianapolis.

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what it looked like to me, was some

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 3>prep work for what they're going to see with the Colts.

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 3>That looked like the first offense and defense were working

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 3>separately against you know, some of the backup players. My

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 3>inference there would be that they were probably running against

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 3>Colts stuff on both sides. I thought the tempo was

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 3>a little slower as well, even when they did you know,

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 3>ones against ones. Later on, a lot of red zone

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 3>work with that, some two minute stuff, some situational work.

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 3>So all in all, you know, kind of uneventful, but

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, you got to have the you got across

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 3>these days off. It's coming together.

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I would say, most of practice was at best

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 4>three quarter speed, like they weren't going full speed, but

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 4>first scout team type of stuff. As Paul said, I

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 4>thought of really training camp and not only the practice tomorrow,

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 4>but a lot of these guys are obviously going to

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 4>play on Thursday night in the preseason opener too, so

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 4>you don't want them going and completely cold without knowing

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 4>at all what the Colts are going to run and

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 4>what they're going to do. So not a full game

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 4>prep like you will see in the regular season, but

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 4>they at least get a little bit of taste of

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 4>what Indianapolis is going to bring here tomorrow, so you know,

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 4>a couple of highlights. Carlton Davis being back was exciting.

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 4>It was good to see that, but for the most part,

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 4>it was more about participation attendance than what actually happened.

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 3>I was a little surprised to see Davis based on

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 3>what Mike Grabil said on Friday about not seeing him

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 3>till the end of next week. Maybe he meant more

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 3>in terms of, you know, the full full Carlton Davis

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 3>because he did little more than positional stuff today. Yeah.

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>No, Christian Barmore as well, that's the second practice, he's missed.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Charles Woods wasn't out there Kendo wldor taking his snap.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought he had a couple nice plays there down

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone. Also thought of Eli Reraredan gets

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>some chances. The two tight ends set down to the

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>reds out end were caught, some caught some passes there

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>from Drake. But again a lot of rotation going on

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>with these guys, so it's hard to like, you know,

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>really discern who's rising, who's falling, all that kind of stuff.

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>But it is obvious who's getting the chances With Drake Man,

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what's you know, most important. But Eli Reridan,

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>and we got to mention too, of course Hunter Henry

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.519
<v Speaker 1>signing a two year extension today reportedly, So rare it

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>In now in the mix. Maybe I think we'll probably

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of him over the next couple of days,

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, tomorrow, and then into the preseason.

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, I think it is. You know, we

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 3>keep talking about the cliche of you know, rere it

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 3>In is more of a pass catcher, you know, Arkin

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 3>is more of the blockers. So you're starting to see

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 3>now when it's two tight end looks and it's rared

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 3>In and Henry. It's probably spread, you know, maybe some

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 3>some some passing going on when Arkin's out. There are

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 3>a lot of first downs that we've seen in these

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 3>team periods have featured Tan or Arkin. Obviously you're looking

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 3>more to the run game, so probably looking to get

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 3>some of those trends bucked a little bit, figure out

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 3>some ways around it. But yeah, I think reard In

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 3>has made some slow but steady progress, if that's fair.

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I would say the same thing about Romeo Dobbs.

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 4>There's a little baby steps each day. It's not, you know,

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 4>Gangbusters quite yet, but I think that he's getting a

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.519
<v Speaker 4>little bit better and better each day. And I see

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 4>Drake May figuring him out a little bit more. You know,

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 4>he's more of a strong at the catch point, go

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 4>get the ball, put it on him type of player

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 4>than what they had was Tefon Diggs, who is more

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 4>of a route runner and separator. So just a little

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 4>bit of a transition there in that zerole. But I

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 4>see every day Dobbs kind of getting a little bit

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 4>more and more comfortable. I thought he had to highlight

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 4>a practice at the end over Christian Gonzalez in the

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 4>back of the end zone. That was a really nice catch,

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 4>maybe his best play at camp to date. And I

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 4>thought that he got behind Kendallvilledor, but the ball was

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 4>thrown a little bit inside. If that I had been

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 4>on his outside shoulder, I think that might have been

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 4>a deep ball too. So a little bit of flash

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 4>from Romeo Dobbs. I know I've been small sea concerned

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 4>about it, but I'm getting you know, it was like

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 4>twelve size pomp. Maybe now it's like ten. You know,

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 4>you get a little bit smaller each day, which is

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 4>what you want to say.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>It helps when you make a catch over Christian Gonzalez,

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>but again, you know, just showing up. And it's a

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>good sign Paul too, because he missed a couple of days.

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>We don't know exactly what Michael Vverbel said. It was

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a good thing, personal thing that he was not out there.

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>A little worried briefly that he was maybe hurt, but

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 1>seemed like he picked right back up and is building

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>some momentum.

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I would agree with Evan's assessment. I thought

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 3>he was he was open at times and then he

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 3>made plays that you show that that kind of physicality

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 3>that he has at the catch point and the one

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 3>in the end zone. I was not quite as impressed,

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 3>but almost so with a little two minute work, very

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 3>end of practice, catches a little sideline route on you know,

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 3>back shoulder kind of a route with with Gonzalez again,

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, tightly in coverage. You know, Christian's been pretty

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 3>physical in his coverage. That's doobs his game. He's able

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 3>to sort of show his strong hands on those soul

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 3>I would agree I arrow up on Dobbs.

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I know it wasn't full speed too, but it seemed

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>like they were getting a j brown away from Gonzales

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit today and he was having on maybe

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more success, especially you know on the

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>crossers and stuff. But he continues to show up overall.

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 1>I think we're watching for, you know, is Barmore probably

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 1>not going to be back out there tomorrow. Will Campbell

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 1>was back out there today, so that's a good sign

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 1>for his participation tomorrow. I'll just say right now, you know,

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>him and Lomu two pieces I'm really excited to see tomorrow.

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, not just the one on one stuff, but

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the team stuff as well. How do they hold up

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.280
<v Speaker 1>against you know, real NFL competition.

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think that Lomu right now is in a

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 4>little bit of a competition with Marcus Bryant.

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 3>I really do.

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 4>And I know that people are going to say, oh,

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 4>he's a first round pick versus a seventh round pick,

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 4>it shouldn't be a competition, but that's where we're at

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.799
<v Speaker 4>and Marcus Bryant today, it's kind of a left tackle

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 4>day for Caleb Lomu. So Marcus Bryant taking a lot

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 4>of those Morgan Moses snaps at right tackle, and Moses was,

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, load managing or whatever we want to call it.

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see.

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 4>I thought in one on ones Lomu looked a lot better.

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.280
<v Speaker 4>He's three and oh today, but he was at left,

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 4>which we know he's comfortable at left. So the question

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 4>is is, you know, how does his development on the

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 4>right side catch up to where he's at on the

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 4>left side. But Marcus Bryant continues to be in the

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 4>mix for that swing tackle job, so it'll be interesting

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 4>to see how that plays out.

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, Well that's going to do it for

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>this Monday, Big Day Tomorrow, joint practice against the Indianapolis Colts.

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Gates open at nine pint fifteen. Here we'll be live

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>on the radio nine forty five to take you into

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that practice. If you're not able to make it down here,

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>but if you are, get your butt down here. It's

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.160
<v Speaker 1>a great take going U against the Indiapolis Colts. The

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 1>players are excited finally hit somebody else.
