The Patriots Training 2 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from 3 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: Patriots training Camp. Well, I do still watch the news. 4 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com 5 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: have you covered? What did I miss yesterday? Now here 6 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: to review today's practice? The writers of Patriots dot com. 7 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: All right, day four of Patriots training camps officially in 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: the books. As the players are now doing their wind 9 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 1: sprints over on the hill. This is Mike Douso joined 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: by Paul Parlo Patriots dot Com. We're here with the 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: camp cast. Catch you guys up on everything that happened today. 12 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: And Paul, it seems a little bit of a continuation 13 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: of the last two days. It felt like to me 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: this was the toughest day for the offense. They had 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: a couple of plays here and there, but overall, I 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: think the defense owned the day. The offense just couldn't 17 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: seem to find much of a stride or produce many 18 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: big play is, notable plays, plays that got the crowd 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: pumped up in a few days. It was a bit 20 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: of a struggle for them today. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. 21 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: I think again, the coverage was tight, you know, You're 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: starting to see a lot of the same kinds of 23 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: plays offensively, so you wonder if maybe the defense is 24 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: sort of, you know, subconsciously understanding what's going on and 25 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: what's happening. But I thought Malcolm Butler was pretty active today. 26 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: First time I've seen a lot of him in coverage. 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 1: He was with a group with Jalen Mills and Terrence 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: Mitchell as the three corners, and I just thought, again, 29 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: Mac Jones, Bailey z Appy the two quarterbacks with no 30 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer for the second straight day, they had a 31 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: hard time finding open targets and some of the throws 32 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: were late. There were a lot of scrambles, a lot 33 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: of off platform kind of stuff, and I think you're right, 34 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: the defense really controlled things, so I wasn't totally devoid 35 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: of good plays. Though I think maybe the play of 36 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: the day though, might have been actually from Bailey z Appy, 37 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, hitting Christian Wilkerson down the field. So we 38 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: talked about Brian Hoyer has been out the last couple 39 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: of days. It hasn't been great for the offense, but 40 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: it certainly has been an opportunity for Bailey Zappy to 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: come in here get a number of reps. You know, 42 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: he certainly had his up and down moments today as 43 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: a rookie. You'd expect that, but did make a couple 44 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: of throws and seems like he's you know, getting his 45 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: feet wet right out of the gate here. Yeah, a 46 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: lot of opportunity for him. Um, you know, a lot 47 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: of reps now. You know again you see a little 48 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: bit of what they saw, you know, in getting after him. 49 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: You know in the draft, there are periods where you know, 50 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: the ball comes he gets on the back foot, the 51 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: ball comes out with authority, decisiveness with his throws, and 52 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: his other periods that he's like, oh, there's a rookie. 53 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: There's a guy who doesn't have a lot of experience 54 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: in the league, so you expect a lot of that. 55 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: But I think the overwhelming takeaway from me, I'm going 56 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: to write about this a little bit later on today 57 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: for Zappy is just the incredible opportunity that he's getting 58 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: with all of these reps. A little of a spoiler alert, 59 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, a couple there are a couple of nice 60 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: catches though, too, got to give some credit, you know, 61 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: I thought you Kobe Myers had a nice contested catch 62 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: in the end zone. Continuing great, continuing a strong couple 63 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: of days as he's kind of bounced back on the 64 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: scene here in the last couple of days. But I 65 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: want to talk towards the end. We had a little sequence. 66 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: I thought that you know, something's up a little bit. 67 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: We have it down in the red zone here in 68 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: eleven on elevens, mac Jones was able to find Hunter 69 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: Henry on one of their better tds in the day, 70 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: Kyle Dugger and coverage. He's been picked on a little bit. 71 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: Come back. The next play Dugger picks off Mac probably 72 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: would have been a pick six, although Justin Herron did 73 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: put a very he ran about eighty yards with him 74 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: down the sideline. Ben Watson Circuit two thousand and five. 75 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: There if it's a play, though, Mike, that we talked 76 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: to him. You and I talked about this yesterday that 77 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: I don't think mac Jones has in his skill set 78 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: that I think he's getting some bad habits on the 79 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: practice field, and hopefully it's just one of these things 80 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: like why I could do it in the practice field 81 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: when he's scrambling around and he's looking to sort of 82 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: throw it back the other way. He does not have 83 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: that kind of arm strength, and this was as easy 84 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: a pick six as you're gonna get. You know, Kyle 85 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: Dugger jests completely undercutting the route as he sees Max 86 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: trying to throw it a little bit across the grain. 87 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: That led to push ups for the offense. This time, 88 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: they had another play or two after that, and they 89 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: went to the bread and butter that had worked so 90 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: well the day that they were over ten that a 91 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: little quick sprint out bang out in the flat. I 92 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: thought Myers initially had a step on Marcus Jones, but Jones, 93 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: with a great job or recovering, was able to get 94 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: over there and break up the play. You know, maybe 95 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: might have been a little bit early with the contact. 96 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: Coud to tell from this far away, but just to 97 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: see the defense sort of remember that easy little sprint 98 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: out touchdown they allowed a couple of days ago. They 99 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: made sure it wasn't easy this time. Yeah, the offense 100 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: might have squeaked a couple of plays out at the 101 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: end of the previous practices, but not today. The defense 102 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: finishes with a flourish. They look good. But of course, Paul, 103 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: the good news is this represents the end of the 104 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: non padded portion of training camp. So we're expecting on Monday, 105 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: we'll be back here be full pads, so start to 106 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: be some hitting. Maybe you can extrapolate a little bit 107 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: more from what's going on down in the practice fields. 108 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: But great crowd. If you have a chance, be sure 109 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: to get out here. Next week. They're scheduled to practice 110 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: Monday through Thursday, and then Friday night is scheduled to 111 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: be the in stadium season ticket holder and Foxborow resident practice, 112 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: So if you're able to get to that, always a 113 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: nice time inside Gillette Stadium as well. But otherwise, great 114 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: crowd today, and unfortunately they didn't quite get the offensive 115 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: fireworks they might have been hoping to see. As we're 116 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: watching Mac go off the field here to wrap up practice. 117 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,559 Speaker 1: So as always, Paul and I will be back after 118 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: each session just to catch you guys up. You don't 119 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: have a chance to listen to us blab on and 120 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: on the whole live show, you can get five minutes 121 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: quick here and find out exactly what happened to the practice. 122 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: So we will be back on Monday with a full 123 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: recap of the full padded practice.
