1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training 2 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: Patriots training Camp. Well, I do still watch the news. 4 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: have you covered? What did I miss yesterday? Now here 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: to review today's practice The writers of Patriots dot Com, Well, guys, 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: we did it. We made it through Patriots training camp 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: here at Jillette Stadium, with the final joint practice with 9 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers wrapping up today on Wednesday, which will 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: conclude open access here Achilette Stadium from Patriots training Camp. 11 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: But we are here to recap what happened in the 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: final day of joint practices. This is Mike doussou joined 13 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: by Paul Parillo, Evan Lazar Patriots dot Com. We've been 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: here for three weeks, guys. We watched plenty of football yesterday. 15 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: The Patriots really seem to have a great day, especially 16 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: defensively they carried to play today. Paul, it feels like 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: things kind of maybe regressed a little bit more towards 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: the mean. Better day for the Panthers made things a 19 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: little bit harder for the page treats offense. Yeah, and 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: I don't think the Patriots were bad by any means today, 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: but I thought it was a little bit more even. 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: I thought there was some plays made on both sides. 23 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: It started really with the one on ones before they 24 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: even got into team. I thought the defensive backs on 25 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: both sides were getting their hands on a lot of 26 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: the passes. There was some ficiness again, unfortunately, some guys 27 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: left practice early for the second day in a row. 28 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: But I thought overall, Carolina was much much more competitive 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: today than they were on Tuesday. Yeah, it looks you know, 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: keep an eye on Christian Wilkerson. He took a kind 31 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: of it looked like a blindside hit and during drills 32 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: and did not return. I only saw him, unfortunately, on 33 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: the ground, so we of course hoped that that he's 34 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: all right. A couple more guys were tossed again today, 35 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: but they were able to rectify the situation and get 36 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: practice back on track without any further issues. Having one 37 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: guy for me that stood out today if Nelson Agilore 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,279 Speaker 1: had a beautiful catch, three guys around him another strong 39 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: day for him, Who in your book stood out today? 40 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: I was gonna go Nelson at it beat me to it. 41 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: I thought the first one was a nice ball from 42 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: Mac and he's created some separation. In the second one, 43 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: like you said, there's three guys in the area and 44 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: he was able to come away with the football somehow. 45 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: I think there's been a lot of speculation that Nelson 46 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: Aglare might be a trade asset, somebody that they might 47 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: move because Taykwon Thornton has excelled it so far in 48 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: training camp, and I think that's really premature. I would 49 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: be careful about moving on from Aglare. I don't think 50 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: that the Patriots are in a position yet at wide 51 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: receiver where they have enough NFL talent that shipping out 52 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: an actual NFL receiver is in a spot. They're not 53 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: in that spot of the right. So Nelson Aglare is 54 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: clearly an NFL receiver you can go out in games 55 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: and in practices and make plays in the passing game, 56 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: and I would just be wary of moving on from that, 57 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: especially with DeVante Parker's injury history, the fact that Tayklon 58 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: Thornton is a rookie. I think Aglare is going to 59 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: be in the mix, and I love the fact that 60 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: they keep on throwing him slot fades and fade routes 61 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: from more condensed alignment so that he's not just stuck 62 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: on the boundary all the time. I think those are 63 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: good throws for Mac and I think that they create 64 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: a little bit more separation that way. No, Paul not, 65 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: I wan't to talk a little bit of the run game. 66 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: I mean, Patriots offense continues to you know, not quite 67 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: look like it's all clicking on all centers in the 68 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: run game, and today it looked like Carolina had a 69 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: better day in the run game as well. Of course, 70 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey plays a role in that he's a dynamic 71 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: NFL player, But overall, what you're feeling on the run game, 72 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball coming out of this, uh yeah, 73 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: I'm just watching. There's some opportunity stuff still going on 74 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: in the field as we're as we're taping the podcast here, 75 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: and I do I do agree the running game is 76 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: still a work in progress. I think that was the 77 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: phrase I used yesterday when I wrote about it, and 78 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: I think Damian Harris had talked about it in similar tones. 79 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: After practice with very few exceptions, guys that they really 80 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: haven't been very many holes. You know, you see, there 81 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: are times when you know, maybe a little little toss, 82 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, looking for a crack on the edge where 83 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: they might you know, they might have had. I thought 84 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: they had a push on one top today to Damian Harris. 85 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: That probably would have been a four or five yard game, 86 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: you know, So good solid production there. But for the 87 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: most part, I think that's still coming. And you did 88 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: see for the first time I think in camp I 89 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: thought you saw some signs that the Patriots were a 90 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: little vulnerable on some of the running plays today that 91 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: Carolina ran, both with Deonta Foreman and obviously with Christian McCaffrey. Well, 92 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: these two teams aren't done yet. They will take the 93 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: field here Gillette Stadium seven pm on Friday night for 94 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots second preseason game. Should be something to watch. 95 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: Fastiness of these two and it does sound like the 96 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: Patriots starters are gonna get some run in that game. 97 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be a little bit more 98 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: of the ones than what we saw. Certainly no ones 99 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: really last in the openers, so I think we're gonna 100 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: see some some mac Jones drives on Friday night. Well, 101 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: it was a productive two days of a practice. Maybe 102 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: a few more fights than we would have liked, but 103 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: overall got a really good glimpse of what the Patriots 104 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: have been working on and how it's starting to come together. 105 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: Of course, that'll continue next week and to join practices 106 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas against the Race and then the final 107 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: preseason game against the Raiders that Friday night as well. 108 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: So that'll do it for this week's campcast. We will 109 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: be back next week with a campcast for you from 110 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: Las Vegas.
