Speaker 1: This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training
Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from
Speaker 1: Patriots training Camp.
Speaker 2: Well, I do still watch the news.
Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com
Speaker 1: have you covered what did I miss yesterday? Now here
Speaker 1: to review today's practice? The writers of Patriots dot.
Speaker 3: Com, Well, Mike, just so, we're just stacking those days together.
Speaker 3: Like Bill Belichick says, right.
Speaker 2: Here at by Steamy.
Speaker 3: Foxborough, I feel like I've said that several times, but
Speaker 3: today is particularly steamy here.
Speaker 2: Day three.
Speaker 3: The Patriots put on some shells underneath. Other than that,
Speaker 3: not a huge change to the attire. There was one
Speaker 3: minor change, well could be minor, we'll see moving forward,
Speaker 3: but there was a change to the attendance report today.
Speaker 3: Time Montgomery was not able to make it out here
Speaker 3: to practice today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, unfortunate and uh, I mean unfortunately part kind of
Speaker 4: what has gone on in Time Montgomery's career. But you know,
Speaker 4: again super involved early in practice, you know, got tangled
Speaker 4: up yesterday and got looked at, did not return to
Speaker 4: the field today.
Speaker 2: So certainly something to watch for.
Speaker 4: And as I said, again, it's just you know, unfortunate
Speaker 4: because this has been something happens with him, He just
Speaker 4: you know, can't seem to stay healthy. I'm sure he's frustrated.
Speaker 4: As productive as he looks as every practice we've seen.
Speaker 4: If he if he can't stay out on the field,
Speaker 4: that's it's not gonna matter. So hopefully he gets back
Speaker 4: out soon. Christian Barmore also absent, although today we saw
Speaker 4: reports that his h that he is now a father
Speaker 4: and a baby, and so congratulations to him and hopefully
Speaker 4: he'll be back soon.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So other than that, the attendance remains excellent, you know,
Speaker 3: and as you said, Barmore, I don't think it's anything.
Speaker 3: Looks like he's just welcoming his first child, uh into
Speaker 3: the world. So we'll we'll keep an eye on Montgomery
Speaker 3: moving forward. A couple other sort of health related things.
Speaker 3: I thought we saw more from Matthew Judon today than
Speaker 3: we have seen in the two previous practices. He was
Speaker 3: involved in some of the I think this sub work,
Speaker 3: the pass rushing packages the Patriots put together eleven on
Speaker 3: eleven's he took some reps today.
Speaker 2: Good to see him out flying around. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 2: good way to put it.
Speaker 4: It feels like he's ramping up a little bit, you know,
Speaker 4: still looked like josh Ucha out there when they went
Speaker 4: to you know, seven on seven, eleven on eleven with
Speaker 4: with the with the top units. So something I'll watch
Speaker 4: with JT on it doesn't you know, it doesn't really
Speaker 4: at this point, I would say, it doesn't really seem
Speaker 4: like a hold in. It just seems more like he
Speaker 4: was rounding out into shape. So it's it's it's good
Speaker 4: to see him to start to get involved with those
Speaker 4: that giant red sweatshirt.
Speaker 2: God bless him for wearing it today. It must be
Speaker 2: a sweating a lot on that one so offensively.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I didn't think there was a whole lot to
Speaker 3: be excited about. To the defense continues to the coverage.
Speaker 3: Now they moved around the red zone a little bit.
Speaker 3: Started out by around you know, closer to the twenty,
Speaker 3: around the eighteen yard line, moved their way in.
Speaker 2: Didn't really matter.
Speaker 3: I got the coverage had the better of play for
Speaker 3: most of the day. I thought both Mac Jones and
Speaker 3: Bailey's Appy struggled to find receivers. IDT Trace McSorley actually
Speaker 3: showed some flashes, although his last set of plays was
Speaker 3: just like Jones and happy, but overall, Mike, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: focus on the positive.
Speaker 2: Because you know that's the kind of guy I am. Right,
Speaker 2: I'll let you.
Speaker 3: Tend to always go glass half full. I thought the
Speaker 3: secondary was was really good today, and the rookie Christian
Speaker 3: Gonzalees stands out to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that let's let's stay on the positive here.
Speaker 4: On the defensive side, You're totally right. I mean I
Speaker 4: thought Gonzalez had a couple of nice uh it plays
Speaker 4: in coverage, you know, got got left behind I think
Speaker 4: once or twice in the.
Speaker 2: Previous two practices to be expected from a rookie.
Speaker 4: But just great to see him out there consistently, and
Speaker 4: you know, again just being able to be out there
Speaker 4: every day and and and get this experience under his
Speaker 4: belt is as he starts his career, so you know.
Speaker 2: A really good sign for him.
Speaker 4: Defense, they're experienced and no surprise, they look like they
Speaker 4: know what they're doing.
Speaker 2: You know. However, with the offense, I'm with you.
Speaker 4: It's just I mean I had an eleven elevens to
Speaker 4: you know, two completed passes, you know, a lot of
Speaker 4: attempts to try to hit contested you know, catches in
Speaker 4: the back, corner of the end zone, fades and those
Speaker 4: kind of things to Devonte Parker that you know, they
Speaker 4: were going to a lot last year in training camp,
Speaker 4: and uh, they just couldn't really seem to get those going,
Speaker 4: whether guys were out of bounds, whether were the misthrows,
Speaker 4: whether guys weren't getting open. So there just wasn't a
Speaker 4: lot today that felt like, here's the offense this is.
Speaker 4: We had a little bit of it yesterday, but today
Speaker 4: it felt like it was a little bit of a void.
Speaker 4: As far as hey, that was a successful offensive play
Speaker 4: that looked in rhythm. They got it out in time
Speaker 4: and it looked right. There wasn't a lot of that today.
Speaker 3: A couple of quick personnel notes. I saw a lot
Speaker 3: of connin Dermott today at right tackle. Riley Reef has
Speaker 3: been there the first couple of days. Reef took some
Speaker 3: some reps, kind of switch slid over to the left
Speaker 3: side at times, backing up Trent Brown. But I saw
Speaker 3: more Connor McDermott today than i've seen.
Speaker 2: And you you know, saw.
Speaker 3: Chasin Hines rotating in a little bit at right guard
Speaker 3: as well. So they're starting to see some movement on
Speaker 3: that offensive line. I thought with the shells on today,
Speaker 3: one takeaway from me, the protection I thought was was
Speaker 3: much better. It's it's funny how that works. When the
Speaker 3: offensive line can actually hit the guys coming in, they're
Speaker 3: able to protect their quarterbacks a little bit better.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, a little little rotation going on there right
Speaker 4: guard to you know, we saw Bill Murray, the converted
Speaker 4: defensive lineman who's been on the practice squads, you know,
Speaker 4: made the shift there last year. So rookie at Tonio
Speaker 4: Maffi getting a shot there chasing Hines. So it seems
Speaker 4: like they're you know, taking a look at some of
Speaker 4: the depth pieces there. And obviously next week when the
Speaker 4: pads come on, then we'll get a real sense of,
Speaker 4: you know, how things are going on the offensive line
Speaker 4: with the contact coming into play.
Speaker 3: So another defensive day today, I would have to say.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow is an off day for the Patriots and for us.
Speaker 3: We will be back with our next training camp cast
Speaker 3: on Sunday. Once again, the Patriots expected to be in
Speaker 3: the shells and we're hoping by the start of next
Speaker 3: week we'll get some padded workouts to to give our
Speaker 3: thoughts about. But day off tomorrow, we'll be back on Sunday,
