WEBVTT - Training Camp-Cast 8/2: Day 6 Recap, Offense makes progress, Defense wins the day

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Patriots Training Camp Cast is your source for all the

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>news from Patriots Training Camp. Well, I do still watch

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the news. Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>dot com have you covered? What did I miss yesterday?

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Now here to review today's practice? The writers of Patriots

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>dot com. All right, the sixth practice of Patriots Training

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Camp twenty twenty two is in the books, the second

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>padded practice, and we are here to get you, guys

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:35.879
<v Speaker 1>cut up on everything that happened here at July Stadium

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>today on Tuesday, August second. This is Mike Tusseau joined

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>by Paul Pirillo, Evan Lazar Patriots dot Com. We're all

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>out there today, guys. It was a hot one day

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 1>two of PADS and I'm gonna start with you, PAULI

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>what what What's a big takeaway you had from day

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>two here in pads? A lot more of the defensive front,

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I think, really controlling the line of scrimmage. That to

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>me was a constant both days, you know, running game,

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>passing game, consistently pushing the pocket, making Mac Jones and

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Bailey Zappy sort of pulled the ball down and improvised,

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the offense not really looking overly cohesive, and I think

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>it's all started up front. I think the defensive front

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>front seven for the Patriots has really controlled things really

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>in both days. Yeah, certainly not not great from the

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 1>offense last couple of days, but not totally devoid evan

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>of a couple of good plays, couple of guys standing

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>out here and there, who are a couple of positive

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>guys on the offense you think have had a good

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>day day and a half. Here it seems like they're

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>receiving Corps is trading off good days, right, which I

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>think speaks to the fact that they might be one

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.839
<v Speaker 1>of those teams that has good depth but doesn't necessarily

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>have that number one guy. And that's okay. One week

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>it might be Kendrick Boring goes off, the next week

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>it's Nelson Agalore, And today that's who it was in practice,

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>going right down the right sideline against Justin Bethel and

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>coverage and went right by him as you hope he would,

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and caught a deep ball from Mac Jones about forty

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>five yards in the air. When the opportunity has been

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>presented to them by the things going on up front,

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>which I think we'll probably talk about it. As Paul

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>just touched on the downfield passing has been a little

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 1>bit more available, I would say, than what we saw

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>last year. It does seem like Aglare and Mac have

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more chemistry going into year two. Taekwon

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Thoran can certainly get up the field, as we know

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Davante Parker has that element to his game as well.

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>So stretching the field is one thing that again, when

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.679
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line is held up and everything has allowed

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>them to do that, it has looked a lot better

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>this year so far. So Paul mentioned the defensive front,

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 1>and certainly Christian Barmore is a guy that everybody's got

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>their eyes on. We've had a couple of days of

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>one on one in pads. He's just a handful. I

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>mean it doesn't win every rap, but he at least

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>comes close. I think every time gobble us the offensive

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>linemen that have to have to deal with him from

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>a snap to staff basis. But overall, are you buying

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>on the defensive front, and we have big questions on

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the secondary too, Are you buying on this defense right

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>now in the type of performance, I don't know. It's

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>hard to It's hard to really make that evaluation based

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>off of how little we've seen. I do I buy

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>on bar More, for sure. I think he's terrific, But

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the defense's edge and play over

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the first week here has been about

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>that or about the lack of execution on offense, which

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 1>is to me precipitated by the stuff that you know,

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Evan talked about with you know, the transition that the

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>offense is going through. We talked about a lot on

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Patriots Unfiltered as well. So I want to temper you know,

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the over the top praise of the defense.

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I think the defense has controlled things for the most

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>part in every practice that we've seen, probably with the

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>exception of the very first one. But at the same time,

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the offense is the one that's making some wholesale changes.

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, well the reserve judgment, Yeah, let's let's sit

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>you up for that, Evan, and a little bit of

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the offensive wholesale changes. Uh, you know, just obviously we're

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Patriots dot Com. We're not we're not going to break

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>down the we're not going to send out the laybook

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>or anything. But you know, just generally, what have you

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of seen from the offense and how do you

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like they're kind of evolving? What direction are they

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>pointing it. It's definitely more of a Shanahan e type

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>of look to it from what we've seen over the

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>last two padded practices in particular, and I think when

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>you ever, you try to implement that type of scheme

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.239
<v Speaker 1>and not to sugarcoat it, because quite frankly, the running

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 1>game for the first two days of PADS has not

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>looked good. It's been a slow burn here. But you

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>have patience, I think is the keyword right where when

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you're implementing a scheme like this, it is a very

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>big difference from what they've done in the past, and

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it is a scheme that is predicated on timing the rhythm,

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the timing of the blocking upfront and the cutback lanes

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>presented to the running backs and things like that. It

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>all has to go in concert and that's going to

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 1>take some time. And to steal from Bill Belichick, they

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>don't play a regular season game tomorrow, so they have

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>another month or here so or here to really work

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>through some of those things. I think right now, what

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing with the offensive line in pass protection at times.

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Two is not physical limitations. It's not guys blowing blocks,

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not guys getting beat. It's more so, well, who's

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>got that guy right? You know? What are we doing here?

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>How we get into this block there? And figuring those

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>things out is going to take time and repetition. I

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>think that's a good point, because I don't I don't

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>think it's as much about not being good enough as

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>it is not really being sure what they're doing. I

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>agree with Evan's assessment on that. The good news is

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>from a health standpoint, just to get everybody up to

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 1>speed on you know what's going on. They're they're pretty

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>healthy roster. I mean it's still Brian Hoyder has been

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>out the last couple of days. Bill Belichick said this

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>morning doesn't expect that to be much longer. And then

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.919
<v Speaker 1>James White still on PUP and the two rookie offensive

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>lineman Hines and Stuber are on NFI. But overall, you're

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>starting to get the players that that open camp on

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>lists back into the mix. We're seeing more Miles Bryant,

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Jones, Jabrill Pepper has been a little slower acclamation

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>and David Andrews has been out there taking reps eleven

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>on eleven, so well, a lot of the league is

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of dealing with some health issues here at the

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.039
<v Speaker 1>start of camp. The Patriots are pretty healthy, all right. Well,

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that'll wrap up this edition of the Camp Cast. If

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you guys want even more, go over to Patriots Unfiltered

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.720

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>deep into everything that's been going on here the first

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>six days of practice. But we'll be back tomorrow with

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 1>another edition. We got a couple more practices. They're going

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to be in stadium Friday night, and then next week

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the Giants come to town. We're just about a week
