WEBVTT - Training Camp-Cast 7/27: Day Three Walkthrough, Second Years Step Up, Receiver Room Depth

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.280
<v Speaker 1>The Patriots had a walk through on day three, but

0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>don't worry. We're here to break down what we've seen

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>over the first three days of Patriots training camp.

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's get into it.

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Patriots Training Camp cast presented Buying New Balance.

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Day three f they went down to a walk through.

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 3>Not a ton to sitting sound too excited about that.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 2>I was excited about it. Though it seemed like they

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 2>were getting a little bit into third down.

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, you've seen both sides of the ball putting

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>some tweaks in still some first second down stuff, so

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I thought this was an opportunity maybe to

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>regroup a little bit and just how we're feeling about things.

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>First though, generally heard from Mike Rable this morning. You

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 1>were in there, I was out pumping the crowd up.

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Would you take away from Brable this morning?

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a lot of.

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Gay back as questions as you could imagine about his

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 3>contract and reports about his contract. But I think the

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 3>biggest takeaway was, you know, somebody asked him if he

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 3>was in jeopardy of missing the season or anything like that,

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 3>and he said that he doesn't anticipate that at all.

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 3>So I think that we're hoping that we're gonna see

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Gay back as sooner rather than later. It seems like

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 3>that's the general sentiment some off season award winners, if.

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 2>You're into that sort of thing to it.

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.399
<v Speaker 3>A lot of the year two guys got recognized. Will Campbell,

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Jared Wilson, Kyle Williams in Elijah Ponder were the four

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 3>guys that they gave off season awards too. So we're

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 3>able just highlighting the fact that last year's rookies really

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 3>came in this offseason and stepped things up.

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, important players too.

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, guys you're looking forward to hopefully make a jump,

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>especially Elijah Ponder here as we see you know, Acus Landry.

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully they work their way back in little housekeeping though.

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Reggie Gilliam back at the walk through, of course it's

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>just to walk through.

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 2>But I think he said it was a veteran rest day. Yeah,

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 2>like a maintenance da.

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 3>I think some of these guys Morgan moses, it was

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 3>another one that he put in this category. But I

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of those

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 3>older guys Hunter, Henry, Morgan Moses, you know, players like

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 3>that that some days they might not do as much

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 3>as others.

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>You gotta get your fullback ready for that day one

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>of pads when you're going to probably put the ball

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>on the goal line and there's going to be some

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>some collisions going on. But you know, overall, we've now

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>watched three practices and you know middle pads are going

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>to come on this week, so we're all excited for that.

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>But still a lot to take away. And I would

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 1>just start with the secondary. Think you have most of

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>those guys coming back. You added Kevin Bayern, coming off

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>his third All Pro season, led the NFL seven interceptions.

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>We've seen those guys active early.

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Thankfully, Christian Gonzalez has been out there participating, but he's

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>been around the ball. We heard from AJ Brown today

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>talking a little bit about their matchup.

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:24.959
<v Speaker 2>On the first day.

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Craig Woodson comes up with an interception, we heard from

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>him today. You know, felt good to get his hands

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>on the ball this early in camp.

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Carlton Davis with a pass break up.

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 1>Instagram Romeo right down the line, and you know, even

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Jones just flying all over the place.

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, his speed and how will they use him?

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Just really impressive early days of camp to me, These

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>guys are the key takeaway.

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 2>They've been kind of dominating.

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it feels like all off season because we as

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 3>we do, we talk about the concerns and things that

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 3>might prevent us from, you know, hoisting a Lombardi Trophy

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 3>in February, and we talked so much about the pass

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 3>rush and the lack of edge rushers and things like that. Well,

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 3>it helps when you're you know, the quarterback has to

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 3>hold the ball because the secondary is you know, got

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.359
<v Speaker 3>everybody locked down. So I think that that's what you're

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 3>hoping is that there's a lot invested in this back end,

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 3>with Christian Zales maybe even being more invested in Christian

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Zalez here soon. But carl and Davis is under contract,

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Marcus Jones is under contract, You signed Byered, you draft Woods,

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 3>and so there's a lot of guys that they've invested

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 3>a lot in. And I think what you hope is

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 3>that the playoffs last year were a precursor to what's

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 3>going to happen this season where you can blitz a

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 3>little bit more. You can get exotic up front to

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 3>get guys free in the pass rush, even though you

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 3>don't necessarily have that Miles Garrett type maybe the quarterback

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 3>having to hold the football a little bit extra that

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 3>will allow the pass rushers to get home.

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Second thing, I want to talk about just the wide

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>receiver group because I think it's a really stack group.

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we talked a lot about kase Shaan

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Boody this offseason, and here's Kishan Boody first two days

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>of practice coming down with tough catches.

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 2>It's what he does.

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Just keeps showing up, keeps making plays. But you know,

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I just I watch you have you got the two

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>fields going. They've got Kyle Williams going, They've got Mac Collins,

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.839
<v Speaker 1>they've got Pop Douglas heavily involved. Of course, all eyes

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>are on AJ Brown and Romeo Dobbs, the new guys

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to see how they're fitting in. But you know, this

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>is a year where not just the talent has improved,

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>but they still have a lot of depth.

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just that's what.

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm most curious about going through camp. How does that

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>all play out and who ends up sticking and really

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>being the core guys that they're gonna roll with.

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a good point, and I feel like at

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 3>times in practice I see guys running with groups that

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't expect them to run with because there's so

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 3>much depth there that they just need to get Mac

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Collins a rent. So he might be repping with Tommy

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 3>DeVito and you're like, wait a second. Mac Collins is

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.479
<v Speaker 3>a veteran guy in this league that caught the only

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 3>touchdown in the Super Bowl the Patriots scored, and he's

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 3>repping with the twos and threes. That's a little odd,

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 3>but they have so much depth at that position, as

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 3>you mentioned, And I'll admit it, all off season, I've

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.160
<v Speaker 3>been kind of on the trade caseh on booty train,

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 3>but he's winning me over. And I think you two things. One,

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 3>he deserves a lot of credit for that. He deserves

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 3>a lot of credit for showing up. And I think

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 3>he showed up the same way in Mini camp, in

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 3>shape and just making plays and making impossible to move

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 3>on from him. And I think he deserves a lot

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 3>of credit for that. And the other thing, you know,

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 3>you see him Aj Brown, Romeo Dobbs moving around the

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.679
<v Speaker 3>formation a lot, and guys running routes out of the slot,

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 3>sometimes running routes outside, and I'm starting to see, Okay,

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 3>maybe we can figure this thing out where you know

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Keaishan BOUDI sometimes he's the big slot. Sometimes AJ Brown

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 3>is the power slot, and they just kind of move

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 3>off that exposition a little bit more than what they

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 3>have in their past. So I'm warming up to it.

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 3>I think that there's a you know, they're exploring different

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 3>ways to try to get all three of those guys

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 3>on the field at the same time.

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Last thing, Drake May I mean, let's talk about him

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Yesterday Kevin Bier said defense usually starts

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit in front of the offense. I mean,

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought over those two practices. I mean, he made

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 1>some throws, but I think he also missed some throws.

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he you know, there was a there was

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a blitz yesterday Carlton Davis off the edge. It looked

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>like they kind of got him on that one. Maybe

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a slow start for Drake. I mean,

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to push the panic button or anything

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>like that. We just heard from AJ Brown who's like, yeah,

0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>they're not really letting them throw it yet, So you know,

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the best just still yet to come. But I think

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.799
<v Speaker 1>he's kind of set the stage here for this second

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>week of training camp. As we get the pads on,

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.679
<v Speaker 1>we start to look forward to join practices for you know, Drake,

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>AJ Brown, Romeo Dobs start to turn up the volume

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.119
<v Speaker 1>a little bit and start making some plays.

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I thought what Aj Brown said about him not

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 3>really throwing the ball a ton yet it kind of

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 3>rung true to me because it's just he's a rhythm

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 3>quarterback and I think that, you know, it might be

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 3>hard for him. Are going to get three reps here,

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 3>three reps there, and then we're going to hand it

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 3>off and like all these different things that they're doing,

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 3>and they don't just play, and at some point in

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.160
<v Speaker 3>training camp, we're going to get a string of eighteen

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 3>straight Drake May reps and we'll see the real Drake

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 3>May that we saw all of last season. So I'm

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 3>not concerned about it by any means. I would also

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 3>mention AJ Brown, Romeo Dobbs a little bit of Eli

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 3>rerit into new faces, new guys that he's thrown the

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 3>football to. So I think if I'm not concerned, but

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 3>if there's one thing I want to see a little

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 3>bit more of, it's some chemistry with those new guys.

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 3>I think that all three of those guys, especially Brown, dobs.

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.840
<v Speaker 3>It might be a little bit of a slower burning

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 3>before we start to see them really efficient and hitting

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 3>on all cylinders because they're getting used to each other.

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 3>And that's another thing that Brown talked about was communication

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 3>and knowing where the ball is going to be, if

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 3>the coverage is in a certain area, and you know

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 3>those little details that right now, that's the time of

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 3>year to work it out.

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, Well that's day three.

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>You'll walk through, probably ramp the pace up a little

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>bit more on Tuesday with Wednesday will be an off day,

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>and then we're looking at pads at the end of

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>this week because we continue to ramp up in training camp.

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>So we'll be back tomorrow with more takeaway from Patriots

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>training camp.
