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 3: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com have.
Speaker 2: You covered what did I miss yesterday? Now here to.
Speaker 4: Review today's practice the writers of Patriots dot com.
Speaker 5: All right, welcome into another another episode of the Patriots
Speaker 5: Training Campcast. I'm Mike you So, joined by Tamara Brown
Speaker 5: and Paul Parillo and guys.
Speaker 2: This was a little bit of a different feel today.
Speaker 5: We had a season ticket holder practice, so medium sized crowd.
Speaker 5: We had Evan out there doing some live commentary. A
Speaker 5: little bit of a different feel, but overall, Paul just
Speaker 5: felt like more of the same.
Speaker 2: To me, it felt like we had some ups, we
Speaker 2: had some downs.
Speaker 5: There were some positives they'll get into in a second,
Speaker 5: but overall, to me, it just felt like a continuation
Speaker 5: where fits and starts for no.
Speaker 2: Matter who's kind of planning.
Speaker 3: One of the things that's really starting to stand out
Speaker 3: to me is how long it takes them to get
Speaker 3: into practice.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 3: They were about twenty to two twenty five minutes before
Speaker 3: their helmets even went on. You know, a very extended
Speaker 3: walm up period. I guess it makes a little sense
Speaker 3: coming off a game they were, they were off, you know,
Speaker 3: they had some treatment on Friday, off on Saturday, so
Speaker 3: you know, working their way back in slowly. But I
Speaker 3: did think it was another one of those sort of
Speaker 3: methodical plotting kind of practices. Now, I will say this
Speaker 3: on a positive side, saw our little tempo today on
Speaker 3: the offense. It didn't take as long to me between plays.
Speaker 3: It looked like there was an emphasis on getting more
Speaker 3: plays run. You know, they went back and forth basically
Speaker 3: was all Brissette in May today again, So I did
Speaker 3: I did find that a positive, the tempo of the
Speaker 3: offense game.
Speaker 1: I wonder if the temple had to do with the
Speaker 1: refs being there today. This was the first practice of
Speaker 1: training camp that we've seen them. Obviously we saw them
Speaker 1: in mini camp, but having them today there today was nice.
Speaker 1: I feel like it helped see a lot more with
Speaker 1: the smooth operations that Paul was mentioning in his Key
Speaker 1: to the game, I feel like we were able to
Speaker 1: see a lot of those moments pop up today in practice,
Speaker 1: the lay of games, balls being batted down, the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and complete passes et cetera. So it's nice
Speaker 1: having them out there.
Speaker 2: Re huddles a couple of times. Job Man, I had
Speaker 2: to call it still an issue. It's still an issue.
Speaker 2: They'll give him a little kick of them.
Speaker 5: But but you said the word pop Tamara, and I'm
Speaker 5: gonna say tomorrow. Douglas back today, not in the red jersey,
Speaker 5: very active, and I think you know, for me, Paul,
Speaker 5: he just kind of stands out like he has a
Speaker 5: different you know, nothing crazy, but was able to strink
Speaker 5: together a few nice catches and his presence on the
Speaker 5: field just it jumps out at you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: To me, he's the only guy who consistently gets open
Speaker 3: and he I mean, I know there was a coverage
Speaker 3: breakdown on a seven on seven. He had a deep over.
Speaker 3: He was completely uncovered. Something happened on that play. Kyle
Speaker 3: Duggart after practice talked a little bit about they got
Speaker 3: to tighten some communication issues up. He talked about it
Speaker 3: more being pre snap stuff that they weren't necessarily aligned properly.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Douglas is to me, he stands out with
Speaker 3: the receiver group and to be honest, even that today
Speaker 3: was mostly quick stuff around the line of scrimmage. But
Speaker 3: that one deep over and seven on seven, he's the
Speaker 3: only one that gets open consistently.
Speaker 1: I will say. And with the wide receiver group today
Speaker 1: not having Juju out there, you did see guys get
Speaker 1: more reps like I saw Thornton get multiple reps. I
Speaker 1: don't know IF's because Thornton was out of I think
Speaker 1: the last practice that we watched. Yeah, but he showed
Speaker 1: up a few times today too, after Pop Douglass of course,
Speaker 1: where he was making a bunch of catches. So it
Speaker 1: interesting to see as they continue down the line how
Speaker 1: the reps do get divvied up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so Pop coming out of the red jersey was
Speaker 5: certainly an item of note. Unfortunately, still know Marcus Jones.
Speaker 5: Similar thing for him today where all of a sudden
Speaker 5: I look at the end of practice and he's like
Speaker 5: out there, but you know, he doesn't participate at all.
Speaker 2: Marty Map who continues to.
Speaker 5: Watch some of the tackle injuries that we thought maybe
Speaker 5: might pop up, So it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Speaker 2: A Korra four is back out there, Wallace is out there.
Speaker 5: The top two group remains Viderian Lowe on the left side,
Speaker 5: a chor of four on the right side. And you know,
Speaker 5: maybe one of the more interesting things though, guys, was
Speaker 5: just the kicker. Competition ramped up a little bit today,
Speaker 5: and I've never seen anything like this before. But you
Speaker 5: had all kinds of guys closing in, trying to psych
Speaker 5: him out, yelling at him, loud music.
Speaker 2: It was like blaring, which.
Speaker 3: The only thing missing was Bill scoring the holder, trying
Speaker 3: to get him wet, get the ball wet, you know,
Speaker 3: usually he sprays the ball down. But yeah, there was
Speaker 3: a lot of that was probably I mean, you could
Speaker 3: take this for what it's worth. It was probably the
Speaker 3: most energetic portion of practice. Yeah, and the entire team
Speaker 3: was involved.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Honestly reminded me of free thirds at the end of
Speaker 1: a basketball game and the student section like waving their
Speaker 1: hands and going crazy. That's what it reminded me of.
Speaker 1: And it was nice to see the guys. You know,
Speaker 1: they both missed a few, they made a few. It
Speaker 1: was good competition, all right.
Speaker 5: Well, the Patriots are going to be back on the
Speaker 5: field on Monday. We're anticipating with the Eagles coming to
Speaker 5: town on Tuesday, maybe they'll probably downshift a little bit tomorrow.
Speaker 5: I don't expect another padded practice we've seen a bunch
Speaker 5: of padded practice.
Speaker 3: My guess is they'll be in pads for the joint
Speaker 3: practice on Tuesday, so yeah, I would I would think
Speaker 3: no pads tomorrow.
Speaker 5: So busy week coming up, Eagles coming to town Tuesday,
Speaker 5: and then they'll play on Thursday night, another preseason game.
Speaker 5: So we're rolling right along, folks. We hope you'll stick
Speaker 5: with us here as Training Camp continues to roll on.
