1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm good. This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The 2 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Patriots Training Camp Cast is your source for all the 3 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 1: news from Patriots Training Camp. Well, I do still watch 4 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: the news. Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots 5 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: dot com have you covered? What did I miss yesterday? 6 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: Now here to review today's practice? The writers of Patriots 7 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: dot com. All right, the sixth practice of Patriots Training 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: Camp twenty twenty two is in the books, the second 9 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: padded practice, and we are here to get you, guys 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: cut up on everything that happened here at July Stadium 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: today on Tuesday, August second. This is Mike Tusseau joined 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: by Paul Pirillo, Evan Lazar Patriots dot Com. We're all 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: out there today, guys. It was a hot one day 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: two of PADS and I'm gonna start with you, PAULI 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: what what What's a big takeaway you had from day 16 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: two here in pads? A lot more of the defensive front, 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: I think, really controlling the line of scrimmage. That to 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: me was a constant both days, you know, running game, 19 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: passing game, consistently pushing the pocket, making Mac Jones and 20 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy sort of pulled the ball down and improvised, 21 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: the offense not really looking overly cohesive, and I think 22 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: it's all started up front. I think the defensive front 23 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: front seven for the Patriots has really controlled things really 24 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: in both days. Yeah, certainly not not great from the 25 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: offense last couple of days, but not totally devoid evan 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: of a couple of good plays, couple of guys standing 27 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: out here and there, who are a couple of positive 28 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: guys on the offense you think have had a good 29 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: day day and a half. Here it seems like they're 30 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: receiving Corps is trading off good days, right, which I 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: think speaks to the fact that they might be one 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: of those teams that has good depth but doesn't necessarily 33 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: have that number one guy. And that's okay. One week 34 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: it might be Kendrick Boring goes off, the next week 35 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: it's Nelson Agalore, And today that's who it was in practice, 36 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: going right down the right sideline against Justin Bethel and 37 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: coverage and went right by him as you hope he would, 38 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: and caught a deep ball from Mac Jones about forty 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: five yards in the air. When the opportunity has been 40 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: presented to them by the things going on up front, 41 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: which I think we'll probably talk about it. As Paul 42 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: just touched on the downfield passing has been a little 43 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: bit more available, I would say, than what we saw 44 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: last year. It does seem like Aglare and Mac have 45 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more chemistry going into year two. Taekwon 46 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: Thoran can certainly get up the field, as we know 47 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: Davante Parker has that element to his game as well. 48 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: So stretching the field is one thing that again, when 49 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: the offensive line is held up and everything has allowed 50 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: them to do that, it has looked a lot better 51 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: this year so far. So Paul mentioned the defensive front, 52 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: and certainly Christian Barmore is a guy that everybody's got 53 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: their eyes on. We've had a couple of days of 54 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: one on one in pads. He's just a handful. I 55 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: mean it doesn't win every rap, but he at least 56 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: comes close. I think every time gobble us the offensive 57 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: linemen that have to have to deal with him from 58 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: a snap to staff basis. But overall, are you buying 59 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: on the defensive front, and we have big questions on 60 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: the secondary too, Are you buying on this defense right 61 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: now in the type of performance, I don't know. It's 62 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: hard to It's hard to really make that evaluation based 63 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: off of how little we've seen. I do I buy 64 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: on bar More, for sure. I think he's terrific, But 65 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if the defense's edge and play over 66 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: the majority of the first week here has been about 67 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: that or about the lack of execution on offense, which 68 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: is to me precipitated by the stuff that you know, 69 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: Evan talked about with you know, the transition that the 70 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: offense is going through. We talked about a lot on 71 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: Patriots Unfiltered as well. So I want to temper you know, 72 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: the you know, the over the top praise of the defense. 73 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: I think the defense has controlled things for the most 74 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: part in every practice that we've seen, probably with the 75 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: exception of the very first one. But at the same time, 76 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: the offense is the one that's making some wholesale changes. 77 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, well the reserve judgment, Yeah, let's let's sit 78 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: you up for that, Evan, and a little bit of 79 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: the offensive wholesale changes. Uh, you know, just obviously we're 80 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: Patriots dot Com. We're not we're not going to break 81 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: down the we're not going to send out the laybook 82 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: or anything. But you know, just generally, what have you 83 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: kind of seen from the offense and how do you 84 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: feel like they're kind of evolving? What direction are they 85 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: pointing it. It's definitely more of a Shanahan e type 86 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: of look to it from what we've seen over the 87 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: last two padded practices in particular, and I think when 88 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: you ever, you try to implement that type of scheme 89 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 1: and not to sugarcoat it, because quite frankly, the running 90 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: game for the first two days of PADS has not 91 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: looked good. It's been a slow burn here. But you 92 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: have patience, I think is the keyword right where when 93 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: you're implementing a scheme like this, it is a very 94 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: big difference from what they've done in the past, and 95 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: it is a scheme that is predicated on timing the rhythm, 96 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: the timing of the blocking upfront and the cutback lanes 97 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: presented to the running backs and things like that. It 98 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: all has to go in concert and that's going to 99 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: take some time. And to steal from Bill Belichick, they 100 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: don't play a regular season game tomorrow, so they have 101 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: another month or here so or here to really work 102 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: through some of those things. I think right now, what 103 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: you're seeing with the offensive line in pass protection at times. 104 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: Two is not physical limitations. It's not guys blowing blocks, 105 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: it's not guys getting beat. It's more so, well, who's 106 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: got that guy right? You know? What are we doing here? 107 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: How we get into this block there? And figuring those 108 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: things out is going to take time and repetition. I 109 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: think that's a good point, because I don't I don't 110 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: think it's as much about not being good enough as 111 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: it is not really being sure what they're doing. I 112 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: agree with Evan's assessment on that. The good news is 113 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: from a health standpoint, just to get everybody up to 114 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: speed on you know what's going on. They're they're pretty 115 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: healthy roster. I mean it's still Brian Hoyder has been 116 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: out the last couple of days. Bill Belichick said this 117 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: morning doesn't expect that to be much longer. And then 118 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: James White still on PUP and the two rookie offensive 119 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: lineman Hines and Stuber are on NFI. But overall, you're 120 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: starting to get the players that that open camp on 121 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: lists back into the mix. We're seeing more Miles Bryant, 122 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: Jonathan Jones, Jabrill Pepper has been a little slower acclamation 123 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: and David Andrews has been out there taking reps eleven 124 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: on eleven, so well, a lot of the league is 125 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: sort of dealing with some health issues here at the 126 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: start of camp. The Patriots are pretty healthy, all right. Well, 127 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: that'll wrap up this edition of the Camp Cast. If 128 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: you guys want even more, go over to Patriots Unfiltered 129 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: episode we recorded today, two hours worth.

But we'll be back tomorrow with 132 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: another edition. We got a couple more practices.
