1 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from 3 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: Patriots Training Camp. 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 2: Well, I do still watch the news. 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: have you covered? 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 3: What did I miss yesterday? Now here to review today's practice? 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 3: The writers of Patriots dot com. 9 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: All right, welcome into another edition of the Patriots Camp Cast. 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 2: Training Campcast, they should say, Paul, and today I felt 11 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 2: like drab Mayo spoke before practice kind of felt like 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: a challenge of defense a little bit. 13 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: He said. 14 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: You know, the offense has had a good couple of days. 15 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 2: We talked about it on yesterday's wrap up show, and 16 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 2: it felt today a little more evenly matched, but probably 17 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: a little bit more towards the defense. No question, the 18 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 2: offense had some moments, but overall, I would say defense 19 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: play a little bit more solid today, made things harder. 20 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I mean I would say so that said, 21 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: I still think the quarterbacks, both Bressett and may threw 22 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 3: the ball pretty well. I thought, you know, I thought 23 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 3: there were some plays to be made, and you know, 24 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 3: sometimes the receivers made them, sometimes they didn't. But I 25 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 3: would agree with you overall, coverage was much better to 26 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 3: say you didn't see guys running free. 27 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, Timarrow, what's who stood out to you today? 28 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. I liked how Mayo opened up and said, you know, 29 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: the offense responded well to the heat yesterday, but the defense, 30 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: like he said historically two days ago, that the defense 31 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: usually has a head start in camp. Jabrill Peppers yesterday 32 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: year guy Mike. He said, I like the way we 33 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: compete yesterday, but as a defender, they made too many plays. 34 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: So I think today I liked Hearn and I liked Hawkins. 35 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: I think both of them had a great days. A 36 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: couple pass breakups, but which are questionable because I thought 37 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: the wide receivers had a lot of drops today. They 38 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: did that a lot of drops today. 39 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: And we probably we've talked about the sloppiness in camp, 40 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: and I didn't. I think I saw maybe one pre 41 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 2: snap thing where it was a rehuddle, but there were 42 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: a number of drops today. 43 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they were fall starts. Again. There were situations 44 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 3: where I think the time management because you're starting to 45 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 3: see a little bit more of the two minute hunter. 46 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: Henry talked about it after practice. They're starting to get 47 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 3: a lot of that situational stuff involved in the practices 48 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: and probably the best hunter, Henry. The best play for 49 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: the team today was a last second diving touchdown catch 50 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: by Henry, who I thought, by the way, was very 51 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 3: good in this practice, but I thought it may have 52 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 3: been after the time it expired, So that's the kind 53 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 3: of situational stuff. The play before that, with the clock running, 54 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 3: is a short throw on the sideline, didn't really get 55 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: them all that much closer to the end zone, didn't 56 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: get out of bounds, and really created a sort of 57 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 3: hectic final play. Maybe they got the playoff in time. 58 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: Preset did a nice job of just floating one to 59 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: an area and allowing this tight end to go and 60 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: make a play diving catch by Henry. 61 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 2: You mentioned it was situational for my vantage point. I 62 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: looked up at the clock, two seconds left, clock running, 63 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: look back beat, couldn't tell for sure if they got 64 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: it off. But another session I just wanted to quickly 65 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: mention was I thought, you know Drake May's best period 66 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 2: of the day, which was red zone seven. On seven, 67 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: you had a touchdown to Jalen Polk, you had eighty 68 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: seven look like he dropped the TV, and then an 69 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 2: easy one to Baker, So you know, just some completions, 70 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: and again it's seven on seven, but I thought overall 71 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: that was Drake's strongest period of the dates. 72 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: Marit was that the one where they ended in the 73 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: fifty eight yard field goal. Maybe I can't remember, No, no, different. 74 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: One, No, I think that was that was earlier and 75 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: earlier eleven on eleven bit which was Joey Slid hit 76 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: a fifty eight. 77 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, I thought definitely Drake May was better 78 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: in the seven on sevens. I feel like when they 79 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: were in the two minute kind of hurry up type 80 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: of offense, there were a lot of mistakes, miscommunication, throwing 81 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: the ball out of bounds, potentially sacks here and there. 82 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: I thought that definitely sped him up a lot, which 83 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, that's something we were wondering in a real 84 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: game like setting, how is Drake May going to handle 85 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: all the time that they spent working on his technique. Yeah. 86 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: I think it was after the Hunter Henry touchdown, Drake 87 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: May went and didn't do much a throwaway, miss baker, 88 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: miss seven, sack and complete. I just wrote ick on 89 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: the last play. 90 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, the two minute drills after Brissetts and Brissettes, I 91 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: mean to be fair, was kind of shaky, even though 92 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: it ended up in a touchdown. The other two series 93 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 3: it was it was May and then Joe Milton four 94 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 3: and out, so they didn't really get the ball moving all. 95 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: But I do think, like I said, and I know 96 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: there's been some sort of talk that we're not necessarily 97 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: covering May the way we should. It's kid gloves. I mean, 98 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: he made three or four throws today that I thought 99 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 3: were pretty good throws that didn't get caught, and one 100 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 3: of them was that one to Mitchell Willcox and you're 101 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 3: talking about I mean that was a tough throw in 102 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 3: traffic down the seam in the end zone, tight tight 103 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: windows down in the red zone, and you know Willcox, 104 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 3: so I actually think has been playing pretty well has 105 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 3: to make that catch for him. I thought there was 106 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 3: another one on the two minute drill and a nice 107 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 3: out route to Juju. He got his feet tangled up 108 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 3: with the defensive back and ended up falling down. The 109 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 3: pass was perfectly thrown, but you know, it looks like 110 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: one of those like, well, where was he throwing that one? 111 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 3: Because there was no one there to catch it. So 112 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: I thought May threw the ball well at times. But 113 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: to me, the story of the day was the pressure 114 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: from that front seven again was too much and there 115 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 3: were some guys out. No chukes today you had Vederian 116 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 3: Lowe staying at left tackle, Cayden Wallace at right tackle. 117 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: Those guys struggled. I thought Kayden Wallace in particular struggled 118 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: protecting the passers today. 119 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's round out some of the personnel pieces today 120 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: because there were, you know, some new absences. You mentioned 121 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 2: Chusa Kora for Calvin Anderson, and now a Korfo was there. 122 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: I think we saw him there but just didn't participate. 123 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 2: But Calvin Anderson, who went down briefly yesterday with an 124 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 2: ankle injury, got back up, re entered the lineup. He 125 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 2: was missing probably not the biggest. 126 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: He had a sleeve on the lake. Yeah, so my 127 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 3: guess is dealing with something with his calf one Thornton. 128 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, there he goes igguess kind of just what are 129 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: we doing here? Because I feel like it's the same 130 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: thing with him. He has a great camp and then 131 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: he disappears and you're just like, Okay, what's going on here? 132 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: So he did show up to practice a little bit 133 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: into practice, but he wasn't dressed. He was just on 134 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: the sideline. So I'm hoping it's nothing serious because he's 135 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: had a great couple of days and so now it's like, 136 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: hopefully he's not taking a step backwards with potentially an injury. 137 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: It's the same thing we talk about Paul. With these 138 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: young receivers, it's, you know, you got to stay out there, 139 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: you got to be consistent. I mean, Polk, Baker, those 140 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: guys have been out there every day, at least as 141 00:05:59,080 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: far as training camp. 142 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: Jalen Polk made some tough catches today. I don't know 143 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 3: if any of them really counted because you know, one 144 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 3: of them was in the back of the end zone, 145 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 3: he was out of bounds, and then one of them 146 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 3: was on a sideline on a quick, quick diving catch 147 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 3: on the sideline. They gave him credit for the catch. 148 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 3: I thought he caught it. But two really good catches 149 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 3: for Jalen. 150 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: Poll strong hands with him, Marcus Jones, Josh Bledsoe continue 151 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: to be out they come out and watch, you know again, 152 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 2: put Marcus Jones with Taekwon Thorton, and it's, you know, 153 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: just disappointing for these young guys, especially guys that have 154 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: been drafted in the past. Couple of years that have 155 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 2: the traits that this team needs, the speed, you know, 156 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: certainly with Marcus Jones, we've been excited to see him 157 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,239 Speaker 2: get a chance to this new kickoff. He's now out, 158 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: so team will have a day off tomorrow, maybe a 159 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: chance for them to get a little bit healthy. 160 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 3: But it'd be a bad sign if you didn't see 161 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 3: Marcus Jones back on Monday. But I would say, you know, 162 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 3: when guys leave the lineup, it gives opportunities, and I 163 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: think Marcellus Dial has gotten some some more reps and 164 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: he's got some competitiveness to him. 165 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 166 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: I think he's the guy that stands out to me 167 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 3: almost every day when. 168 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: Paul brings up opportunit. I think this is an opportunity 169 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: for Jalen Rager to show why he's valuable, not just 170 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: on offense, but on special teams. You've seen him in 171 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: there a lot returning those punts, so I think it's 172 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: an opportunity for him to potentially make it because he 173 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: can fill in from Arkis Jones. 174 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, just one of the last guy I want to mention. 175 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: I thought number two kJ Olsbourne. I think some good 176 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: practices from catches today. In the end, zone. He's one 177 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: receiver that you know, feels like he's coming on. I 178 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: don't know for sure how he fits into the whole 179 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: big picture. Is he an outside He's probably not an 180 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,119 Speaker 2: outside guy, And I think that's really what they need, 181 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 2: you know, to make this offense truly functional and lethal, 182 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: is to have somebody who can get downfield. I know 183 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: some people have been talking about Javon Baker, and I 184 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: don't want to pump the brakes on him, but I 185 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 2: think a lot of the buzz with him is coming 186 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: from one on ones in team periods. He's not very consistent. 187 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: He has some moments. I know today Drake May threw 188 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: one up. It just it didn't even look like he 189 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: had any separation. It wasn't even closed. So, you know, 190 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: so between him, between Taykwon Thornton, just some questions, I 191 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: would say, remain kind of a wide receivers. 192 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: Absolutely agree. Cool. 193 00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: Well, we got a day off tomorrow and then we'll 194 00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: be back at it next week as we build up 195 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: to the Patriots first preseason game.
