WEBVTT - Training Camp Cast 8/1: Day 6 Recap, Focus on Passing Game

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Is the Patriots Training Camp Cast.

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 2>The Patriots Training Camp Cast is your source for all

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the news from Patriots Training Camp.

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, I do still watch the news. Practice is over,

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>but the writers of Patriots dot com have you covered?

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:16.959
<v Speaker 3>What did I miss yesterday?

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 1>Now Here to review today's practice? The writers of Patriots dot.

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 3>Com Day six in the books here in Foxboro. A

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 3>little bit of a slower pace today, Mike. You so,

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Paul Perla with you. We're not at a slower pace, Mike.

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 3>But I thought the team, after a pretty physical practice

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 3>on Monday, sort of dialed it back. They were back

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 3>in shells today. I would say the first half of

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 3>the practice was a little bit of a slower tempo,

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 3>looked like some instructions and walked through, and then I

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 3>thought they picked it up toward the end. I thought

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 3>the intensity on both sides sort of got back. Just

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 3>we'll start off with overall impressions, Michael.

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, over impressions, I thought, you know, kind of more

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 2>of the same, I guess, is what I would say.

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>An inconsistent day for the offense. You know, had one

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>nice contested throat to Devonte Parker up the sideline.

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>You've seen that a lot.

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Another one to Hunter Henry that was actually pretty nice,

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>but some clunkiness kind of remained.

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>A lot of check down.

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Seem like a lot of work on screens today, so

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>maybe that was definitely was part of it. A lot

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 2>of that, a lot of those kind of plays, So,

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, nice day for the defense, though. I thought

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 2>they got their hands on some balls. Mac Wilson making

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>a nice play there during practice, But like you said,

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a dial back version, some eleven

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 2>on eleven work, a little bit of red zone, but

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 2>otherwise hoping we get you know, back to Pats tomorrow,

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe pick up the intensity.

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I would agree with that, and I did. I

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 3>thought mac Wilson was one of the standouts defensively, and

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 3>I think that kind of speaks to it. I think

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.199
<v Speaker 3>I'm probably gonna write about this a little bit after

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 3>our show. Is just sort of the versatility along that backside.

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 3>I listened to Adrian Phillips talk after practice and he

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 3>talked about all the things the offense can do with

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 3>the motions and the different personnel groupings and the multiple

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 3>receiver sets and they can really dial it up. And

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 3>I think that's really true of the defense specifically on

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 3>the backside with all of those safeties, linebackers, and some

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 3>of them like guys like Wilson and Mapu a little

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 3>bit of both. So I did think Wilson stood out

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 3>with those things. We should do a little bookkeeping here.

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 3>We talked about the first padded practice on Monday. It

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 3>took its toll. We talked a little bit about that

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 3>yesterday with Bill Belichick talking to the whole team sort

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 3>of about practice tempo. Not surprisingly, some of those guys

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 3>that we didn't see finished practice yesterday were not out

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 3>there today. I did not spot Jalen Hurd, Brad Hawkins,

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 3>terres Hall chasing Hines and of course Time Montgomery for

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 3>now what the fourth day in a row. Also a

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 3>lot of guys that were out there really weren't taking part.

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 3>Trent Brown, Scotti, Washington, Cole Strange was on the field

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 3>but did not take part in anything. So I do

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 3>think that for padded practice took a toll a little bit. Yeah,

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:03.119
<v Speaker 3>you have physicality.

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 2>It's unfortunate, and I mean i've you know, not that

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>we've seen really much a jail and hurt other than

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>the one touchdown catch the other day. But I said

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:10.679
<v Speaker 2>I think I said it on the light show, like

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>he just intreaused me a little bit. He's got good size,

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>and it's just disappointing because this is a guy that

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>always had the measurables but just couldn't stay healthy. And

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's almost kind of the same thing with

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Montgomery with two guys that maybe you had some hopes for.

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Clearly Montgomery's, you know, your hopes for him are higher

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 2>than what they were for heard, but a little bit

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>of a disappointment there for him.

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I did see Brad Hawkins kind of he was well.

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 3>He came back up from the field. They went down

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 3>to the lower field. A lot of these guys. I

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 3>did not see Herd at all. I did not either,

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 3>but I saw at least at some point I think

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 3>everybody else, maybe not Terres's Hall either, but I don't

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 3>think I did see Chasing Hines come back from the

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 3>lower fields. Trent Brown came out not in uniform. He

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 3>has his uniform jersey, but no helmet.

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>What's going on there?

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's something, you know, And it's another thing that

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 3>Phillips was asked about someone you know, Jude On looks

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 3>like he's on this program, and Stevenson might be on that,

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 3>and he's just like, you know, that's that's their their

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 3>they deal with Bill. And you know, someone said you

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 3>might call it load management. He goes, I don't know

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 3>what you'd call it, but I'm not on any of that.

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I think it is something to sort of

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 3>keep an eye on. I mean, I would just highlight too.

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 2>And and I mean remondra Stevenson looked like, you know, an

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 2>active participant today. He didn't really see any padded action yesterday.

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>He put they put him down on the field too.

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>So I mean one part of it for me is

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>just jude On and Remandre and Trump Brown are at

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 2>three positions where they really don't have any depth. I mean,

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>it is a drop off after those guys. You know,

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 2>no disrespect to josh Uja, but those are three key

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 2>guys that, especially the tackle position. I mean right now,

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>it just seems like they're kind of scrambling along the

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>offensive line trying to figure out what can happen. I mean,

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>we're six practices in Paul and we've got you know,

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Riley Reef is playing left tackle.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>It's and Connor mcgermi's playing right right tackle, and and

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>who's their other tackle? After that? I don't, Andrew Stuber,

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess so.

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's just it's, uh, I think of all

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the things that have been concerning, and we could talk

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 2>about inconsistency on offense and you know, they really haven't

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 2>been able to push ball down the field at all,

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 2>just the tackle and the overall offensive line depth. Now

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>with cold strange heard, it's a big concern this soon.

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't agree more about your point about depth because

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 3>you certainly see and you know, someone would say, well,

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean they were missing these guys yesterday and obviously

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 3>the performance was well yeah, and what happens if you're

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 3>missing those guys and it's not like a ton of

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 3>guys are out, but you see at the spots that

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 3>you talked about, edge, rusher, running back, offensive line, specifically tackle,

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 3>there's not a lot behind the guys that you're relying on.

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 3>So you don't have to get ten, twelve, fifteen guys

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 3>on IR to be in trouble. You can get the

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 3>wrong three and it could really, you know, sort of

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 3>disrupt the Apple card a little bit. But I did

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 3>think that the practice tempo toward the end was a

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 3>little bit higher. I agree with your assessment Mike. I

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 3>thought the defense again continues to sort of you know,

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 3>even the plays. I thought that the play that you

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 3>talked about with Parker very well defended by Gonzales. You know,

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 3>good catch by good catch by Parker. That's that's what

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 3>he's known for. He goes up and makes those plays

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 3>from time to time. And I continue to think that

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 3>the best player on offense for the Patriots throughout campus

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 3>hunter him. I think he's the guy who shows up

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 3>most often, you know, and I think they're still searching.

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 3>I think Mac had a couple today that he got

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 3>confused on. Certainly the one that almost got picked off.

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 1>That one is that Marcus Jones. Marcus Jones came off

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>of his guy.

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.599
<v Speaker 3>I thought he really confused from It was a seven

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 3>on seven from up above.

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Two saw it and it was like, I mean, I

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>said it out loud. I'm like Juju, like he had

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>him and he missed him, and you know, it allowed

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Marcus Jones able to close. There was also you know,

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.599
<v Speaker 2>a deep shot to Kendrick Bourne which wasn't complete.

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>It was a pretty ball. I mean, I just liked

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>at least he was, you know, kind of trying to

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 1>push it down the field, and I'll keep.

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 3>Going credit you know, and I've been critical of Marcus Jones.

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 3>That's what I see.

0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Jones is a step or two behind.

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 3>But Bourne had him beat and you know, I mean

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Mac overthrew him.

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>It happens.

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Nice to see them taking some shots today. Yeah, any

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 3>any last thoughts before we wrap this one up.

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>No, that's it. I'd like to get you know, like

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I said, I think they need to get healthy. I mean,

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's up with Calvin Anderson.

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Bill was asked about him, but I just I think,

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, not that he's the savior, but you just

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 2>you need some you need some other depth.

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>And I really I shudder to think what happens.

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 2>If you got to go into the season with with

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Riley Reef at left tackle and Connor McDermott right tackle.

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's it's it's a little bit scary. I agree.

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 3>I agree. So the depth is an issue we will

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 3>continue to monitor as these days go on. But like
