WEBVTT - Training Camp-Cast 8/19: Maye/Offense Shine, 2-minute Defense, Borregales from 50+ 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.760 Patriots and Eagles got after it today with joint practices, 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:05.120 and it was the Patriots who finished strong. Let's break 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:16.279 it all down. Welcome everybody to the Patriots Camp cast 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:18.279 presented by New Balance. And Yes, it was probably the 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:20.000 highlight of the summer. I would say, at least the 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.120 first day of the highlight of the summer, guys. Joint 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.600 practices with the Eagles, with a competitive day, Patriots getting 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.440 a lot of good work in not so much the 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.080 red zone stuff, guys, but overall similar format to what 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:31.800 we've seen in the past. Maybe a little bit less 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:33.960 one on ones, but overall, Paul, what are your biggest 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:35.120 takeaways here from the first day. 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.559 I continue to be impressed by the Patriots offense. I 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.159 think Drake May and AJ Brown looked more and more 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:43.760 comfortable as the days go by. Pop Douglas continues to 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:45.400 make plays over the middle. I thought it was a 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.360 good day for the offense. I that the offensive line 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.320 held up pretty well against a much stiffer test in 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:52.760 the Eagles than the Colts. Yeah. 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.440 Really active day for a J Brownhuh. Yeah. 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.400 I thought of both offenses who controlled the beginning part 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.280 of practice and maybe the two minute drill got a 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.880 little clunky there and the defense is punched back a 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.200 little bit. But I look at the line of scrimmage 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.720 and I thought that the Patriots once again had a 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:08.720 lot of clean pockets to push the ball down the 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:12.959 field from with Drake, May, Aj Brown, Romeo Dobbs, Pop Douglas, 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.880 all three of those guys getting targeted down the field 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.760 into the mix at some point. So that was really encouraging. 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.520 You know, it's one thing to do it against your 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.039 own guys day in and day out, but that's a 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.160 really good front that the Eagles brought here to this practice, 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.680 and I thought the Patriots offensive line held their own defensively. 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.560 I think we're still concerned about the same things run defense, 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.040 pressure on the quarterback. So I would say both offenses 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:36.920 kind of won the day. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.959 I got to echo your the good part because to me, 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:40.880 I said on our pre on our show when we 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.000 were going live Paul that I wanted to see them 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.880 protect especially inside. We know Carter how good he can be, 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.920 Davis big guys, But like Jev said, I thought there 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.080 were some clean pockets. Drake had a chance to step 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.320 up a couple times to make some throws downfield. As 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.960 I said, AJ Brown was involved. I saw some catches 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.400 from tomorrow Douglas just you know, overall, I was in 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.120 brilliant cur by the offense today. 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:01.400 Yeah. 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.240 I thought the regular periods of offense, you know, they 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.160 did some down you know, down in situational where at 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.440 first downs, third downs, whatnot. I thought the offense was 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.560 kind of doing what it wanted to do. Now, unfortunately, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.200 I think the same could be said of the Eagles 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.240 offense on the other field. But in the two minute, 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.880 it looked like both defenses kind of dialed up, some stuff, 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.320 got some pressure at times, muddied the pockets a little bit. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.640 Now you have two guys in Drake May and Jalen Hurts, 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.920 who are very mobile, very athletic quarterbacks. So I'm not 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.120 telling you these would have been sacks. I don't think 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.720 there were a lot of sacks today on either side. 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.600 But I think that that's kind of what made the 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.919 two minute a little clunky, to use Evans's term. But overall, 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.560 very encouraged by the offense, Very encouraged by AJ Brown. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.880 Yeah, before we jump into the two minute drills, the 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.600 dueling two minute drills out, just to pause point about 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.360 the defense, I felt like you know, we saw some 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.480 RPO stuff that was like there was a lot of 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.240 space inside. There was one screen pass that it felt 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:01.000 like he was gone a lot of space inside against 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.359 the run, against the run, similar to what we saw 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:04.640 against the Colts A little bit. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.440 About Yeah, I would say that was probably the thing 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.320 that stood out to me the most was Shipley and 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.040 Sakuon Barkley were kind of doingever they wanted in the 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.800 run game and those run periods. And then we also, 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.000 you know, we talked about, you know, during practice then 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.680 they have to dial up blitzes to get pressure on 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.920 the quarterback, and I felt like the Patriots standard rushers 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.359 rushes weren't really getting home, you know, those four man 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.320 standard rushes. So we'll see. But the run game I 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.600 thought got better as practice went on. For the Patriots defense, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.120 it was started slow and then they started to stuff 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.680 some runs in the second run period. I thought, so 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.840 maybe some improvement, maybe a little bit of maybe you know, 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.240 pick me up on the sideline type of thing. Maybe 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.880 they weren't ready to go out of the gate. But I, 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.160 like you guys said about Drake May you know, aj 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.040 Brown thought the best throw between those two guys off 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.200 his back foot just floating the ball. Now, if there's 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.320 some pressure there, I don't know those guys would have 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.800 gotten home or not. But just threw a ball in 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.000 the bucket over aj Brown's outside shoulder and dropped it 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.520 in there against pressure. They hit a crossing route earlier 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.400 on in practice to aj Brown right and stride with 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.320 the defender right and coverage there a really good throw 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.280 Dobbs down the left sideline on a big play. So 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.280 when you see those plays being pushed down the field 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.799 and the ball being pushed down the field, you usually 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.520 think the pass protection was probably pretty solid if they 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.680 have the time and the ability to push it down 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:25.240 the field like that. 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.120 And I just would look at those kinds of plays 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.279 and I can easily envision seeing that in the regular season. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.320 That's the kind of offense to me, that is sustainable. 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.520 It's not you're throw one up and a guy made 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.680 a play, or you know, you know, the quarterback made 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.159 a great play to escape the pocket, got off platform, 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.680 bought some time, and someone squirt it loose. These were 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.240 regular plays, as Evan said, where Drake may had time 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.640 to survey the field, read the coverage, and find the 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:50.159 open guy. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.640 They hit the one to Dobbs. Sorry, but the one 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.600 to Dobbs was really encouraging to me because I think 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.560 he looked off the safety in the middle of the field. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.640 He had Brown and Dobbs both on vertical routes on 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.279 the out side, and he started looking at Brown. The 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.360 safety move with Brown, and then he came back and 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.479 hit Dobbs on the one on one. If you have 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.240 the amount of time in the pocket to do that, 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.400 then that tells you that the pass protection was pretty 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:11.080 solid exactly. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.680 The overall sure didn't look like two years ago and 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.240 joined practice against the Eagles when Eagles pretty much had 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.840 their way. Patriots certainly competitive. Let's talk about the final 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.560 two minute drive one oh five need a field goal. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.800 Starting out at your twenty, we saw both the ones 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:25.760 on both teams, and then we saw the twos as well. 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.120 Nice job here by the ones. I thought it was 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.640 a little bit clunky, Paul, you said there was a 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.320 little bit of pressure. Maybe that hadn't quite popped up earlier. 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.840 But got a shout out. Andy boorg Gallas hitting both 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.320 field goals at the end, the first one and fifty 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.800 three yarder, the second one fifty seven yarder with the 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.440 twos as well, so two good kicks for him. We 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.360 know he kind of yet kick bounce back for border Gallis. 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.119 I didn't think that two minute was great. 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.520 I thought the first throw, it's either a bad throw 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.360 by Drake or a bad read by Romeo Dobbs as 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.160 he sort of cuts in maybe looked like he was 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.520 trying to protect him from the safety who was right there. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.320 But anyway, I thought it was a ball Dobbs could caught. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.600 Looked like you got both hands on it, So that's incomplete. 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.400 Next play is across to Douglas, looks like he's open, 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.560 he's got a step, throws really low, kind of takes 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.719 him to the ground, he stumbles, falls. I think Evan's 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.680 right nowhere nearer first down now because of the drill, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.960 they moved it across the thirty yard line and gave 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:16.719 him a first down. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.480 So instead of third and three or four, and you. 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.599 Haven't even really started a two minute drill that you know, 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.560 because it's practice, all of a sudden, you get something started. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.680 I thought there were some plays there that looked like 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.320 the pockets started to get a little leaky, but the uh, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.640 you know, I think situationally, they set up the field goal, 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.360 but good on bord Gallas were making them. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.320 Yeah, I saw it the same way. I felt like 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.440 they moved the ball up and then they put more 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.720 time on the clock, and then it felt like they 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.320 wanted to get the situation of the fire drill field 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.440 goal and get that off and see how that operation looked. 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.760 So ye Will probably said, hey, can we just play 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.920 out this situation. I thought the defense though, got to 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.800 stop I think hanging up with past defenses. Yeah, so 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.880 they legitimately got stops, and I thought that was the 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.320 practice where you saw some of the issues with the 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.560 Eagles offense in terms of handling pressure and blitzes and 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.240 things like that. They're installing a new offense and I 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.840 think that's been a big hot button topic in Philly, 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.920 is that they don't have a lot of answers to 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.680 blitzes and hot receivers and things like that. So the 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.920 Patriots dialed up some blitzes and they were able to 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.640 get home on a lot of those blitzeres in that 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.760 one minute drill, and they had a couple pass breakups. 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.200 So that was encouraging to see. I mean, on the 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.360 one hand, you could say, well, they need to dial 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.360 up pressure to get to the quarterback. But when they 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.320 did blitz, it did get home. So I think that 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:34.640 was incouraging takeaways too. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.000 Kevin Byer talked a lot about those. Craig Woodson was 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.560 around the ball. I think he had two picks. One 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.080 of them might have been in seven on seven. But 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.880 just good to see the Patriots' secondary around the ball 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.920 a lot. And I did think I think Kevan you 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.280 alluded to this, the defense was better. I thought with 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.000 each ensuing period it looked a little bit stronger. 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.440 Yeah, that was what was funny to me. It was 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.640 like the offensive defense looked one way during the drills, 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.000 then we got to the two minute drill and it 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:57.080 almost kind of flipped a little bit. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:57.280 I know. 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.120 That's why I feel like we're gonna have different takes 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.400 than everybody else on practice because we were watching a 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.280 little bit more of the defense because they were closer 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.320 to us where we were watching practice. But I felt 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.720 the same way. I thought the Eagles offense actually moved 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.040 the ball pretty well early. They had a big post 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.200 down the field, they had a wheel route to Shipley 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.360 out of the backfield for a big play. A couple 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.120 of big runs by Barkley and then we got down 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.480 to the to the tent and everybody said that Patriots 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:21.560 defense dominated, and I. 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.640 Was like DeVante Smith, today was complete. Yeah, I mean 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.680 they didn't really, most of it was most of it 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:28.280 was underneath. 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.680 Yeah yeah, no. Mkai Lemon I thought that you know, 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:33.120 it got better though. 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.080 He did get it did get better as the practice 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.240 went and shout out to Kendall Wildor with the twoes. 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.880 He capped off practice with an interception. Nice for him. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.319 John Sanders also had an interception during practice. Guys around 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.240 the ball popping up. He's not playing against you. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.920 Know, Mariano Rivera from now on, He's the Tarron Harmon. 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.800 Well, it was a great first day of practice and 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.559 I'm sure this energy is just going to carry over 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.040 into day two. We'll see if motions are going to 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.120 run high, but Eagles are going to look to punch back. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.160 Patriots looking to get better on defense should be a 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.120 great one if you're able to come on down to Foxboro.
