0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.319
<v Speaker 1>Camp Cast is your source for all the news from

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Patriots training camp. Well, I do still watch the news.

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>have you covered what I miss yesterday? Now here to

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>review today's practice the writers of Patriots dot com. All right,

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>we're coming to you live from the side of Gillette Stadium,

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>where we just wrapped up the Patriots and Panthers first

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>joint practice of the summer. This is Mike Dousou joined

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>by Paul prlo Evmosar Patriots dot Com. Here for another

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>training camp cast. Get you caught up on this practice

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and today, guys, tempers ran a little hot, but I

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>think we saw some good things out of the Patriots

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>offense a little bit, just a little bit of consistency.

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not so much in the run game, but overall, Paul,

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I felt like it was a pretty good day for

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the Pats. Yeah, I thought I was most impressed with

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the defense too. You know, we keep talking about you

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>know the defense looks good. Is that because the Patriots

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>offense is struggling? Well, I thought the defense today looked

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>just like it does in most other training camp practices.

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought they had pretty good coverage. I thought the

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.919
<v Speaker 1>defensive line in particular really controlled most of the eleven

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>on eleven play. I thought they had a lot of

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>pressure on both Bigger Mayfield and Sam Arnold. I thought

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the defense was really solid and evan. For you from

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the offense, what it stood out to you today, seemed

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>like a pretty good day for Mac and made some

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>nice connection, especially the DeVante Parker. This to me was

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the most in rhythm the passing game has looked. It

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 1>wasn't always the most successful yet, especially on the ground,

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I would say, but in terms of the passing offense,

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>I thought Mac looked the best, throwing the ball down

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the field on time, in rhythm, hitting guys in the hands.

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>A couple of good deep completions to DeVante Parker early on.

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>They opened up with the play action period and he

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>was hitting guys Jacoby Myers on a cross or in

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>cut to Taekwon Thornton that fade down the sideline to

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>DeVante Parker again, got that twice in this practice. A

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>nice corner out to Jacoby as well later on. So

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>a more aggressive, more successful Mac Jones pushing the football

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>down the field more in this practice than I think

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>any other practice that we've seen all summer long. I

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.959
<v Speaker 1>know Paul might disagree with me a little bit on

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 1>being so bullish on the passing offense, but I thought

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>in general this was as in rhythm, as in sync

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>as Mac Jones as looked all summer. Yeah, I think

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days of it. I mean, even yesterday's reduced,

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, sessions seemed a little bit of that. Still

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't love what I saw out of the running game.

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Weren't a lot of holes being opened up. Thought maybe,

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Patriots would have an option, an opportunity

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>to do that. But however, we're seeing now as the

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>fans are getting ready for autographs. But we did see

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.359
<v Speaker 1>some couple a couple of skirmishes, some people thrown out

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Christian Wilkerson, Kendrick Bourne, later James Ferns among the Patriots.

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>I guess not totally surprising to see the tempers boil over. Paul,

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>you've been doing these joint practices. Not an uncommon occurrence

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to see some of that. Yeah, I mean we've seen

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>it periodically. I thought today was a little bit more

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>like extended. You know, Chicago was probably the worst one

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I've seen in terms of an actual incident, but this one,

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it started, it boiled over, it continued. Then a couple

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>of plays later there was another one, and a couple

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>of plays after that there was another one. I thought

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 1>there were several opportunities that the coaches had to bring

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>their teams together sort of, you know, calm it down.

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>It didn't really seem like that that worked, and it

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't until the very end, the last couple of team

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>periods where it seemed like they settled down and just

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>and just went and played football. But you know, the

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>players and coaches talked at length yesterday about, you know,

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the desire to see somebody different in the competitive juice flowing.

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>We saw her a little of that today, and that's

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 1>what I was most encouraged about, you know, for both

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>on both sides of the ball for the Patriots. Yeah.

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I do think the Patriots clearly had the better of

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>play today, both offensively and defensively. I don't think there's

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>any question about it. So much to look at, and

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>at one point there's six different group drills going on.

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>You don't know where to look any any last thoughts

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>here to take away from this practice before we take

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a look at tomorrow's joint session. Yeah, it is. Looking

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>at my notes now about pressures, run stops, tackles for

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>loss for the Patriots defense. I had quite a few

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>of just across the board in eleven on elevens. Matthew

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Judon in the backfield a bunch. I thought, Devon Gotshaw

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>continues to be strong in the middle. Dietrich wise had

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>a few pressures, and then they started bringing some of

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>those safety blitzes and a little bit more exotic looks

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>as well and getting some pressure with those. It looked

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.799
<v Speaker 1>like that matchup last year in Week nine against Carolina

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 1>where the Patriots just absolutely dominated the Panthers up front

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and held them to six points. This had a very

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>similar feel. And if you're Carolina, you're a Panthers beat

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>reporter us, but Carolina version of it. You come away

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>from this practice just I don't know what you get

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>from this quarterback competition right now, because neither Baker Mayfield

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>nor Sam Darnold practice particularly well. It looks like Baker

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>is high on all of his throws. It looks like

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Sam Darnold is still seeing ghost set times always thrown.

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>So it's not a good comment, but It does put

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>in perspective We've been harsh and rightfully so for some

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>of these practices the Patriots offense, Mac Jones, how he's

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 1>looked this summer. Mac looked like the best quarterback on

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>the field by far out here today. Compare it to

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the two starters whatever you want to call them in Carolina.

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I know there's not the two best quarterbacks in the

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>league or anything like that, but I think it does

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>put some perspective on where the Patriots are and where

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Mac is that he definitely outperformed two guys that are

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 1>clearly struggling in Carolina. Well, one day of joint practice

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>is down, a couple more to go this week we'll

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 1>have tomorrow. We will be back on Patriots Unfiltered, So

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>if you can't make it down here, it was a

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>great crowd today, lots of people down here enjoying this.

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 1>We will be live starting nine fifteen tomorrow on Patriots

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>dot com. So we got you covered with all of that.

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>So it should be another interesting day. See how the

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.280
<v Speaker 1>temperature is tomorrow in terms of the tempers and if

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>they're able to settle in. But a good day of

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.160
<v Speaker 1>work and I'm sure productive is the coaching staff is

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>able to get a look at the film. So that'll

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 1>do it for this edition of the camp Cast. We

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>will catch you tomorrow. Thank you for downloading this podcast,
