1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: The Patriots are back in pads and it was another scorcher. 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: We'll break it all down for you. 3 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 2: Let's go Welcome everybody to the Patriots Training Camp cast. 4 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: We just got off the field from the Patriots six 5 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 2: training camp practice and guys Harold Landry said afterwards he 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 2: felt like the defense had a good day, and I 7 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: think I would agree with him. 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 3: How about you, Paul, I would totally agree. Thought it 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 3: was a step forward. And I think when you take 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 3: into consideration that you're starting cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez and Carlton 11 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 3: Davis aren't a part of a day where it was 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 3: almost predominantly passing game in the red zone, and I 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 3: thought the defense got the better of things considering that 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 3: you're missing your best player on defense. I think it 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 3: was absolutely a step forward for the defense. 16 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 4: It's one of those practices where, again, if you bottle 17 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 4: up like three or four drakeros and put it on 18 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 4: a highlight reel, you're going to say, Wow, Drake Mayland 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 4: created practice. 20 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,319 Speaker 5: But overall, I. 21 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 4: Agree with you that there wasn't a whole lot of 22 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 4: passes completed outside of those really nice throws coupled a 23 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 4: Stefawn Diggs one of Kyle Williams in the bucket. That 24 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 4: was a beauty, But overall a tight red zone, so 25 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 4: you're not gonna complete a ton of passes down there 26 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 4: most of the time. But I'd agree with you too 27 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 4: that the defense controlled today. 28 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, the difficulty ramped up. 29 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: Of course, yesterday we were first and second down in 30 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: the red zone. Today they added in third down. A 31 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: lot of work down there, I mean a lot of 32 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: reps for those guys. To me, though, Paul, it wasn't 33 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: necessarily the pass rush or the pressure. I mean, there's 34 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: certainly were moments where the pass rush got in on 35 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: Drake May. 36 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: But I think he was just a little off today. 37 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: One of those practices where it felt like, even in 38 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 2: seven on sevens early on, he was missing some guys and. 39 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: Just not a great day from Drake May. 40 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: He's been great, I would say, through the start of camp, 41 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 2: but was today was a day where it felt like 42 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 2: maybe it. 43 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 5: Wasn't his best. 44 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 3: I would totally agree with you, I thought, especially in 45 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 3: the seven on sevens, I thought he was erratic. 46 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 5: I thought he missed some guys. 47 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: I think he had Hunter Henry and team, you know, 48 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: heading toward the corner back line. 49 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 5: The end zone. 50 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: I think he just overthrew it, And like Kevin said, 51 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: there are also some plays where you know, I thought 52 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: he like layered a beautiful throw. The other side line 53 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: of booty couldn't have been any more perfect. So it 54 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: wasn't like it was all bad offensively. And because of 55 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 3: those personnel, you know, absences that we talked about, you 56 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 3: had a chance to see some different numbers and names today. 57 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 5: DJ James was one of them. 58 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 3: You know, I don't know exactly where he fits into 59 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: the equation, but we talked a lot about Alex Austen 60 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 3: and you know, Isaiah Bold and Marcellus Dial. I thought 61 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: took a step forward yesterday. DJ James was very competitive 62 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: in coverage todays and undrafted rookie I don't really know 63 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 3: a whole lot about I think he's an undrafted rookie. 64 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 5: Well, gonna keep my eye on him. 65 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, not a lot of wide open passing windows. 66 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: I mean, everything was contested as you would expect it 67 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: to be in the red zone. But even still, again, 68 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: Harold Landry felt pretty good about how the defense played. 69 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would like to see more DJ James as 70 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 4: a name that has crept up in one on ones 71 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 4: and things like that with some pass breakups, but today 72 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 4: some couple more in team drills and eleven out eleven's 73 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 4: against the you know, frontline receivers for the Patriots. But 74 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 4: on the positive note for the offense, outside of some 75 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: of the highlight throws for Drake May, I just think 76 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 4: we have to mention the rookie offensive linemen are just 77 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 4: really starting to stack some terrific days together. I thought 78 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: Campbell again was solid today, but Jared Wilson really was tremendous, 79 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 4: especially in one on ones, shut down Milton Williams and 80 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 4: Christian Barmore to go three to zero and his three 81 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: reps and one on ones, and I just am coming 82 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 4: to the conclusion with Wilson he's one of your best 83 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 4: five in terms of blocking. 84 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 5: Now at center. 85 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 4: There's been some issues with the snaps with both Wilson 86 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 4: and Garrett Bradbury, and that battery of quarterback center is 87 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 4: a big mental load on a rookie. But in general, 88 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 4: I just can't come away from these practices with any 89 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 4: other conclusion of Jared Wilson's one of your best blockers 90 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 4: on the offensive line already, so finding a spot for him, 91 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 4: whether it's at left Carter center I think is a 92 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: must at this point. 93 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 3: So I would just I want to correct myself, DJ James, 94 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 3: first year player out of Auburn, not a rookie, not 95 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 3: an undrafted rookie. I would agree with the overall assessment 96 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: in some of these situation, you know, specifically at center 97 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 3: might be working themselves. Garrett Bradbury got nicked up a 98 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: little bit late in this practice. 99 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 5: He got stepped on, he came out, did not do 100 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 5: the conditioning run. 101 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: So we'll see if that costs him any practice time 102 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 3: moving forward. 103 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 5: But the exchange is something to watch. I thought it 104 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 5: was Bradbury today. 105 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that has been an issue virtually every practice 106 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 3: has been at least one snap that ends up on 107 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 3: the ground. 108 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 5: You got to clean that up. 109 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 4: And it's from under center, too, which is obviously harder 110 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 4: for a lot of younger centers. I should mention, like 111 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 4: Jared Wilson, Georgia goes under center a little bit more 112 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 4: than your traditional college program these days. But still I 113 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 4: probably could count maybe twenty times that I saw Jared 114 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 4: Wilson snapped the ball from under center last year at Georgia. 115 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 4: So most college teams are gun teams predominantly so that's 116 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 4: a little bit of an adjustment to a pro style 117 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 4: offense to be as under center as the Patriots are 118 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 4: going to be. 119 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 5: So it's something to watch for. 120 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 4: Might be easier for him to play guard as a 121 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 4: rookie because center is a little bit more taxing. But again, 122 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: I just thought he looked terrific today. 123 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, so a couple housekeeping things. Austin Hooper returned. He 124 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: had started the year on pup. Good to see him 125 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: out there. 126 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 5: Got tops so in full team. 127 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: But the headline of courses, Carlton Davis has been out. 128 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: We've only really seen him on a walk through this 129 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: first week now. Christian Gonzalez was out as well. I 130 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: think report Jordan Schultz reporting that hamstring issue a couple 131 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: of weeks. It's about what we thought. But still it 132 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: gives an opportunity. You guys talked about some of the 133 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: younger guys and we'll see tomorrow. I think we're gonna 134 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: stick around similar kind of practice plan. Is the offense 135 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: able to punch back a little bit, and I think 136 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: that's what we're setting up for this training camp. It's 137 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: been back and forth. I think a lot of these 138 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: last two practices, especially feels like the offense made some place, 139 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: feels like the defense made some plays today, felt like 140 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: the defense made the majority of the plays. 141 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: Now it sets up tomorrow, can the offense bounce back? 142 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 5: Absolutely? 143 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 3: I think that even some of the plays the offense 144 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 3: did make today were pretty well defended and they had 145 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,799 Speaker 3: a high level of difficulty to them. 146 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 5: Time for the offense to respond. 147 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, what else you're looking for, Evan as we get 148 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: ready here. 149 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 4: For Yeah, I would just mention, you know, Melton Williams 150 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: and Christian Barmore have been mainstays there in the middle, 151 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 4: but today I thought that sometimes they got handled a 152 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 4: little bit, And I just wonder, especially with Milton Williams 153 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 4: and Morgan Moses as well. I just flipping it over 154 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 4: to the offense and defense, the two free agent signings 155 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 4: that I'm interested to watch a little bit more and 156 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 4: see if maybe they just kind of get a rhythm 157 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 4: at some point going in training camp. Morgan Moses I 158 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 4: believe might have left practice. 159 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 5: Halfway through surely today. 160 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 4: So like, I'm feeling great about the rookie offensive lineman, 161 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 4: you know, Bradberry and Moses, the two veterans that they 162 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 4: brought in to upgrade this offensive line. Maybe moving a 163 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 4: little bit in the other direction. So I'd like to 164 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 4: see those two guys bounce. 165 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: Back, all right, well to beat Another practice tomorrow and pads. 166 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: We'll look forward to that, see if the offense is 167 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 2: able to bounce back as we get going here, wrapping 168 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 2: up the main part of the training camp. We'll get 169 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: into preseason and joint practices next week. Stick with us 170 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: throughout camp, though. We'll have these training camp casts after 171 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: every practice.
