This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training
Camp Cast is your source for all the news from
Patriots Training Camp.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, I do still watch the news.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com have.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
You covered what did I miss yesterday? Now here to.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Review today's practice the writers of Patriots dot com.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
All right, welcome into another another episode of the Patriots
Training Campcast. I'm Mike you So, joined by Tamara Brown
and Paul Parillo and guys.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
This was a little bit of a different feel today.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
We had a season ticket holder practice, so medium sized crowd.
We had Evan out there doing some live commentary. A
little bit of a different feel, but overall, Paul just
felt like more of the same.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
To me, it felt like we had some ups, we
had some downs.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
There were some positives they'll get into in a second,
but overall, to me, it just felt like a continuation
where fits and starts for no.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Matter who's kind of planning.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
One of the things that's really starting to stand out
to me is how long it takes them to get
into practice.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Today.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
They were about twenty to two twenty five minutes before
their helmets even went on. You know, a very extended
walm up period. I guess it makes a little sense
coming off a game they were, they were off, you know,
they had some treatment on Friday, off on Saturday, so
you know, working their way back in slowly. But I
did think it was another one of those sort of
methodical plotting kind of practices. Now, I will say this
(01:21):
on a positive side, saw our little tempo today on
the offense. It didn't take as long to me between plays.
It looked like there was an emphasis on getting more
plays run. You know, they went back and forth basically
was all Brissette in May today again, So I did
I did find that a positive, the tempo of the
offense game.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I wonder if the temple had to do with the
refs being there today. This was the first practice of
training camp that we've seen them. Obviously we saw them
in mini camp, but having them today there today was nice.
I feel like it helped see a lot more with
the smooth operations that Paul was mentioning in his Key
to the game, I feel like we were able to
see a lot of those moments pop up today in practice,
the lay of games, balls being batted down, the line
(02:01):
of scrimmage, and complete passes et cetera. So it's nice
having them out there.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Re huddles a couple of times. Job Man, I had
to call it still an issue. It's still an issue.
They'll give him a little kick of them.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
But but you said the word pop Tamara, and I'm
gonna say tomorrow. Douglas back today, not in the red jersey,
very active, and I think you know, for me, Paul,
he just kind of stands out like he has a
different you know, nothing crazy, but was able to strink
together a few nice catches and his presence on the
field just it jumps out at you.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
To me, he's the only guy who consistently gets open
and he I mean, I know there was a coverage
breakdown on a seven on seven. He had a deep over.
He was completely uncovered. Something happened on that play. Kyle
Duggart after practice talked a little bit about they got
to tighten some communication issues up. He talked about it
more being pre snap stuff that they weren't necessarily aligned properly.
(02:47):
But yeah, Douglas is to me, he stands out with
the receiver group and to be honest, even that today
was mostly quick stuff around the line of scrimmage. But
that one deep over and seven on seven, he's the
only one that gets open consistently.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I will say. And with the wide receiver group today
not having Juju out there, you did see guys get
more reps like I saw Thornton get multiple reps. I
don't know IF's because Thornton was out of I think
the last practice that we watched. Yeah, but he showed
up a few times today too, after Pop Douglass of course,
where he was making a bunch of catches. So it
interesting to see as they continue down the line how
the reps do get divvied up.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Yeah, so Pop coming out of the red jersey was
certainly an item of note. Unfortunately, still know Marcus Jones.
Similar thing for him today where all of a sudden
I look at the end of practice and he's like
out there, but you know, he doesn't participate at all.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Marty Map who continues to.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Watch some of the tackle injuries that we thought maybe
might pop up, So it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
A Korra four is back out there, Wallace is out there.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
The top two group remains Viderian Lowe on the left side,
a chor of four on the right side. And you know,
maybe one of the more interesting things though, guys, was
just the kicker. Competition ramped up a little bit today,
and I've never seen anything like this before. But you
had all kinds of guys closing in, trying to psych
him out, yelling at him, loud music.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It was like blaring, which.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
The only thing missing was Bill scoring the holder, trying
to get him wet, get the ball wet, you know,
usually he sprays the ball down. But yeah, there was
a lot of that was probably I mean, you could
take this for what it's worth. It was probably the
most energetic portion of practice. Yeah, and the entire team
was involved.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Honestly reminded me of free thirds at the end of
a basketball game and the student section like waving their
hands and going crazy. That's what it reminded me of.
And it was nice to see the guys. You know,
they both missed a few, they made a few. It
was good competition, all right.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Well, the Patriots are going to be back on the
field on Monday. We're anticipating with the Eagles coming to
town on Tuesday, maybe they'll probably downshift a little bit tomorrow.
I don't expect another padded practice we've seen a bunch
of padded practice.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
My guess is they'll be in pads for the joint
practice on Tuesday, so yeah, I would I would think
no pads tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
So busy week coming up, Eagles coming to town Tuesday,
and then they'll play on Thursday night, another preseason game.
So we're rolling right along, folks. We hope you'll stick
with us here as Training Camp continues to roll on.
