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 (00:14):
Well, I do still watch the news.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com
have you covered?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
What did I miss yesterday? Now here to review today's practice?
The writers of Patriots dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
All right, welcome into another edition of the Patriots Camp Cast.
Training Campcast, they should say, Paul, and today I felt
like drab Mayo spoke before practice kind of felt like
a challenge of defense a little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
He said.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
You know, the offense has had a good couple of days.
We talked about it on yesterday's wrap up show, and
it felt today a little more evenly matched, but probably
a little bit more towards the defense. No question, the
offense had some moments, but overall, I would say defense
play a little bit more solid today, made things harder.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Right, Yeah, I mean I would say so that said,
I still think the quarterbacks, both Bressett and may threw
the ball pretty well. I thought, you know, I thought
there were some plays to be made, and you know,
sometimes the receivers made them, sometimes they didn't. But I
would agree with you overall, coverage was much better to
say you didn't see guys running free.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, Timarrow, what's who stood out to you today?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah. I liked how Mayo opened up and said, you know,
the offense responded well to the heat yesterday, but the defense,
like he said historically two days ago, that the defense
usually has a head start in camp. Jabrill Peppers yesterday
year guy Mike. He said, I like the way we
compete yesterday, but as a defender, they made too many plays.
So I think today I liked Hearn and I liked Hawkins.
(01:28):
I think both of them had a great days. A
couple pass breakups, but which are questionable because I thought
the wide receivers had a lot of drops today. They
did that a lot of drops today.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And we probably we've talked about the sloppiness in camp,
and I didn't. I think I saw maybe one pre
snap thing where it was a rehuddle, but there were
a number of drops today.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, and they were fall starts. Again. There were situations
where I think the time management because you're starting to
see a little bit more of the two minute hunter.
Henry talked about it after practice. They're starting to get
a lot of that situational stuff involved in the practices
and probably the best hunter, Henry. The best play for
the team today was a last second diving touchdown catch
(02:05):
by Henry, who I thought, by the way, was very
good in this practice, but I thought it may have
been after the time it expired, So that's the kind
of situational stuff. The play before that, with the clock running,
is a short throw on the sideline, didn't really get
them all that much closer to the end zone, didn't
get out of bounds, and really created a sort of
hectic final play. Maybe they got the playoff in time.
(02:28):
Preset did a nice job of just floating one to
an area and allowing this tight end to go and
make a play diving catch by Henry.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
You mentioned it was situational for my vantage point. I
looked up at the clock, two seconds left, clock running,
look back beat, couldn't tell for sure if they got
it off. But another session I just wanted to quickly
mention was I thought, you know Drake May's best period
of the day, which was red zone seven. On seven,
you had a touchdown to Jalen Polk, you had eighty
seven look like he dropped the TV, and then an
easy one to Baker, So you know, just some completions,
(02:55):
and again it's seven on seven, but I thought overall
that was Drake's strongest period of the dates.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Marit was that the one where they ended in the
fifty eight yard field goal. Maybe I can't remember, No, no, different.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
One, No, I think that was that was earlier and
earlier eleven on eleven bit which was Joey Slid hit
a fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, so yeah, I thought definitely Drake May was better
in the seven on sevens. I feel like when they
were in the two minute kind of hurry up type
of offense, there were a lot of mistakes, miscommunication, throwing
the ball out of bounds, potentially sacks here and there.
I thought that definitely sped him up a lot, which
you know, that's something we were wondering in a real
game like setting, how is Drake May going to handle
(03:33):
all the time that they spent working on his technique. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I think it was after the Hunter Henry touchdown, Drake
May went and didn't do much a throwaway, miss baker,
miss seven, sack and complete. I just wrote ick on
the last play.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, the two minute drills after Brissetts and Brissettes, I
mean to be fair, was kind of shaky, even though
it ended up in a touchdown. The other two series
it was it was May and then Joe Milton four
and out, so they didn't really get the ball moving all.
But I do think, like I said, and I know
there's been some sort of talk that we're not necessarily
(04:07):
covering May the way we should. It's kid gloves. I mean,
he made three or four throws today that I thought
were pretty good throws that didn't get caught, and one
of them was that one to Mitchell Willcox and you're
talking about I mean that was a tough throw in
traffic down the seam in the end zone, tight tight
windows down in the red zone, and you know Willcox,
so I actually think has been playing pretty well has
(04:28):
to make that catch for him. I thought there was
another one on the two minute drill and a nice
out route to Juju. He got his feet tangled up
with the defensive back and ended up falling down. The
pass was perfectly thrown, but you know, it looks like
one of those like, well, where was he throwing that one?
Because there was no one there to catch it. So
I thought May threw the ball well at times. But
to me, the story of the day was the pressure
(04:51):
from that front seven again was too much and there
were some guys out. No chukes today you had Vederian
Lowe staying at left tackle, Cayden Wallace at right tackle.
Those guys struggled. I thought Kayden Wallace in particular struggled
protecting the passers today.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, let's round out some of the personnel pieces today
because there were, you know, some new absences. You mentioned
Chusa Kora for Calvin Anderson, and now a Korfo was there.
I think we saw him there but just didn't participate.
But Calvin Anderson, who went down briefly yesterday with an
ankle injury, got back up, re entered the lineup. He
was missing probably not the biggest.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
He had a sleeve on the lake. Yeah, so my
guess is dealing with something with his calf one Thornton.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, there he goes igguess kind of just what are
we doing here? Because I feel like it's the same
thing with him. He has a great camp and then
he disappears and you're just like, Okay, what's going on here?
So he did show up to practice a little bit
into practice, but he wasn't dressed. He was just on
the sideline. So I'm hoping it's nothing serious because he's
had a great couple of days and so now it's like,
(05:48):
hopefully he's not taking a step backwards with potentially an injury.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's the same thing we talk about Paul. With these
young receivers, it's, you know, you got to stay out there,
you got to be consistent. I mean, Polk, Baker, those
guys have been out there every day, at least as
far as training camp.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Jalen Polk made some tough catches today. I don't know
if any of them really counted because you know, one
of them was in the back of the end zone,
he was out of bounds, and then one of them
was on a sideline on a quick, quick diving catch
on the sideline. They gave him credit for the catch.
I thought he caught it. But two really good catches
for Jalen.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Poll strong hands with him, Marcus Jones, Josh Bledsoe continue
to be out they come out and watch, you know again,
put Marcus Jones with Taekwon Thorton, and it's, you know,
just disappointing for these young guys, especially guys that have
been drafted in the past. Couple of years that have
the traits that this team needs, the speed, you know,
certainly with Marcus Jones, we've been excited to see him
get a chance to this new kickoff. He's now out,
so team will have a day off tomorrow, maybe a
(06:39):
chance for them to get a little bit healthy.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But it'd be a bad sign if you didn't see
Marcus Jones back on Monday. But I would say, you know,
when guys leave the lineup, it gives opportunities, and I
think Marcellus Dial has gotten some some more reps and
he's got some competitiveness to him.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I think he's the guy that stands out to me
almost every day when.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Paul brings up opportunit. I think this is an opportunity
for Jalen Rager to show why he's valuable, not just
on offense, but on special teams. You've seen him in
there a lot returning those punts, so I think it's
an opportunity for him to potentially make it because he
can fill in from Arkis Jones.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, just one of the last guy I want to mention.
I thought number two kJ Olsbourne. I think some good
practices from catches today. In the end, zone. He's one
receiver that you know, feels like he's coming on. I
don't know for sure how he fits into the whole
big picture. Is he an outside He's probably not an
outside guy, And I think that's really what they need,
you know, to make this offense truly functional and lethal,
is to have somebody who can get downfield. I know
(07:36):
some people have been talking about Javon Baker, and I
don't want to pump the brakes on him, but I
think a lot of the buzz with him is coming
from one on ones in team periods. He's not very consistent.
He has some moments. I know today Drake May threw
one up. It just it didn't even look like he
had any separation. It wasn't even closed. So, you know,
so between him, between Taykwon Thornton, just some questions, I
would say, remain kind of a wide receivers.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Absolutely agree. Cool.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, we got a day off tomorrow and then we'll
be back at it next week as we build up
to the Patriots first preseason game. They'll welcome the Carolina Panthers,
So stick with us through Monday and Tuesday. We'll be
back with more Patriots training campcast to keep you caught
