  Speaker 1: This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Patriots training Camp.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I do still watch the news.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: have you covered?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: What did I miss yesterday?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Now here to review today's practice? The writers of Patriots
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: dot com a.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Little bit of a change today might do so little
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: rain rain in the forecast here in Foxborough, a little
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: bit of some sloppy conditions. First time during the training
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: camp that we didn't get really picturesque, beautiful, perfect days.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: So I thought, you know, in all seriestions, I thought
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the weather had a little bit to do with the
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: state of the practice. I thought I saw some guys slipping,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: some passes being dropped. Yeah, And I thought, you know,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Belichick talked about before practice about a lot of stressing
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of fundamentals today, So some of those things ball security wise,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he wasn't thrilled with. Also had the officials
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: on hand today, A lot of flags on the field,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of wet flags on the field.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: All starts holds, yep.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: So I think from a fundamental standpoint, I think, you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Bill Belichick probably has a lot of stuff to go
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: over with the with the troops today. Yeah, I was surprised.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess you shouldn't be surprised how many
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: balls hitting the ground, but it was sloppy throughout, a
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: lot of going through hands and you know, off people's hands,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: those kind of things. But you know, overall at another
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: kind of uneven offensive practice.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I don't want to choppy.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I don't want to kill him too much because you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: because of the weather and stuff, but just you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: not very not very productive today overall. You know, we
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: saw some interesting kind of twists now with four string
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: quarterback Malie Cunningham getting some fourth string quarterback reps. We
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: know what he was in college, and you know, getting
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: a little work on that kind of stuff. Not really
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: sure why if that's part of their offense, if it's
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: going to be scout team things in the future, but
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: certainly interesting I think to see maybe the biggest takeaway
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: today just seeing him get some opportunities at quarterback.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was related to scout as you said, Mike,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you know, looked like they were running a lot of
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: plays off of cards, and you know this is you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a quasi game prep week. You know, I know, they
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: don't go full bore into the game planning for a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: preseason game, but Houston's coming to town on Thursday. Belichick
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: talks a lot about the need to get guys at
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: least that base knowledge. You don't want to put him
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: out there completely blind to what the other team's going
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to be doing. So I think that that was what
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: we saw from Malie Cunningham. And you saw it just
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: as you would think. You know, a lot of Reid
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: option type stuff, a couple of quarterback draws, some misdirection
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: bootlegs where he's looking to get on the edge, putting
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: some stress on the edge of the defense, you know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: making them make a decision. And he threw some balls
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: as well. So yeah, Malie cunning in probably the most
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: extensive snaps we've seen from him. Attendance wise, Still having
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: some issues on the offensive line, although David Andrews was
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: back today, but no Bill Murray, but Ty Montgomery, Matthew Slater,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Jones, and Cole Strange also missing practice. A little
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: curious style about Slater in Jones, this is three practices
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: in a row. Now, I don't know if it's just
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: they're not really in the mix to play Thursday night,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: so you're giving them some extended time off their feet.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But you know, certainly a lot of other guys that
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: probably aren't going to play much, if if at all, Thursday,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: who are out there. So I don't know, just something
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to keep an eye on.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we saw, you know, Trump Brown continues to
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: kind of come out and it seems like he's mostly watching.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I'm reading now he's speaking with the with the press
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: right as we're recording this said he is dealing with
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: with some kind of injury.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what develops there.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: And you know, col Strange was spotted walked out what
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: like three quarters the way through practice to watch the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: end of it, had his helmet in hand, so he
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: saw on helmet in hand, no sleeve at all on
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the leg. He looked like he was moving around pretty well. Yeah,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, again, you know.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Doctor Perulo, hopefully it's positive.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, I also noticed after we recorded our podcast,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: heesusally Mike Reese had said that that he had spotted
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Calvin Anderson out watching yesterday's practice as well, So.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: He could be in the studio right now. Yeah, would
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and neither would I.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: So I think that that's a positive sign. I just
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: think right now they're they're really scratching the bottom of
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: their depth here after practice eleven with their offensive line,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and you know, how are you gonna make it through
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a preseason game. So I don't know if they have
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to make a move, but hopefully they can get healthy sooner,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: sooner than later.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mentioned that we had the referees on hand,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and it looked like Land Clark his his crew. You know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: it was out here. You know, forgive me for not
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: looking up all the members of Land Clock's clue, I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: do not. But he also had a guest today at practice.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Joe Mazoola, Celtics head coach, was out there with Bill Belichick.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: They spoke extensively before the practice began.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: They sted the town in between a couple of yells.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Uh now. The fairmount of one on ones too before
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: they got into the team periods today. You know, I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: thought the wide receivers weren't quite as productive as they
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: were the last time we saw one on ones, when
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it seemed like every pass was being completed. I thought
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: that's where you saw the rain. Yeah, the rain I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: think had something to do with There was some slipping
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: and definitely some drops. You know, Juju had a drop.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I think Kendrick Bourne had a couple, and Scotty Washington
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: had a couple. To Mario Douglas taekwon Thwharton. It looked
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: like pretty much everybody had at least one drop during
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you know, the one on ones and then into the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: full team. A lot of different down in distance today,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: moving up and down the field, a lot of second
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and third down work at the bulk of practice. Finished
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: up with some two minute stuff, some strange dividing up
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: of the reps. I thought at times it was all Mac,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and then it seemed to be shorter periods with Mac
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and then longer with ZAPPI. So all told, it probably
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: worked out about the same, but just a little bit
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: of a wrinkle there.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple guys just to highlight for me, I
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: thought Kendrick Bourne, other than the one you mentioned, had
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: a nice day.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: He was cut affact again.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nice day for him, maybe the best that he's
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: had thus far in camp. A couple guys just caught
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: my eye on the one on ones were a couple
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: of nice rushes by Aqualae, who's a guy that's a.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Little bit under the radar, but I think his past
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: rushing specialist. That's that's what he comes in on third
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: down for the interior.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Barmore had had a real nice one on Cody
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Russi and I thought City sal on the on the
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: out he struggled a little bit. Just you know, a
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: couple of highlights of the ones you're catching.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah that McDermott did a good job on king on
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: White too, on one of the reps. I didn't watch minute.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: You know, yeah, you got it. Then you catch some
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of them. You guys do the offensive line if they're
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: doing the other especially when we have no offensive lineman.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I know that's true. It's quick true. Uh So Yeah,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I mean Nick Folk did all the kicking today. A
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: bunch of field goals, longer range ones for him too,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: forty five, forty seven, fifty, Uh looked like he made
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: them all. There was one that we weren't quite sure
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: on first one from forty five. Wasn't it sure? But
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: it wasn't sure. Didn't really see the referee signal in time.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he had he had a strong day kicking
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the ball. Uh and again bad conditions, you know, fifty
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: yarders in the rain. You know that I don't care
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: what time of year it is. Those are not gimmes,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: so that was a good sign to see they got
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a kicking competition. Yeah, with him
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and Ryland's definitely got the stronger leg.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Interesting how they're doing it though, back to back days,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: it's just you know, a choice. I mean, I guess
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: my instinct would usually be you want to see him
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: kickside by side and go back and forth. But they're
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: doing it day by day, you know, one more practice
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: tomorrow and then we're not really sure what we're going
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: to see. So tomorrow might be the last time we
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: really get a chance to get a look at how
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: those competitions go.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, and Mike is right, that is tomorrow the scheduled
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: practice at one o'clock. Again, anybody listening, if you want
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: one last shot to get a chance to take a
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: look at the Patriots in training camp, that will be
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: your final opportunity. Well, definitely tomorrow will be our final
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: training camp cast as well. So it's amazing, you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: like Bill says, you stacked the days, they go by
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: really quick, and it feels like groundhog day because it's
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the same every single day. But they do go by
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: rather quickly and that's going to put a wrap on
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Day eleven. One more to go from Foxborough
