  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 3: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com have.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: You covered what did I miss yesterday? Now here to.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Review today's practice the writers of Patriots dot com.
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: All right, welcome into another another episode of the Patriots
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: Training Campcast. I'm Mike you So, joined by Tamara Brown
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: and Paul Parillo and guys.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: This was a little bit of a different feel today.
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: We had a season ticket holder practice, so medium sized crowd.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: We had Evan out there doing some live commentary. A
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: little bit of a different feel, but overall, Paul just
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: felt like more of the same.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: To me, it felt like we had some ups, we
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: had some downs.
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: There were some positives they'll get into in a second,
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: but overall, to me, it just felt like a continuation
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: where fits and starts for no.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Matter who's kind of planning.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: One of the things that's really starting to stand out
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: to me is how long it takes them to get
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: into practice.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: They were about twenty to two twenty five minutes before
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: their helmets even went on. You know, a very extended
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: walm up period. I guess it makes a little sense
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: coming off a game they were, they were off, you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: they had some treatment on Friday, off on Saturday, so
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: you know, working their way back in slowly. But I
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: did think it was another one of those sort of
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: methodical plotting kind of practices. Now, I will say this
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: on a positive side, saw our little tempo today on
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: the offense. It didn't take as long to me between plays.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: It looked like there was an emphasis on getting more
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: plays run. You know, they went back and forth basically
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: was all Brissette in May today again, So I did
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I did find that a positive, the tempo of the
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: offense game.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I wonder if the temple had to do with the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: refs being there today. This was the first practice of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: training camp that we've seen them. Obviously we saw them
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in mini camp, but having them today there today was nice.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like it helped see a lot more with
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the smooth operations that Paul was mentioning in his Key
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to the game, I feel like we were able to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: see a lot of those moments pop up today in practice,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the lay of games, balls being batted down, the line
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and complete passes et cetera. So it's nice
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: having them out there.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Re huddles a couple of times. Job Man, I had
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to call it still an issue. It's still an issue.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: They'll give him a little kick of them.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: But but you said the word pop Tamara, and I'm
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: gonna say tomorrow. Douglas back today, not in the red jersey,
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: very active, and I think you know, for me, Paul,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: he just kind of stands out like he has a
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: different you know, nothing crazy, but was able to strink
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: together a few nice catches and his presence on the
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: field just it jumps out at you.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: To me, he's the only guy who consistently gets open
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: and he I mean, I know there was a coverage
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: breakdown on a seven on seven. He had a deep over.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: He was completely uncovered. Something happened on that play. Kyle
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Duggart after practice talked a little bit about they got
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: to tighten some communication issues up. He talked about it
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: more being pre snap stuff that they weren't necessarily aligned properly.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Douglas is to me, he stands out with
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the receiver group and to be honest, even that today
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: was mostly quick stuff around the line of scrimmage. But
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: that one deep over and seven on seven, he's the
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: only one that gets open consistently.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I will say. And with the wide receiver group today
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: not having Juju out there, you did see guys get
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: more reps like I saw Thornton get multiple reps. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: don't know IF's because Thornton was out of I think
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the last practice that we watched. Yeah, but he showed
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: up a few times today too, after Pop Douglass of course,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: where he was making a bunch of catches. So it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: interesting to see as they continue down the line how
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the reps do get divvied up.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so Pop coming out of the red jersey was
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: certainly an item of note. Unfortunately, still know Marcus Jones.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Similar thing for him today where all of a sudden
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: I look at the end of practice and he's like
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: out there, but you know, he doesn't participate at all.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Marty Map who continues to.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Watch some of the tackle injuries that we thought maybe
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: might pop up, So it doesn't seem to be a problem.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: A Korra four is back out there, Wallace is out there.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: The top two group remains Viderian Lowe on the left side,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: a chor of four on the right side. And you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: maybe one of the more interesting things though, guys, was
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: just the kicker. Competition ramped up a little bit today,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: and I've never seen anything like this before. But you
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: had all kinds of guys closing in, trying to psych
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: him out, yelling at him, loud music.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: It was like blaring, which.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: The only thing missing was Bill scoring the holder, trying
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: to get him wet, get the ball wet, you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: usually he sprays the ball down. But yeah, there was
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of that was probably I mean, you could
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: take this for what it's worth. It was probably the
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: most energetic portion of practice. Yeah, and the entire team
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: was involved.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Honestly reminded me of free thirds at the end of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a basketball game and the student section like waving their
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: hands and going crazy. That's what it reminded me of.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: And it was nice to see the guys. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: they both missed a few, they made a few. It
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: was good competition, all right.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Well, the Patriots are going to be back on the
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: field on Monday. We're anticipating with the Eagles coming to
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: town on Tuesday, maybe they'll probably downshift a little bit tomorrow.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: I don't expect another padded practice we've seen a bunch
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: of padded practice.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: My guess is they'll be in pads for the joint
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: practice on Tuesday, so yeah, I would I would think
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: no pads tomorrow.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: So busy week coming up, Eagles coming to town Tuesday,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: and then they'll play on Thursday night, another preseason game.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: So we're rolling right along, folks. We hope you'll stick
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: with us here as Training Camp continues to roll on.
