Training Camp-Cast 8/4: Marathon Red Zone Day, WR/RB Standouts, OL Juggling Continues, Full Day 10 Recap · Patriots Unfiltered

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The Patriots are back on the practice fields on Monday
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and spend a large amount of time inside the red zone.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: How they do, We're gonna break it down for you.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Patriots training camp cast. And after
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: two days off, the Patriots are back on the practice
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: fields today, back in pads, long sessions, spent most of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: their time in the red zone pall and just to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: set it up, I would say, felt like Drake may
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the offense got off to a good start early and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: seven on seven and some of the early high red
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: zone periods, but later in the day felt like the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: defense won things.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I would largely agree with your assessment. A lot of reps,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of they got a lot of plays in today,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of situational plays starting from you know, around
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the twenty five at one point late in the game,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: late game situations they closed practice with, and then they
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: went all the way on to the low red zone
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: with various situations down in distance. So I think they've
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: got a lot of work done. But I would agree
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: with you. And DJ James was one guy in particular,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I thought he really flashed that first day when he
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: was with the you in with Alex Austin with Gonzo
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: out in, Carlton Davis out, but I thought he kind
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: of flattened out a little bit the last couple of days.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: He was right back there today, including one rep against
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs which really caught my eye. Not an easy
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: guy to keep track of, even in the red zone.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'd agree with that. I thought when the
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: offense was in the high red zoner right outside the
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: red zone, they were able to make some bigger plays
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: down the field, with Trevon Henderson highlighting the practice with
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: two big plays on linebackers in coverage, so when they
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: were outside it and they could throw it in from
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: like the twenty or twenty five. I thought the offense
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: found some success early on in the practice, but then
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: when they moved into the low red zone portion inside
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the ten yard line, the coverage, like Paul said, really
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: tightened up and DJ James had multiple good reps against
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: frontline players digs Kyle Williams, Kishan Boody. So it was
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a back and forth which is always good to see,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: but the defense seemed to win that later portion of
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: practice definitely.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Other back and forth they let's highlight though the final
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: play of practice it was a fourth down content the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: fourth about four yard line. Drake put it up, targeting
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Kayshawan Boody, DJ James Titan coverage. Nobody knows for sure
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: if he got both feet down. I think everybody said
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: he caught the ball. We still don't know. It was
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: one of those bang bang got to have it plays.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But overall, I think it highlighted just the level of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: competitiveness that continues to permeate through this camp. You know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: one more player, Paul I Gotta I have to highlights
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Javon Baker. We've talked a little bit about him playing
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: mostly with the second team, but at one period in
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: seven on seven where he had I think three straight
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: touchdown catches from Josh Dobbs. Also had a nice catch
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: in eleven Eleven's had to drop though I guess got
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: punched out of him later on another drive. So Javon
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Baker maybe a little bit behind the front line guys,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: but he seems like he's putting together a little bit
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe got a little bit of a push. I would
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: say he's been more active the last two or three
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: times we've seen practice than he had been previously. But
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the you know, the one that that I kind of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: take away allowing that one on the back line of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the end zone under the goal post knocked out. I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: think the play probably would have been a sack anyway,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: but that's of no consequence to the receiver catch the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: ball if the ball is thrown to you. But I
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: do think he made some plays today. He looked like
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: he had a little swagger to it as well during
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: that hat trick that you talked about in the seven
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: on seven. Yeah, so let's see this. I don't think
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: that anyone is really emerged beyond the guys that we've
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: been talking a lot about. You know, Diggs is clearly
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in a different class, and I think to Mario Douglas
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: has separated himself. Kaishan Boody continues to I think impress
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And that play that you were talking about, it was
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I think a fourth and three with about seventeen seconds
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to go. Matt grow was on the sideline standing right there.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: He called it a touchdown. Pretty much everybody else was
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: saying no good. I never really caught Rabel because Rabel
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: was making a lot of the calls. I don't know
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: if you guys could. Rabel was making a lot of
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: calls on some of the disputed plays along the side,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and he definitely caught the ball. We had a really
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: good look at it, but it was tough to tell
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: if you got the two feet in. Macro said he
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: did great catch by booty either way, I mean it
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: was an unbelievable catch.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a got to have it. It was
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: kind of a heave by Drake May into contested window.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: But Kasehan Boody, I thought we both kind of felt
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: like Deuce we were watching practice together, that he got
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: both feet and bounds and probably caught the ball, but
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: he would have needed to replay in the refs on
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: hand to the command center back in New York to
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: go ahead and look at that. But uh, glad you
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: mentioned Javon Baker because I just continue to feel like
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: his skill set is different than the other guys that
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: have been repping out on the field so far. Kyle
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Williams a little smaller speed receiver plays on the outside
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: booty not quite the athletic specimen that Baker is. So
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I just I look at Javon Baker and I see
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: that back shoulder fade that he caught from Josh Dobbs
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: early on in practice, and his ability to go up
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and get the ball outside his frame and adjust to
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: it and box another defender out, and those types of
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: things are maybe just a little bit different than some
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: of the other X receiver options that they have. So
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I agree. I think he's making a little bit of
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: a push here, and I'm curious to see if he
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: starts to get some reps with Drake May and the ones.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do a Kicker update, Paul. It was eight
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: kicks today and I think all eight of them went through.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: We thought they were all good. You confirmed from your
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: perch and you thought they look pretty good.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean my perch for whatever it's worth. But yeah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I thought in the stadium. I made a mentioned that
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: late in our podcast Friday night that I thought that
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: was a strong night for the Kickers. I think they
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: took that into today's practice because you know, I've sort
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: of been nitpicky a little bit about even some of
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the makes haven't looked great. Well, that hasn't been the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: case now for two or three practices. Today I thought
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: they went both of them are perfect, four for four
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and they all look to be right down the middle.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was no doubt in my view about
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: any of them, and they're continuing to stretch out the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: distance too. It's usually ends in around fifty to fifty
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: two yards, so not like they're all just making chip shots.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was an extremely close competition at this point.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And I know some people hear that and say, oh,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: it was a sack round pick, like you would want
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the sixth round pick to beat out Parker Romo. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: this isn't like they're both like been men like one
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: guy is just this is both guys have just been
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: nails like for like multiple practices at this point.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I think Mike said at the beginning of practice sometimes
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: they're both nineteen for twenty one going in, so do
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the math. It's what twenty three for twenty five at
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: this point. Yeah, I think it's a good problem to have.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: You have two options and both guys seem to be
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: kicking well.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I do wonder if it comes down to little things
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: like kickoffs and like you know, some of the other
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: minutia that goes into kicking that maybe it comes down
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: to in the end, because both guys have been accurate,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: so it's not an accuracy thing, but maybe you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: one has a little bit more leg or one's a
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: little bit better on the kickoffs, or whatever the case
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: may be.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Let's get through some housekeeping stuff. Two days off, Yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: had a couple guys return. Gret Bradberry was back there
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: at center, right back into that top center spot. Antonio Gibson,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: who had missed a practice or two, he was out
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: back out there. Mike Fabel saying before practice that kender
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Porn got rolled up on in the scrimmage. We saw
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: him leave Friday night. He was not out there. Carlton
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Davis was out there, continues to kind of do some
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: warm ups and then doesn't really participate in He went
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: down the lower periods. Yeah, and Fanarian Low last remaining
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: guy off the pew p list, so he was out
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: there participating as well. The one that was kind of
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a bummer though for I think all of us, Hey Levon,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Chase On not out there. I'd seen something late when
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I was going back through Twitter on Friday night that
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: somebody said he left. I did not see that Friday night,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: but he was not out there either. He's had a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: great camp. That's one of those disappointing ones where a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: guy seems like he's putting good days together and then
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he seems to get injured.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I I cautioned to read too much
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: into these. I know my colleagues liked to do this,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: but I did see him out there, and to me,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that's sometimes and up, you know, and sort of an
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: indication that it's not overly serious. He's out there, he's
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: not necessarily rehabbing the whole time. He was out on
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the practice fields, at least late in the practice I
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: saw him. So yeah, hopefully it's not something I'll keep
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: himut too long. I agree with you. I think he's
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: had a great camp.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Two more things touch on ev here. A couple guys
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: work harded off today, Jacquel and Roy, as well as
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Marcellus Dial who was down for a little while. Unfortunate
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: for him. He's had a pretty good camp. We did
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: see Morgan Moses left about I don't know, three quarters
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of the way through practice. Hard to tell if that
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: has to do with the pitch count that he's been on,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: but either way, it opened up an opportunity suddenly Marcus Bryant,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the rookie they're at right tackle, getting some snaps with
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the first team towards the end. I don't know exactly
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: what that means, but that's a little bit of a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: new twist on the offensive line.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's keep it on that because that's the positive
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: to take away. The negative is there's been some injuries
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and I and look this day and age in the NFL,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: some of these things, they're just bumps and bruises that
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: they are careful with some of the veteran players, you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Morgan Moses, for example, Carton Davis who's around and is
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: doing some warm ups and doing some individual and then
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: kind of going and rehabbing. So like, I'm not overly
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: worried about you know, those guys, Gonzo, Like, I think
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: those guys are on a plan and there's something you
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: know to that. But Marcus Bryant, you mentioned him the
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: first day that I've seen him take reps at right
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: tackle with the ones over Tray Jacobs as the top
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: backup to Morgan Moses there at right tackle. No disrespect
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: whatsoever to Tray Jacobs, but that's a draft pick that
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: you just used in the seventh round on a really
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: toolsy tackles, A big, tall, a really good athlete played
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: left tackle at Missouri opposite of armand Membu who went
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: in the first round and played right tackle. So if
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Marcus Brian makes a push here and ends up being
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: your third tackle, I think that's a positive development. A
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: lot like Will Campbell and Jared Wilson starting would be
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: a positive development. You're trying to raise the floor of
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: that room and raise the talent level of that room.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: And if Marcus Bryant's a little bit better than Trey
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Jacobs are a little bit better than Vederian Lowe as
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: your swing tackle, that's a positive. And we know he
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: can play the left side because he did it in college,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: so if he can flip back and forth another positive.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: All right, well, we're going to gear up for joint
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: practices on Wednesday, probably a walk through tomorrow. They set
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the stage for that. If you're around though, If you're
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: able to make it down here for joint practice, it's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: definitely recommend it. But if not, you can tune into
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Patriots on Filtered. We'll be live from training camp and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: if you can't listen to that, tune into the campcast.
