  Speaker 1: This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Patriots Training Camp.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I do still watch the news.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: have you covered well, I miss yesterday now here to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: review today's practice. The writers of Patriots dot com and that.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Would be the entire crew of the writing team of
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Patriots dot com, Evan Lazar, Mike Desol, Paul Parola with
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: you after the in stadium night practice on day nine
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: here at Jillette Stadium, and I would say the biggest
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: news of the night was off the field as practice
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: was getting underway, a report from Adam Schefter. I believe
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: he was the first to have it about a contract
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: adjustment for Matthew Judon, so which definitely makes a lot
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: of sense based on what we saw during camp every
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: single day with Judon doing very little out there, he
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: gets a couple extra million in the coffers, which I
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: think he is, you know, certainly deserving of. After practice,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: we got to hear from Jack Jones for the first
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: time of the summer, So we'll get to that later.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: In between I'm gonna let you guys tell everybody what happened.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Well, it was a White vers Blue quasi scrimmage. I mean,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure exactly what you would put it in,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: yes scrimmage and quotes.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I used quotes in my blogs a number of times
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that half scrimmage.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: It's kind of just a dry run of a game
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: without the competition portion of it and just getting used
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to the flow of the game. And you know, I
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: think they threw a couple of situations at them. All right,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: that kick was missed, now we're here, you know, those
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: kind of things. So not a lot to probably take
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: from the in stadium practice, but a nice cap to
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the week. I think six straight days of practices. They're
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: going to be off tomorrow and get a little break
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: and then and then you kind of turn the page
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: to the preseason on Sunday and start getting ready of Panthers.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: So on the field, I don't know, not too much
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: to take away. Maybe the kickers, Evan, what do you got.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, specialists, I think is always a big one. And
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I know it's crazy, but trust me when I tell you,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: when you're in the stadium and there's even just a
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: little bit of stakes of being in front of a crowd,
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: I'm sure Bill Belichick is keeping tally of a Chad
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Ryland versus Nick Folk and the punters and all that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Bryce Berenger had some boomers tonight, a sixty five yard
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: punt over five seconds of hangtime and another one earlier
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: that was over five seconds in hang time. So there's
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: absolutely no question that that guy can punt the football.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: The question really is is consistency, because we've seen some
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: punts where shanks it a little bit, and then other
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: punts where he can flip the field like he did tonight.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Chad Ryland did miss from about forty five yards, but
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: he made his other kicks, and Nick Folk was perfect.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Both of them had a weird false start snap issue
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: happened to them, so I'm kind of throwing those kicks out.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: But I still consistently see a much bigger leg much.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: It just looks fresher coming off Chad Ryley.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think this much doubt, but I did think
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: that it was something to keep an eye on first
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: time in the stadium. I think Evan's right. I think,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you know, Bill likes that sort of environment to add
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a little juice. I thought it was interesting that most
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of the kicks came toward the you know, the cloth
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the old closed and I was gonna say the close ed,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: but now they both closed, you know, away from the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: new larger video board. And uh yeah, there was a
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: couple that Rylan missed. One was definitely thrown off kilter
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: by the movement up front of the line and whatnot.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But I bring it up only because it gave me
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: some PTSD to justin Rollwasser. It did low line drive
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that was kind of spinning sideways, fell short into the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to the left. Was not good, but I don't think
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that was necessarily on him. I agree with Evan that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the leg is definitely stronger than nick Folk, and Folk
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: was as normal. He made everything.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and just you know, I could comment on Jude
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: on too, because I guess this is kind of the
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: new normal with the hold ends and this is what
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: it kind of looks like. You know, I think this
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: is what you got to keep in mind when you
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: know guys are going through this. Certainly not everybody, but
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: there was a lot of speculation of what was going on,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and that is what's going on.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Hold in not getting I think, so, you know, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: again you know, they they're not going to come right
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: out and admit that. But Stefan Gilmour never did either,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and I would go to my grave thinking that he
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: did that a couple of years ago as well.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: And it's an easy to kind of hide it because
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: he's such an important player and they don't really have
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: much depth behind him, so it's easy to kind of
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: make that leap in your mind, like, well, maybe they're
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: just protecting him. But it's good news, and I hope
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: to see Judon out there and involved and getting in
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: shape and getting ready for the season. But I also
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: am okay if they continue to manage him a little bit.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Ye, So go ahead.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: No.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: I just think my line for Judon was the first
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: joint practice in Green Bay. I didn't really care if
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: he practices in the practices here, but he's got to
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: have some sort of competition to get the cobwebs off
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: at some point. And I think that that that was
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: back to back weeks. They wanted to get something done.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: They maybe even got down a little bit early to
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: have him practice next week. I think he'll be out
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: there practicing. But a guy that only Nick Bosa and
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Miles Garrett have more sacks than Matthew Judon since he
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: signed with the Patriots two years go, and I think
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: you look at that locker room. If they're not going
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: to take care of Judon, then who are they going
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: to take care of. I think it's somebody that they
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: got to make sure, just for locker room morale that
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: when you're back to back Pro Bowls amongst the leaders
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: in Zack fifteen and a half sacks last year, you
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: got to reward some people for that type of effort.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let him wet his beak a little bit, as
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: they say, Mike. So with the Jack Jones situation, he
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: took a very limited amount of questions at the end
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: of the practice. I thought he did a good job
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: of just sort of handling himself. You know, he just
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: talked about, you know, wants to be on the football field,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and when he's out there, it's all about what he's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: supposed to do, when he wants to make sure he's
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: doing whatever he needs to do for the team. He
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: was asked about his version of the events that night.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: He said that that was a question for his lawyer,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: which I think is the absolute right answer from the
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: player perspective there. And then you know, someone I think
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: asked him if he was surprised to still be part
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of the team or no, sorry, if he expects to
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: be part of the team in twenty twenty three, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: he said that, well, that's that's going to be up
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to code. That's coaches call. And you know, he's again
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: just doing whatever he's supposed to do to make sure
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: he's ready to be part of this team. And he
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: was asked, I know that we was sort of like
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a short amount of questions. But he was also asked
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: about the incident that took place at practice on Thursday,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and he really didn't get into it. Just that's just football, man,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you know, And that was that was big. I thought
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: he did a nice job. I mean, under the circumstances.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Not an easy situation, right for a young guy in
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the crosshairs. He's got to balance the legal elements of
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: this as well as everything else. I thought he did
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a good enough job. And you know, I think you
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: face the music and maybe you won't have to do
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: it again for a while. Yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: So, I mean still has big questions with him. Is
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: he going to be available. He's a good player. I
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: mean I think he can definitely play. He could definitely
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: help this team. And so it's just disappointing. You know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: we knew what he was dealing with legally, then to
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: have that event yesterday happen, it's just it's kind of
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: adding to the uncertainty of Jack Jones. And you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: he said he didn't know, and I don't know what's
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: going to happen with him right now. And obviously he's
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: got legal things coming up in August as well that
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: could have something to do with it. So I guess
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: we just kind of wait and see. And you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Bolden kind of playing a little well, came up
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: with an interception at the end. I know it doesn't
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: mean anything, but I think he's just been one guy
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: who maybe has benefited a little bit from Jack Jones's
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: reduced reps.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some reps, absolutely, Yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, just to spin it to football
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: with Jack Jones, you look at what happens when he's
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: not out there to that outside cornerback depth, and I
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: think you are talking about Isaiah Bolden or maybe even
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: moving Jalen Mills back the corner because they don't have
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: much size if that's if he's not in there, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I know he's not the biggest guy, but He's at
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: least five eleven six foot, so's a little bit bigger
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: than a Jonathan Jones or Marcus Jones. And those two
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: guys being on the field a lot with five eight,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: five nine corners all over the place, and Miles Bryant's
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: a smaller guy too. So I look at Isaiah Bolden
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: and see a much bigger guy, a guy that can
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: really run four to three speed. He can return kickoffs,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: play on special teams. You know, a couple of different
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: things there that he can do to make himself valuable
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: as a fifth corner. I thought the best play that
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: he's had in camp was punching the ball out from
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Devonte Parker. I think that was yesterday or the day
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: before Thursday or Wednesday, and you know, just one of
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: those late punchouts where Parker looked like he caught it
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: and then he went to go bring it down and
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Bolden punched it out and forced the incompletion. So he's
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: made some plays. He's played a little bit with the
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: with the high end twos. I wouldn't call it ones,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: but high end twos. And we'll see what happens with
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Isaiah Bolden.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and those two guys him and speed a mere
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: speed great, Uh, you know, projections to special teamers with
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: their with their just their measurables, uh, and obvious athleticism.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: So that's gonna do it for tonight. Uh, Mike, you
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: put the preview on it. Sunday, they'll be back at it,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: uh with practice at one o'clock. It's supposed to be
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: now Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and that'll put it into the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: public portion of training camp. So it's amazing how quickly
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: these days go. But that's day nine. The books
