Training Camp-Cast 7/28: Pats in Pads, Red Zone Focus , CB Leaves Early, Full Day 5 Recap · Patriots Unfiltered

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Day five of Patriots training camp, and the pads came on,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the heats back up, the intensity picked up as well.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: We're here to break it all.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Down for you.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Ready to the Patriots training camp cast. We were coming
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to you from the side that you let stadium high
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: above the practice fields, where the Patriots just completed about
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: an hour and a half session fully padded for the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: first time this summer. Intensity picked up a little bit,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: got into team drills. They started out at the high thirties.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: They worked their way in towards the goal line a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: little bit. Uh finally, Paul little something more to chew
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on as the pads came on.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of running game work, and I'm gonna
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: just sort of step aside make way because I know
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: this is where my boy Evan likes to shine with
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: the trenches reports. But I did think there was some
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: good physicality on both sides of the line.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: That was great.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: If you were going crazy, I'll practice you live for
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: this stuff.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: This is it right here.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Let's start with one on ones because we can't get
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to team periods until we did.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Our live showed. I tried to tear up the boss
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: man says, no, we're not.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Going to with the very perfectly executed wamblock by Brock
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Lampy right in the A gap.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: It was beautiful and.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: I saw that, I was like, hell, yeah, real football
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: is back.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: We're talking.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: We're talking real football, of course, But like I said,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: everything started off with some one on ones down there.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We were all trying to focus on the offensive line
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and the defensive line because that's has a little bit
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: more I guess application to real football slightly other than
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the poor cornerbacks trying to cover the receivers down here
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: at the other end. But overall, just what was your
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: big takeaway from watching those one on ones as we
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: got started.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm sure a lot will be made about the
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: rep with Keon White against Will Campbell where Keon did
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: get the better of Campbell there, But I know you
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: want to do one on ones, but I'd want to
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: just mention that once we got to team Campbell looked
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: a whole lot better than he did in that one rep.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: So we'll get to that in the second.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: But overall, I thought the offensive line held its own
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: in that drill.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I thought mike On Winn, who had a nice win.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Cole Strange had a nice win on Milton Williams that
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: caught the eye as well, and even City So put
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: a guy.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: On the ground have had the best individual rep. Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: So I thought that they held their own there. You know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: a couple wins there for a chase on. I mentioned
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: the one by Keon White against Campbell. But it was
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: good to see those drills. And I actually not to
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: fingerwag the people that are watching the other stuff, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: the on line D line stuff has real translation to games,
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: whereas there's not a very whole lot of instances where
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: corners are truly on an absolute island with no safety
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: help and no pass rush and nothing whatsoever.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: For those wide receivers.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: But the on line D line stuff, that's translatable stuff
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: to the to the actual eleven on eleven.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought the lines might both the first dance
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: second groups that we got to see. I thought they'd
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: consistently moved the line of scrimmage. I thought there was
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: some push in the run. Game wasn't all perfect, but
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I agree with them, and I thought once they got
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: into team periods, all of those guys collectively looked better.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it felt to me a little bit like a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: continuation of Saturday, just as far as the back and forth,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: some competitiveness we saw, you know, some of the plays,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the defense getting some stops in the backfield, and Gibil
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Peppers made made out a little pop that stood out
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: even up here as well. But once things did get
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: into team periods, we were looking at first and second downs,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: like I said, starting into the high red zone and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: then they worked their way down. Paul, just what did
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you take away from from some of those drills as well?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: So, like I said, I thought the run game was
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: pretty solid.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I thought Stevenson had a couple of runs that looked
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: like to me he might have been able to get
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: into the end zone under normal circumstances. Trevion Henderson a
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: little bit less so, but his quickness is hard to miss.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: He had one really nice cutback on a play that
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: you know, I didn't think there was much there initially,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and he made a nice cut to it. So I
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: did think that the run game, I will point out
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: before people start to get well, the offensive line had
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: a better day.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: The pass protection is still a work in progress.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, still a working a lot of running today.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: We can get to that in a second. But I
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: just got a gush about well Campbell for a second.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: I thought in the team periods he was just outstanding.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, just moving the line of scrimmage, caving guys
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: in on down blocks.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Executing combos.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: A Remondre cut right off his left hip for what
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: we thought was probably a touchdown watching it from up here,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: he got Milton Williams once or twice on the ground.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: You know, that's that's pretty hard to do. So we
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: knew coming into this elite run blocker in college, maybe
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: a little bit more seasoning necessary in pass pro. And
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: I think that's held serve here through the first five
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: days of camp for Will Campbell. His run blocking stuff
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: might he might already be great at that, Like that
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: might be right out of the gate a strength of his.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: And I thought that he was really terrific throughout the
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: entire team period. I mean, this is your first padded
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: practice and you're already putting frontline NFL players into the ground.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: That's a really good sign.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited to see that once we progress into third,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: third down territory, and then we've got a little bit
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: more of what might be the challenges towards Will Campbell guys.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: A number of housekeeping things we got to bring up.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Of course, the headline from this practice was sorry, Christian
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Gonzalez limped off, did not return for practice, did go
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: under his own power, wasn't carted off, but never a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: great sign to see your number one cornerback go down
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like that and not finish practice.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously cause for concern when you get you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: frontline guys like that that don't make it through practice.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Evidently was the first playoff team. We kind of didn't
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: really see the rep. I think he went against Booty
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: in the one on ones that didn't go really well,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: and then you know right away on the first team REP.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: He didn't practice the rest of the way.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: So that's something that we're gonna have to keep an
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: eye on it, you know, if it's he was grabbing
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: his legs, so we don't want to speculate what the
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: injury is. We'll just have to keep an eye on that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But some good news in the injury front. Mike's guy
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Jalen Polk made it back on the field today. Caught
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: a touchdown pass and one of the red zone drills
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: very late from Drake May.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So he's back in uniform.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Josh Minkins is a was one of the rookie safeties
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: on NFI. He also was back in uniform, so some
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: good and bad. Obviously, Gonzalez is going to be the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: story of the day, though I know people are going
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: to lose their minds over it. Let's sort of hold
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: back on that and wait to get more information.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it did look like he was maybe grabbing at
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: the back of his leg a little bit in like
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: a hamstring area. I know, we don't want to speculate
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: too much, but that, to me, even though those things
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: can linger a little bit, is the best case scenario.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Like it wasn't It didn't look like it was a
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: major injury to my from my perspective because of that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: But we'll see what happens with him and without him
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: and Carlon Davis out there. You know, there was some
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: depth issues there at corner, So Alex Austin stepped up
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Marcella's dial, who I actually thought had a really nice
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: practice out of here that was very active.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: In the run.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Physical, physical guy in the run, not.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Playing in that Nickel spot, which I think is interesting
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: just from a body type perspective, a little bit bigger,
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: a little bit more physical than a Marcus Jones. Marcus
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Jones was also out there as well, so it seemed
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: like it was a lot of Austin dial Marcus Jones.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: After Gonzill left practicing with no day we didn't have Davis.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well you guys mentioned it. Davis kind of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a day on day off. We haven't really seen him
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: since the walkthrough, so Cole Davis is still dealing with something,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: even though coming off that FI list at Juvalani Tavai
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: who left practice on Saturday, he was not active, might
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: have had a step back from the calf injury that
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: he suffered. Otherwise, kind of similar rotations just to say,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: along the offensive line with Morgan most Is coming in,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Garrett Bradbury coming in at the start, and then Jared
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Wilson as well as Tray Jacobs getting some work. So
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: those rotations continue getting not a ton of work all
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: first and second down in the red zone, but they
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: got the pads on. The last thing I want to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: bring up, guys, is just an interesting development in the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Kicker competition, if you want to call it that. Parker
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Romo getting all of the reps today, all I believe
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: was six total reps and he made them all, and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: he made all six of them. So Borgalis on the sideline,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: maybe watching a little bit, maybe trying to ratchet up
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the pressure a tiny bit on the rookie. But interesting
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: opportunities for Romo today.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, ranging from a bout thirty three to fifty two yards,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: So they weren't all little chip shots. You know, you
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: start at that extra point level, you work your way out.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: All you can do is make the kicks that you try.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's been I don't think there's been
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: a ton of reps for either kicker, but the ones
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: that they've had, I think Romo has been the more
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: accurate guy so far.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if tomorrow is a
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Andy Borgollas day and they kind of go that direction
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: with it instead of splitting the reps because you only
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: have so much time to work on field goal and
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: special teams. So maybe it's six today for Romos, six
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: tomorrow for Bergalis and they go that way the rest
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: of the way.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Can we talk about the fullback.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Again though, or please go if you want to work
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: while more referencing, go ahead, brock Lampy.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: The brock Lampy was out there leading the way full back.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Just a couple of other guys quickly that stood out
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: on in the trenches.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: I thought that Caden Wallace had a few nice blocks.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Had left guard, and he's been working prenominantly at guard
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: in this camp and not much at tackles. So the
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: left guard competition, I would say right now, it's between
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Cole Strange, Caden Wallace, and potentially Jared Wilson as well.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Jared Wilson had another issue with a snap with Drake
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: May and so maybe.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know if center, you know, centers a lot
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: on you. You got to snap the ball, you gotta be
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: have it between the ears.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Maybe guard is the way on the field for him,
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: faster than center at this point. And then I thought
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Chason was really active in this practice too. On the
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: line of scrimmage, I had him down for two sacks.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: I got Morgan Moses on one, which is a little
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: bit on my radar with Moses, but I thought Chason
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: looked nice out there.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Well, yeahs saw Chase on after practice working with Trey
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Jacobs a little bit, given us some tips about you know, pats,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: just a reminder. You know, Jacob's only, I guess in
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: his third season here, so still developing.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: So we are on to.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: The second week I guess of training camp. Well, we're
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: gonna call it, but pads are staying on for tomorrow
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: as well as Wednesday, so there's gonna be plenty more
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to digest.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Stick with us.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: We'll wrap up all of these practices for the Patriots
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Training Camp cast. Hey this is Deuce. Thanks for tuning
