Training Camp-Cast 8/4: Fifth Straight Practice in Pads, Offense and Defense Trade Punches, Injury Updates · Patriots Unfiltered

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Patriots are back in pads again, fifth straight practice in
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: six days. For them, things are getting tough out there.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: The offensive defense continue to trade punches. Let's get into it.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Patriots Training Camp cast, presented by New Balanced.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: That's right, folks, were back again to break down the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: ninth practice of the summer.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: The fifth in pads. Fifth and six days too.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: You feel like starting to stack up a little bit
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: back and forth, though, I feel like early on ev
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you have some downfield plays.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Now it feels a lot more like the defense. Stuff's
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: a run, the offense makes a little pass.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: You know. It just seems like it's a lot.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: More tightly contested here in camp, almost like the two
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: sides are kind of getting used to each other a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree that maybe they've seen a lot
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: of the same color out there and you're starting to
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: predict plays and things like that. That's this time of year.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: But you mentioned five days out of six in pats.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: You know, really five straight practices in pads with an
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: off date in there. They'll be, you know, walk through tomorrow.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: But this is as far as this time of year,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: and like this iteration of NFL training camp, this is
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: about as intense as it gets.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: This is training camp right now. This is the training camp.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: I was trying to think of the best way to
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: put it, because we don't really do training camp like
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: they used to anymore. Poly So this is about as
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: intense as it gets in terms of the number of
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: padded practices. So it's been a tough camp, and I
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: think that the intensity has definitely been there as well.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: And it's hot and they're hitting a lot, and it's
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: good to see. I think it's a team that's coming
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: off a loss in the Super Bowl that doesn't want
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: to be the classic Super Bowl hangover a team.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: And I do wonder, you know, and this might may
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: be a question that we can talk to Mike about
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: later on, but for all the success they had last year,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: they did get off to a slow start, and I
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: wonder if maybe it was a conscious effort, you know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: maybe we weren't quite as prepared as we needed to
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: be to start the season. And this is something to
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: remedy to that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, a couple of things I wrote down today
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: im and it felt to me a little bit star
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: for the offense, felt a little clunky, not a lot
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of passes being completed seems like Drake I mean, they're
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: throwing a lot of zero blitzes at him in practices,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and there are times where they're bailing out too, but
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it seems like they're continuing to get the offense on
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: some of those blitzes that we know were a big
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: part of the Patriots defense last year. But the end
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of the practice, more eleven work, a two minute dro
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: felt like they found their stride a little bit on offense.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: They're coming from everywhere on defense right now. I mean
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: they're bringing safeties, they're bringing linebackers. Gonzales came on a
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: corner blitz that would is stuff to.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Run as well.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: They're really dialing it up, you know, different pass rush fronts,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: you know, double mug things like that, and there's a
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: lot going on up front right now. And I think
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: it's good work for Drake May and in the running
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: backs and everybody involved because this is kind of what
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: got them in the playoffs, especially in the Super Bowl
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: last year, and I think they're going to keep seeing
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: more and more of it until they prove that they
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: can block it. So whether it's Drake May getting everybody
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: on the same page, the running backs picking up blitzes
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: and being in the right positions. I think that's all
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: good work for them. But what it does lead to
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: is the ball's coming out quick. So we're not seeing
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: a lot of Drake may downfield magic right now because
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: it's third down and six and the ball's got to
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: come out because there's a free runner coming at him.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: But we know we can throw the ball down the field.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: So I guess maybe this is more of what you
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: want to see in practice.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little back and forth, and you know, I
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: think Mike did a good job of sort of explaining that,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: you know, the Patriots can never have a good practice
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: because someone is going to feel, you know, better about
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: what happened on a particular play or a particular period
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: than the other side of the ball. I think there's
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: been a lot of back and forth. I think I
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: wrote yesterday just so it was sort of one of
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: those punch CounterPunch kind of days. I thought today was
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: a little like that too. I agree with Evan. I
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: thought a lot of running in checkdowns, you know, blitz beaters,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, trying to get the hot receiver quickly.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Didn't have a lot of time. But then you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: as the practice on Foldia was funny because I thought
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: that was what the case was with Drake May. When
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: DeVito gets out there, all of a sudden, it's bombs away.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: So you know, maybe it's a little bit of a
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: different defensive look and that's allowing for those plays to
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: get off deeper down the field.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, two's and guys that maybe aren't as
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: familiar with the system, and even the new guys in
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: this system right now, it's Kevin Byerd who's been in
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: the defense for a decade, so it's not like he's
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: new to the defense.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: So Davino had a hell of a practice.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Honestly, he had some of the best downfield completions of
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: the day for sure.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: One to Booty, one to mac Hollins.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know we don't want him to play
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: no offense, but like it was a good practice, I.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Would say, though. You know, I spent some time yesterday
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: talking up an undrafted rookie cornerback named Channing Canada. Well,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I said was around the ball a lot. He was
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: around the ball a lot today too, Only the guy
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: that he was around was the guy catching the pass
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: generally deep down the field. He struggled today. Yeah, in
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: some of those plays with the ones Evan's talking about,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Mac Collins got him, Kaysehon Booty got him a couple
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: of times, so you know, a little back and forth.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good day for Booty. Had a couple catches aj
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Brown again. No worse for Whear after dislocating his thumb yesterday,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he was.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Right back in there. A couple of housekeeping things too,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you know. Still no Carlton Davis.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: That's been the most extended absence, Jack Westover, Reggie Gilliam,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: perhaps full back, a lot of short yard is yesterday.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: A lot of collisions for him, not surprising. He's maybe
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: getting a day of rest. Still no Kayden Wallace. And
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: we saw Morgam Mooses for the first time. Wasn't at
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the beginning of practice. And then right before team rolled around,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: here comes Morgan Moses up the hill. Good to see
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: him out there. But they're managing his workload. One last
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: thing I want to bring up, guys, and we haven't
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: really talked about it, and that's probably a good thing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: It's just Andy Boorgallis. They ran a two minute drill
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: today again like a maybe fifty two yard or so
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to end it. Nailed it. But he's been really consistent
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: with his kicks.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: We've had so many kicker competitions here, We've had rookie
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: kickers come in and it just doesn't look right. It's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: kind of a breath of fresh air to just have
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a kicker come in and be really consistent. And there's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: really you know, I have no concerns right now about
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Andy Boorgolis going into this season.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: He's he's been locked down since the start of his
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: rookie season. He has really not given anyone much reason
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: to doubt him.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, nice little two minute drill from Drake May. I thought,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: you know, past to Henry and the flat move, the
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: chains on third down with Pop Douglas against Marcus Jones
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and the slot. The big one was the dig the
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Hollins in the middle of the field. Some completions there
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: to get them down the field, and they probably had
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: one more play that they could have ran, but he
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: ran the clock down and spiked it and I'll.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Save it for Patriots unfiltered. I want to get into
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: that one.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe you can test Andy a little bit, make
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: him kick one from fifty plus instead of you know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: a shorter field goal there. But I thought that the
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: operation in the two minute drill was relatively smooth. He
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: had one incompletion to Romeo Dobbs he'd probably want back,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: but for the most part, not not too shabby on
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: the two minute drill.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: First time.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: I think we've seen like a true.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: So hands off, coaches to the side, two minutes on
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: the clock and we're.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Going to run a real two minute drill.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, Patriot's probably gonna downshift now after these
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: five padded practices, were expecting a walk through tomorrow, a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: close practice on Thursday, and then fans will be welcome
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: back on Friday. I think that will be a pad
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: one so times running out, folks, if you can get
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: down here, Friday will be the next day to do so.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And then of course next Tuesday joint practices of the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts should be a great take. But we'll be
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: back this week to break down whatever they're doing with
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: these training camp casts.
