Training Camp-Cast 8/4: Day 8 Recap, Offense Ramps Up, Defense Continues to Make Plays · Patriots Unfiltered

  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. Well, I do still watch the news.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: have you covered what I miss yesterday? Now here to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: review today's practice? The writers of Patriots dot com all right,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: day eight of practice in the books for the Patriots.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It was a hot one out there. They were back
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in full pads. Another eventful session, I would say, but
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: kind of a little bit maybe more of the same.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Paul Perlo, Is that how you might put it? Yeah?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I thought there was a little bit more production offensively
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: than we've seen in most days, but still not where
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: they want to be in terms of overall execution. The
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: running game still is sort of stuck in neutral, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I think the passing game remains erratic. But I would say,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: on the flip side of that, the defensive front continues
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to sort of, you know, have its way with the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: offensive line. So depending on what you want to say,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: is what you look and four you know that I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: think you know the guys up front on defensive have
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: gotten the job done. Yeah, certainly, Christian Barmore getting plenty
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of attention. Although Matthew Judon was not at practice today,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: perhaps just a veteran day off. But Evan Lazarre, what
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: stood out to you today? What was your headline takeaway?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I thought, and we've talked about this on various shows
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: at times, when they got into that, you know, Mac
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and the gun three wide, you know, sort of his
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: spread looks or whatever you want to call it, passing situations,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it started to look a little bit more like last
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: year in the passing game, with a little bit more rhythm,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and that was what some of the better plays that
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we saw out there today came out of those style
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of formations that the cold system problem that we continue
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to see is the new elements, the new wrinkles that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: they're installing into the scheme. They just are nowhere near
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: good enough at those right now. I guess the only
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: way you can put it, you know, it's just disjointed.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think everybody fully knows where they're supposed to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: be and when, and the rhythm and the timing of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it seems completely off. So you wonder, at one point
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in time do they start to think about, maybe this
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: isn't what's best for us. It's certainly not three padded
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: practices in But if we get to Vegas and this
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: still doesn't look any better against the Raiders enjoying practices
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: out there, at what point in time do they start
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to go back to the drawing board, because right now
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the new stuff that they're trying to install into this
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: scheme is still extremely inconsistent. A little bit more situational
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: work today as well. We had the music playing as
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: well as a helicopter flying practice. But we'll get that.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We'll let that one slide, you know, for but uh yeah,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I thought, you know, and Bill talked about it off
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the top more you know, in field situational you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the teams on the sideline, so it's really eleven guys
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: on the field, the coaches are on the side, the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: players on the side, down in distance work some of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So a little bit more I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: would say that's a step forward in terms of actual
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: football today. And it was a little bit of a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: slow ramp up because the they sort of got together
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: against like scout team looks and kind of walked it
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: through and then they had two, you know, two pretty
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: significant periods of team play at the end, and one
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: one item of note I thought was Bailey Zappy. Even
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: with Brian Horrier back, Zappy continues to take the second reps.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: As you know, Horrier with five days off, you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit more time to get reacclimated. Yeah. I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: should mention too that after missing yesterday, Malcolm Butler and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Jibrill Peppers were back out there in full pads, so
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: whatever they were dealing with didn't seem too major. However, unfortunately,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it appears we had our first significant injury of training
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: camp with Jilani Tavai going down. And I think, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I think he's a little bit an underrated player, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I think Evan that could be you know, a little
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: bit of a blow just to the linebacker depth when
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you look at guys who are actually experienced in the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: NFL that they have on the roster. Yeah. Bill Belichick
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: was singing his praises the other day on Sirius XM.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It sounds like they think he's going to play a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: pretty regular role for them this year. Maybe on defense too,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: but certainly on special teams. So somebody that, like you said,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the depth the kicking game, those are areas where Belichick
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: will go on long soliloquy is about how if you
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: lose a guy on special teams, it actually creates four
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: holes and then you gotta go and replays four different
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: spots like that soundrew here is my eyes rolling that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: That's something that Gilanni Tavie might open up if he
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: is out for a long period of time. Yeah, there's
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: no I mean that in all serious. Just that is,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: those guys fill a lot of roles, and sometimes you
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: don't have a guy that fills each of those. You
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: might have four different guys that fill each individual role. Yeah,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: it's unfortunately just of course, you never like to see,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you know, guys getting hurt and otherwise not really a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: ton that that stood out more offensive kind of struggles.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: A couple plays here and there, but overall struggling to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: string it together. Defensive line continues to be disruptive, which
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: is great. We are tomorrow night inside the stadium for
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: kind of what Bill Belichick termed as like a game day,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you know, going through the motions, understanding where to be.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So we're not expecting too much to happen tomorrow night.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: We will be back though with the camp cast, just
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to recapy in case anything important happens. Paul, one more thing,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: just want to add Matthew Judon was not part of
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: practice today, fairly significant player. We'd probably make sure we
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: get him included. Did I not say that we've lost
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: track after all the talk and we do? Yeah, Just
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: so you know, we just finished the regular PU, so
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that we're saying now is repetitives.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: We want to make sure that we get all that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: factual for the camp cast. But good plug for PU.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So if you're just listening to this, go over Patriots
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: on Filter. We just recorded that episode Thursday, so that's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: two hours of talk diving into everything from the first
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: week plus of camp. Otherwise, we will be back Friday
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: night with the camp cast and then practice picks back
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: up Monday. So until then, we will see you next
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: time on the camp cast. Thank you for downloading this podcast,
