Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: And we are off on Patriots training camp for twenty
- 0:02Speaker 1: twenty six. We're here to break down practice number one.
- 0:13Speaker 1: All right, the first practice is in the books and
- 0:15Speaker 1: we're here to break it down.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Guys.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Pretty exciting day.
- 0:18Speaker 4: I would say, you're already under the weather.
- 0:20Speaker 5: It's on the day, Day one. I spent the whole
- 0:23Speaker 5: night last night preparing for today.
- 0:25Speaker 6: So let's go. And now he's like all horse and
- 0:28Speaker 6: scratchy throat.
- 0:29Speaker 4: I can barely get it out. I'm just gonna lean into.
- 0:32Speaker 1: It for It'll get better as as we go.
- 0:34Speaker 6: Along, I promise.
- 0:35Speaker 2: But let's start with a little bit of news. Of course,
- 0:37Speaker 2: Gay Bacchus report that he had signed. We spent so
- 0:39Speaker 2: much time talking about him not being signed. Paul good sign.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Reports are he's gonna be here sooner than later.
- 0:44Speaker 6: Great news. Yeah.
- 0:45Speaker 5: Jordan Schultz reported, you know, the middle of the practice
- 0:48Speaker 5: that it looks like a four year deal he's signed sealed.
- 0:52Speaker 5: Hopefully we'll get to see him out on the field quickly.
- 0:55Speaker 5: You know, you never know how long it takes. I
- 0:58Speaker 5: think Mike Grabel has been pretty forthcoming with that. They
- 1:01Speaker 5: haven't really seen Acus, so they don't know what kind
- 1:04Speaker 5: of condition he is physically, but hopefully that can be
- 1:07Speaker 5: a shorter run up and you get them out on
- 1:09Speaker 5: the field and you know, pads next week. Hopefully by
- 1:12Speaker 5: that time, you know, we're starting to see and hear
- 1:14Speaker 5: from gay Acus.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Yeah, go Sunshine for a second.
- 1:17Speaker 4: Hopefully ten years from now we're talking about, Hey, remember
- 1:20Speaker 4: when gay Acus didn't sign his rookie contract right away
- 1:23Speaker 4: and there's a little hole out thing going on, and
- 1:26Speaker 4: now we're fitting.
- 1:26Speaker 3: Them for a red jacket Like who would have thought? Right?
- 1:29Speaker 3: Like that? That's what you hope.
- 1:30Speaker 4: Now, Paul brought up some of the injury stuff that
- 1:33Speaker 4: could still be lingering, and that's what I'm most interested
- 1:36Speaker 4: in now, you know. Mike Rabel on Friday said, well,
- 1:39Speaker 4: we haven't seen him, so we don't know if he's
- 1:41Speaker 4: one hundred percent healthy and ready to practice.
- 1:44Speaker 3: So now that they can get him in the building.
- 1:46Speaker 4: Does he end up on pup NFI something like that
- 1:49Speaker 4: or is he just out there you know, maybe on
- 1:51Speaker 4: Sunday and we're just ready to go. That's the hope.
- 1:54Speaker 4: But now that's the next domino to drop here. Is
- 1:57Speaker 4: he healthy and is he able to stay off one
- 2:00Speaker 4: of those lists?
- 2:01Speaker 2: Yes, we'll see when we see gave back a set
- 2:02Speaker 2: on our field.
- 2:03Speaker 1: The other part, Christian is as we're wondering if he
- 2:05Speaker 1: was kind of repeat what he did in mini camp,
- 2:06Speaker 1: which was individual drills, then would not have been a
- 2:08Speaker 1: team drills. But Paul, he was out there in team
- 2:10Speaker 1: drills as well. Maybe a sign of good faith that
- 2:12Speaker 1: maybe negotiations are head in the right direction.
- 2:14Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's positive.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Now.
- 2:15Speaker 5: This might be even better news if you ask me
- 2:18Speaker 5: that he was out there at first eleven on eleven rep.
- 2:20Speaker 5: He's got aj Brown locked up down the sideline. You know,
- 2:25Speaker 5: I would say a mediumish back shoulder fade, but he's
- 2:28Speaker 5: right there in Brown's pocket. He was doing eleven on
- 2:30Speaker 5: eleven work that we did not see during the spring.
- 2:33Speaker 5: So that's a really good sign. A lot of his
- 2:35Speaker 5: teammates were asked about what that meant, and they all
- 2:37Speaker 5: said the same thing, that he's a team first guy
- 2:39Speaker 5: and he wants to be here, and he's got all
- 2:41Speaker 5: the things that are.
- 2:41Speaker 6: Important football wise are important to him. Great sign.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Yeah, before practice, you know. Robert Kraft also said that
- 2:48Speaker 4: the Patriots have offered him a huge contract that would
- 2:50Speaker 4: reset the cornerback market, most biggest contract in Patriots history,
- 2:54Speaker 4: I think where the exact words as well. So hopefully
- 2:58Speaker 4: both sides are sort of getting to a negotiation point
- 3:02Speaker 4: where they might get a deal done.
- 3:03Speaker 3: So I was surprised.
- 3:05Speaker 4: I thought we were going to see a little bit
- 3:07Speaker 4: spring Gonzo that was going to be in positional drills,
- 3:11Speaker 4: maybe a walk through here and there, but not in
- 3:13Speaker 4: the full live eleven on eleven. So when he was
- 3:16Speaker 4: out there for that, I can't imagine that he would
- 3:19Speaker 4: be doing that this early in training camp if they
- 3:22Speaker 4: were worlds apart on a contract.
- 3:24Speaker 3: So hopefully that means they're getting closed.
- 3:26Speaker 7: So we move on to the field, not you know,
- 3:28Speaker 7: the most action packed practice you would assume the first
- 3:30Speaker 7: practice of training camp early down work, run work, Paul,
- 3:34Speaker 7: But you mentioned the first play aj Brown, Drake may
- 3:36Speaker 7: look in his way Christian Zalez and coverage kind of
- 3:39Speaker 7: you know, wasn't complete, but maybe a sign of what's
- 3:41Speaker 7: to come.
- 3:42Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think that you're going to see
- 3:44Speaker 5: those two, you know, hooking up quite often this summer.
- 3:48Speaker 5: But you know, one of the things that we saw
- 3:50Speaker 5: quite often last year was him looking deep down field
- 3:54Speaker 5: for Kishon Booty and you know, first time that they
- 3:57Speaker 5: looked his way diving catch, you know, and Booty's open
- 4:00Speaker 5: behind the coverage and I think looked like maybe a
- 4:03Speaker 5: zone like I don't know, it was hard to tell
- 4:05Speaker 5: Byered and Woodson was sort of over in that area.
- 4:07Speaker 5: But nice diving catch. Helmet pops off, certainly the biggest
- 4:12Speaker 5: reaction from the crowd today. A strong crowd too to
- 4:14Speaker 5: open it. Beautiful day, perfect conditions to open camp. But
- 4:18Speaker 5: Kayshawan Boody just continues to you know, you throwd me
- 4:21Speaker 5: the ball and I'm going to catch it, and you
- 4:23Speaker 5: guys can figure out where I fit into the offense.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great way to put it, because I
- 4:27Speaker 4: thought in the spring when he showed up for Mini
- 4:29Speaker 4: camp as well, right away he was catching passes down
- 4:32Speaker 4: the field just like he was last year. And I
- 4:34Speaker 4: saw him a few times line up inside the formation
- 4:36Speaker 4: in today's practice. So he's lining up everywhere. He's catching
- 4:39Speaker 4: bombs still from Drake May. So you know, this is
- 4:42Speaker 4: one that I've sort of flip flopped a little bit on,
- 4:45Speaker 4: like I'm getting a little bit warmer to the idea
- 4:47Speaker 4: of like let's just figure this out. Keep them, Yeah,
- 4:50Speaker 4: just keep them and we'll figure out a place to
- 4:51Speaker 4: play him and they'll move around, and you know, they'll
- 4:54Speaker 4: keep guys fresh by having four or five guys.
- 4:56Speaker 3: That you trust that can play.
- 4:58Speaker 4: I also thought Bob Douglas had it a couple of
- 5:00Speaker 4: catches today, smoked Mike Brown on one where they got
- 5:03Speaker 4: matched up into man.
- 5:04Speaker 3: In the slot.
- 5:05Speaker 4: So both those guys making plays out there today on
- 5:08Speaker 4: Day one.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Yeah, Romeo Dobbs, well, a couple of catches.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I mean, not a lot, you know, not a lot
- 5:11Speaker 1: exciting today, but he stood out.
- 5:13Speaker 6: Good sideline stuff too.
- 5:14Speaker 5: Yeah, you you mentioned one that was a fastball from
- 5:17Speaker 5: Tommy DeVito that he snared, and then he had a
- 5:19Speaker 5: nice you know, just sort of I like to call
- 5:21Speaker 5: them Patriot plays, plays that looked like.
- 5:23Speaker 6: Tom Brady used to run them.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Just a routine twelve yard out from Drake made to
- 5:28Speaker 5: Romeo Dobbs on the on the left side on the
- 5:30Speaker 5: right sideline for the offense. Just routine and that's what
- 5:33Speaker 5: you want to see. Nice smooth, you know, smooth hookup
- 5:37Speaker 5: where everybody looked like they were in the right spot. So, yeah,
- 5:40Speaker 5: it's still helmets and shorts and stuff like that, but
- 5:43Speaker 5: I thought there was some some plays to be made
- 5:46Speaker 5: on both sides.
- 5:47Speaker 6: The defense made some plays as well.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Yeah, anything else I have stood out to you.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Just do you want to go offense offside line? Yeah?
- 5:52Speaker 3: I think that that would be the next thing. It
- 5:54Speaker 3: wasn't a major.
- 5:54Speaker 4: Change from the spring left to right Campbell Vera, Tucker
- 5:58Speaker 4: Wilson on whenuses, but we did see a little bit
- 6:01Speaker 4: of a rotation there at right tackle and Caleblomo repping
- 6:05Speaker 4: exclusively at right tackle. I had one rep as the
- 6:08Speaker 4: jumbo tight end that we saw but repping at right tackle,
- 6:12Speaker 4: but he didn't. He wasn't the first guy up with
- 6:14Speaker 4: the ones to rotate in for Moses, but then he
- 6:16Speaker 4: eventually rotated in a couple of times for Moses as well.
- 6:19Speaker 4: But I thought it was notable at least today's practice.
- 6:22Speaker 4: And this is the best part of camp is we'll
- 6:24Speaker 4: see how it builds. You know, does he move someplace
- 6:26Speaker 4: else tomorrow, But for right now he's on that right
- 6:29Speaker 4: tackle plane.
- 6:30Speaker 1: It seems like, all right, well that's going to do
- 6:32Speaker 1: it for episode one of the Camp Cast, presented by
- 6:34Speaker 1: a New Balance.
- 6:35Speaker 2: We'll be back tomorrow
