  Speaker 1: Oh, I do still watch the news. Practice is over,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: but the writers of Patriots dot com have you covered?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: What did I miss yesterday? Now here to review.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Today's practice the writers of Patriots dot com.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Yes Day one is in the books, Miked so and
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Paul Perillo.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Here high above.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: The fields behind Jillette Stadium and a beautiful Wednesday after
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Wednesday morning, I should say here in Foxborough, Patriots in
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: shorts and helmets, Mike, some really good signs early on
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: in terms of attendance, and I know that sounds routine,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: but uh not a lot of guys missing here, just
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: two players I believe on on PUP with Cody Davis
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: and Michael Owenu.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Otherwise, we at least saw, if I'm not mistake, Calvin
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Anderson too.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Is Calvin Anderson on NFI also that you are correct,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: But we saw guys that we haven't really seen at all,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: including like Juju Smith Schuster as an example, Trent Brown
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: out there taking part regular.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: In his spot at left tackle.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Just let's open up our first training camp podcast of
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: the season.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Mike with your opening thoughts.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Lawrence guy as well, back out of course, great
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: to be out here. The stands are packed. It's a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: beautiful day. As you know, Foxborough means means friendship. But
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: but a good start, you know, I think you know
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: overall did of course is there want to do red
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: zone drills and I think there were three different sets
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of you know, three reps for all the quarterbacks. So
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: you know, a couple of touchdowns to Hunter Henry was
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: nice time. Montgomery really active, four touchdowns total. We talked
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: about him early in our live show Paul as as
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a player who's just always been extremely involved when we
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: see practice. That was again the case today. But also
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: some nice plays by by the defense. Kyle dugger coming
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: up with an interception there in the in the end
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: zone was nice.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and I think that you saw some
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: plays on both sides of the ball. I thought the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: defense was a little better, but they should be based
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: on where the plays were taking places, really deep in
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the red zone four yard line, eight yard line and
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: in no real threat of the run.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You made reference to Kyle Duggar's.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: First play the first live rep quote unquote live they're
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: not in pads. But the first eleven on eleven rep
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: he undercut. I think Mikeasicki made a nice interception. But
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: time Montgomery, as you said, was very active. Several touchdowns
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: from all the different quarterbacks too. I think he caught
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: one from each of the three quarterbacks. I thought mac
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Jones looked better. You know, as the plays sort of developed,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: they would go three and then Zappi would take three,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: mix Suld they would take three.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: They did another set, they did the same kind of thing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: So that was probably the highlight of the day in
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: terms of what we got to watch Otherwise, sort of
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of walkthroughs, conditioning kind of stuff, a lot
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: of drills. But I think, like I said, the main
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: takeaway for me was just you know, we're looking out
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: here at eighty seven players that we got a chance
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to see one guy we should probably note that didn't
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: look like he did a whole lot today. Was Matthew Judah.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: You think you saw him a little bit on the Yeah,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: looks like.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: He was doing some some either conditioning rehab, but now
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it was not participating when they when they did do
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the team drills. So some of the BEG watched for
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: but I mean, he's out here, and obviously it's a
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: long training camp, so I don't think it's anything to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: be too concerned with. I mean, we didn't really see
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Trump Brown or OTAs and he was back out there
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: at the left tackle spot today. So that's like you said, Paul,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I think that the good thing is, look, we got started.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Are we going to overreact to how good or bad
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the offensive defense is after you know, one practice with
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe a handful of maybe nine to ten
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: reps of you know, quasi competitive stuff. No, but you know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I think that there are certainly some positive elements. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: as we said, what's better than getting out here having
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the full team participate, you know, having all those bodies
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: just to start, it's it's a good sign, not something
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: hey we're waiting to see.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Let's get guys back.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: He can start getting everybody on the same page immediately.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: So you know, for me, I was just excited to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: see Juju Smith Schuster out here, to see him how
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: they're working him in, Mikeasicki the two big main new
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: pieces on offense for Bill O'Brien to play with a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So starting to get a glimpse of what's coming. Together there.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with you. And he came as advertised.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: You know, he's an energy guy. He and a very
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: similar personality, it looked like to Kendrick Bourne. Those guys
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: were bouncing around all day. I think there was some
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: enthusiasm on the part of the players to be out here.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: We talked during our show during the broadcast about how
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: a couple of players have been tweeting out last night
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: and this morning, but you know, just sort of eager
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: to get going.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I think we saw that. I think it was a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: good start.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Didn't look at anybody like, you know, suffered any kind
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: of injuries or anything like that. Those are always a concern,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: especially at this time of year. And I think the
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: first signs of you know, the we got a chance
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: to watch Bill O'Brien sort of set up the offense
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: a little bit and you know, we're not trying to
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: come off as like we know all these things that
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: they're doing, but it looked like there was more of
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: a design. I know Evan talked about it a little
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: bit during the podcast of the sequence of the things
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: that they're sort of working on are definitely designed to
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: progress to other things. So those are the things we'll
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: be keeping an eye on as camp unfolds.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good sign.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a it look its gonna be a
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: lot of fun as we start to get in the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: competitive stuff. But like you said, they're laying the foundation here,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and I mean football is back, or practice football is back,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I know, every you know, it's like there's football games
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and then practices and then real games. So there's a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: lot going on, but just good to get started and
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you know, I think they're laying some positive work here
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and we'll see what they progressed to tomorrow.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were at it for about ninety minutes or so.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: They finished with some conditioning runs you know, off the
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: goal line, some some suicide, some back and forth runs.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Now they look like they're just sort of recapping the
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: practice with some really low tempo walkthrough. Kind of looks
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: again still in the red zone. As we're now really
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: accustomed to a couple of things, you know, just notable
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: things that they did.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Some work on the punt punt team both fields.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I looked like Marcus Jones to Mario Douglas and Miles
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Bryant were handling some of those punts and really beyond that,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: it wasn't a tremendous amount to.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Chronicle here and say, hey, let's give Nick focus shot. Yeah,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Nick Folk wrapped up practice with a bunch of field.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Goals ranging from twenty eight to forty eight yards, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I think he made them all.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: He looks the same old Nick Folk, just the model
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of consistency. We'll see when Chad Ryland gets into the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: mix and gets his chance and see if you can
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: match it.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: All right, So that's going to put a rap on
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: our first training camp podcast of the season. We'll be
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: back every day after practice. Mike or So and Paul
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Perola will be here to give you our thoughts on
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: each day. So we'll talk to you tomorrow
