Training Camp-Cast 8/19: Maye/Offense Shine, 2-minute Defense, Borregales from 50+ · Patriots Unfiltered

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Patriots and Eagles got after it today with joint practices,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: and it was the Patriots who finished strong. Let's break
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: it all down. Welcome everybody to the Patriots Camp cast
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: presented by New Balance. And Yes, it was probably the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: highlight of the summer. I would say, at least the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: first day of the highlight of the summer, guys. Joint
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: practices with the Eagles, with a competitive day, Patriots getting
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of good work in not so much the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: red zone stuff, guys, but overall similar format to what
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. Maybe a little bit less
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: one on ones, but overall, Paul, what are your biggest
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: takeaways here from the first day.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I continue to be impressed by the Patriots offense. I
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: think Drake May and AJ Brown looked more and more
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: comfortable as the days go by. Pop Douglas continues to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: make plays over the middle. I thought it was a
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: good day for the offense. I that the offensive line
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: held up pretty well against a much stiffer test in
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the Eagles than the Colts. Yeah.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Really active day for a J Brownhuh. Yeah.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I thought of both offenses who controlled the beginning part
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: of practice and maybe the two minute drill got a
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: little clunky there and the defense is punched back a
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: little bit. But I look at the line of scrimmage
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: and I thought that the Patriots once again had a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: lot of clean pockets to push the ball down the
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: field from with Drake, May, Aj Brown, Romeo Dobbs, Pop Douglas,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: all three of those guys getting targeted down the field
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: into the mix at some point. So that was really encouraging.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: You know, it's one thing to do it against your
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: own guys day in and day out, but that's a
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: really good front that the Eagles brought here to this practice,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: and I thought the Patriots offensive line held their own defensively.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I think we're still concerned about the same things run defense,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: pressure on the quarterback. So I would say both offenses
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: kind of won the day.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I got to echo your the good part because to me,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I said on our pre on our show when we
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: were going live Paul that I wanted to see them
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: protect especially inside. We know Carter how good he can be,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Davis big guys, But like Jev said, I thought there
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: were some clean pockets. Drake had a chance to step
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: up a couple times to make some throws downfield. As
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I said, AJ Brown was involved. I saw some catches
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: from tomorrow Douglas just you know, overall, I was in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: brilliant cur by the offense today.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I thought the regular periods of offense, you know, they
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: did some down you know, down in situational where at
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: first downs, third downs, whatnot. I thought the offense was
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: kind of doing what it wanted to do. Now, unfortunately,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I think the same could be said of the Eagles
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: offense on the other field. But in the two minute,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: it looked like both defenses kind of dialed up, some stuff,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: got some pressure at times, muddied the pockets a little bit.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Now you have two guys in Drake May and Jalen Hurts,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: who are very mobile, very athletic quarterbacks. So I'm not
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: telling you these would have been sacks. I don't think
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of sacks today on either side.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: But I think that that's kind of what made the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: two minute a little clunky, to use Evans's term. But overall,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: very encouraged by the offense, Very encouraged by AJ Brown.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, before we jump into the two minute drills, the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: dueling two minute drills out, just to pause point about
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the defense, I felt like you know, we saw some
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: RPO stuff that was like there was a lot of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: space inside. There was one screen pass that it felt
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: like he was gone a lot of space inside against
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the run, against the run, similar to what we saw
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: against the Colts A little bit.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: About Yeah, I would say that was probably the thing
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: that stood out to me the most was Shipley and
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Sakuon Barkley were kind of doingever they wanted in the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: run game and those run periods. And then we also,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: you know, we talked about, you know, during practice then
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: they have to dial up blitzes to get pressure on
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: the quarterback, and I felt like the Patriots standard rushers
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: rushes weren't really getting home, you know, those four man
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: standard rushes. So we'll see. But the run game I
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: thought got better as practice went on. For the Patriots defense,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: it was started slow and then they started to stuff
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: some runs in the second run period. I thought, so
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: maybe some improvement, maybe a little bit of maybe you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: pick me up on the sideline type of thing. Maybe
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: they weren't ready to go out of the gate. But I,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: like you guys said about Drake May you know, aj
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Brown thought the best throw between those two guys off
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: his back foot just floating the ball. Now, if there's
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: some pressure there, I don't know those guys would have
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: gotten home or not. But just threw a ball in
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the bucket over aj Brown's outside shoulder and dropped it
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: in there against pressure. They hit a crossing route earlier
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: on in practice to aj Brown right and stride with
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the defender right and coverage there a really good throw
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Dobbs down the left sideline on a big play. So
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: when you see those plays being pushed down the field
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and the ball being pushed down the field, you usually
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: think the pass protection was probably pretty solid if they
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: have the time and the ability to push it down
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the field like that.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And I just would look at those kinds of plays
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and I can easily envision seeing that in the regular season.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: That's the kind of offense to me, that is sustainable.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: It's not you're throw one up and a guy made
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: a play, or you know, you know, the quarterback made
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: a great play to escape the pocket, got off platform,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: bought some time, and someone squirt it loose. These were
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: regular plays, as Evan said, where Drake may had time
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to survey the field, read the coverage, and find the
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: open guy.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: They hit the one to Dobbs. Sorry, but the one
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to Dobbs was really encouraging to me because I think
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: he looked off the safety in the middle of the field.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: He had Brown and Dobbs both on vertical routes on
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the out side, and he started looking at Brown. The
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: safety move with Brown, and then he came back and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: hit Dobbs on the one on one. If you have
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the amount of time in the pocket to do that,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: then that tells you that the pass protection was pretty
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: solid exactly.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: The overall sure didn't look like two years ago and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: joined practice against the Eagles when Eagles pretty much had
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: their way. Patriots certainly competitive. Let's talk about the final
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: two minute drive one oh five need a field goal.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Starting out at your twenty, we saw both the ones
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: on both teams, and then we saw the twos as well.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Nice job here by the ones. I thought it was
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit clunky, Paul, you said there was a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: little bit of pressure. Maybe that hadn't quite popped up earlier.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But got a shout out. Andy boorg Gallas hitting both
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: field goals at the end, the first one and fifty
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: three yarder, the second one fifty seven yarder with the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: twos as well, so two good kicks for him. We
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: know he kind of yet kick bounce back for border Gallis.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that two minute was great.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I thought the first throw, it's either a bad throw
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: by Drake or a bad read by Romeo Dobbs as
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: he sort of cuts in maybe looked like he was
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: trying to protect him from the safety who was right there.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I thought it was a ball Dobbs could caught.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Looked like you got both hands on it, So that's incomplete.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Next play is across to Douglas, looks like he's open,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: he's got a step, throws really low, kind of takes
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: him to the ground, he stumbles, falls. I think Evan's
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: right nowhere nearer first down now because of the drill,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: they moved it across the thirty yard line and gave
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: him a first down.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So instead of third and three or four, and you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Haven't even really started a two minute drill that you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: because it's practice, all of a sudden, you get something started.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I thought there were some plays there that looked like
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the pockets started to get a little leaky, but the uh,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you know, I think situationally, they set up the field goal,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: but good on bord Gallas were making them.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw it the same way. I felt like
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: they moved the ball up and then they put more
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: time on the clock, and then it felt like they
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: wanted to get the situation of the fire drill field
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: goal and get that off and see how that operation looked.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: So ye Will probably said, hey, can we just play
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: out this situation. I thought the defense though, got to
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: stop I think hanging up with past defenses. Yeah, so
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: they legitimately got stops, and I thought that was the
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: practice where you saw some of the issues with the
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Eagles offense in terms of handling pressure and blitzes and
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: things like that. They're installing a new offense and I
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: think that's been a big hot button topic in Philly,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: is that they don't have a lot of answers to
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: blitzes and hot receivers and things like that. So the
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Patriots dialed up some blitzes and they were able to
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: get home on a lot of those blitzeres in that
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: one minute drill, and they had a couple pass breakups.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: So that was encouraging to see. I mean, on the
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: one hand, you could say, well, they need to dial
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: up pressure to get to the quarterback. But when they
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: did blitz, it did get home. So I think that
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: was incouraging takeaways too.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Kevin Byer talked a lot about those. Craig Woodson was
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: around the ball. I think he had two picks. One
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: of them might have been in seven on seven. But
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: just good to see the Patriots' secondary around the ball
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: a lot. And I did think I think Kevan you
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: alluded to this, the defense was better. I thought with
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: each ensuing period it looked a little bit stronger.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was what was funny to me. It was
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: like the offensive defense looked one way during the drills,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: then we got to the two minute drill and it
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: almost kind of flipped a little bit.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: That's why I feel like we're gonna have different takes
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: than everybody else on practice because we were watching a
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: little bit more of the defense because they were closer
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: to us where we were watching practice. But I felt
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the same way. I thought the Eagles offense actually moved
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: the ball pretty well early. They had a big post
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: down the field, they had a wheel route to Shipley
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: out of the backfield for a big play. A couple
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: of big runs by Barkley and then we got down
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: to the to the tent and everybody said that Patriots
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: defense dominated, and I.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Was like DeVante Smith, today was complete. Yeah, I mean
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: they didn't really, most of it was most of it
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: was underneath.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, no. Mkai Lemon I thought that you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: it got better though.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: He did get it did get better as the practice
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: went and shout out to Kendall Wildor with the twoes.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: He capped off practice with an interception. Nice for him.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: John Sanders also had an interception during practice. Guys around
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the ball popping up. He's not playing against you.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Know, Mariano Rivera from now on, He's the Tarron Harmon.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Well, it was a great first day of practice and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure this energy is just going to carry over
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: into day two. We'll see if motions are going to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: run high, but Eagles are going to look to punch back.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Patriots looking to get better on defense should be a
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: great one if you're able to come on down to Foxboro.
