  Speaker 1: This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Patriots training Camp. Well, I do still watch the news.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: have you covered? What did I miss yesterday? Now here
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to review today's practice? The writers of Patriots dot com
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: All right, August first, and the pads came on today
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: on Monday. This is might do so, joined by Paul Pirillo,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Evan Lazar Patriots dot com. We're here to get you
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: caught up on everything that happened today at Patriots practice.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And guys, the pads came on. We saw some physicality
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: amp up um, but a little bit films was felt
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to me a little bit like the pace was back.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Start with you, Paul, you know what stood out to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you today? Just generally, Yeah, I agree. It was a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: little bit of a slow you know, uh, you know,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: ramp up again after they had a day off on Sunday.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: But there was I thought some some physicality with the receivers,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in the in the defensive backs that you hadn't seen
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: at all because of you know, for obvious reasons, without
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the pads on. I thought the one matchup in particular
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: that kept coming up to me was Malcolm Butler and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: DeVante Parker. I thought those two guys when at each
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: other pretty good. I thought Parker made some big plays
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: over him, but rather than get down on him, I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: thought Butler responded with a couple of nice plays. Later
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: on one when they got down in the red zone,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it looked like he came away with a nice breakup
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: down there. So it was a little back and forth
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: with those guys. I know, Evan, you watched a little
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: bit more of the of the big guys up front
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: as you guys you probably don't know yet. I really
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: don't have any interest in that, so I'm going to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: leave that all to you. Evan. You were locked in
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: on the defensive offensive line. They're doing some kind of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: combo blocking drills, some one on ones. What stood out
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to you down there in those matchups today? Yeah, first
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: day it pads. You gotta watch the big guys, right,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what we're all like, you say, so,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: kind of seeing the trenches. I think the number one
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: thing that stood out to me today was Christian Barmore
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: basically beating every single person that lined up across from him. Consistently,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and obviously this is coming off his rookie season. It
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: just continues to be the same story with him, where
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: he is an absolute disrupt or, whether it's against the run,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: against the past. A couple of welcome to the NFL
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: moments for a few Patriots rookies and one on ones
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: against Christian Barmer, Cole Strange, Cody Russy learned the hard
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: way what it's like to go up against number ninety.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And if you look at the whole picture here for
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the Patriots defense, I would say Barmore is the one
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: guy that if he can elevate his game to a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, all Pro type of player, it changes how
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: they're going to be dynamic, playmaking wise for the entire defense.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So also to it, a few guys come off pup today,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: which a good sign. Jonathan Jones was supposed to call
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: him Julie's Peppers, not quite Jabrill Peppers, and finally Miles Bryant.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So three guys coming off seemed like they were kind
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of getting involved a little bit. Always good to get
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: those guys off. Still, James White, I think, is the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: only one remaining on the pup list. NFI list remains
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Jason Hines and Andrew Stubert A couple. I mean, Paul,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you mentioned the big play. I thought that was the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: play of the day, the deep pass to Parker. Parker
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: shook loose and got and got free. Overall, though, doesn't
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: really feel like I think we're all hoping for a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: huge bounce back day today. Seems like the offense kind
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of working through some things still and quite have the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: didn't feel like it they alli sudden hit a new
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: gear today. Yeah, a couple things, I would say. The
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: first one from that big play that you were talking about,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the play of the day. It's the first time I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: saw DeVante Parker really get open in this camp. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: then that was something that that opened my eyes, like okay,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: here we go. No, you know, I get that he
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: has the you know, the strong hands and the ability
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to make contested catches. We know that he has that,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: but now that's something that was a little bit different today.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: He got a step down the sideline and beat Butler
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: pretty good on that deep ball. So that was good,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and I agree with you. I thought there was some
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: periods of offensive success, but not anything sustained. Again, I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: think it's still a work in progress. Nice to see
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: them more in the middle of the field, so you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: could sprinkle in some of that downfield stuff not all
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: condensed into the red zone. I sensed a little bit
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: more frustration from Mac. You made the point during practice
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: when we were watching Mike and we make a lot
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of those witty comments back and forth to each other
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: about how you didn't see as much of the tennis
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: guy from Mac at this time around. You know, there
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: was some reports he was pretty pretty upset with him.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Weren't just reports. We saw it when him walking off
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the field on Saturday after throwing that pick to Kyle Dugger.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Didn't really see a lot of that visible frustration. Today.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You could see him a little bit with the head
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: down at times, but bouncing back, continuing to fight. Parker
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: talked about that ability to sort of turn the page
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: immediately being important After the Mac and Row, it just
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it feels a little more mature. I'm sure he's frustrated,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: but he's just not being demonsibly showing it. And I think,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you know, guys kind of feed off that energy, so
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I think that's a at least a good sign. It
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: hasn't been great. Terrence Mitchell coming up with a nice
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: interception Evan for you what else you know? Just overall
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: stood out in terms of the team periods. Well, I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: thought to talk about Mac a little bit. When they
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: spread it out and they went shotgun, he hit Parker
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: down the sideline for forty fifty yard go ball there
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: when they were doing the stuff from under center. A
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that they're doing is I think
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit new for him, honestly, and that might
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: be some of the tweaks that they're making to the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: scheme paying dividends there where he went over after he
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: threw the pick, Terrence Mitchell went over to Matt Patricia.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: They had a conversation about what he saw, what Patricia saw,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and some of the concepts, especially from under center, seem
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit like a work in progress mentally for
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones right now. Whereas when they spread it out
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and you see Alabama Mac right spread the field three
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: wide receiver and kind of let him go, he looked
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: comfortable pretty much again the entire practice, especially on that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: throw to Parker, which I thought was probably his best
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: throw training camp so far, especially in eleven on elevens
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: for sure. And I will just real quick one last
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: thing I thought Bailey Zappi threw the ball really well today.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You know, he's been a little inconsistent with his accuracy,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: but today I thought he had longer stretches of positive play.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Dropped one in and it was just a one on
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: one drill. It wasn't even a seven on seven, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: perfect throw to Taekwon Thorwton down the sideline, over the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: outside shoulder on a deep ball. It was pretty good
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: coverage in still able to fit it in there. I
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: thought he was more consistently accurate today than at any
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: point in camp. Unfortunately I wrote about him on Saturday
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: soufesn't really matter, of course, That's always how it works
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: out right, It's all about me, you know. That One
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: final thing to mention too. You know we're just coming
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: out to practice. We were Bailey, Sorry, Bailey, Jake Bailey
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to stick with the Bailey's signing contract extension for a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: few years. So that'll help the Patriots cap space overall
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit. We will be back tomorrow. Pads staying on.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Matt Patricia did mention before practice that the intensity was
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: ratchet up as much. You think the pads are coming
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: on and they're just gonna go for it. I think
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that there is a little bit of easing into it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sure tomorrow we'll get even more intense, and of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: course we will be back to brief you guys on
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: exactly what went down. So that will do it for
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: us for today and we'll see you tomorrow after the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: next practice. Thank you for downloading this podcast, Subscribe on Apple,
