- 0:07Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from
- 0:09Speaker 1: Patriots training Camp.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Well, I do still watch the news.
- 0:13Speaker 3: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com
- 0:16Speaker 3: have you covered?
- 0:16Speaker 1: What did I miss yesterday? Now here to review today's
- 0:19Speaker 1: practice the writers of Patriots dot com.
- 0:22Speaker 3: All right, welcome in to our very first Patriots Training
- 0:25Speaker 3: Camp Cast of twenty twenty four.
- 0:27Speaker 2: It's Mike do So, Paul Parrel. Paul, thanks for joining me.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for having me on your little camp cast.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Guess what is this year? Five twenty four for me,
- 0:35Speaker 1: but twenty sixth overall. I think it's twenty fourth doing
- 0:38Speaker 1: the camp cast.
- 0:40Speaker 3: Well, here we are, and we, you know, got going
- 0:41Speaker 3: today with the Patriots on the field, kind of like
- 0:43Speaker 3: practice hour and a half session Paul little.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Yeah, sorter than we're kind of used to you here.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, jord Mayo talked a little bit
- 0:49Speaker 1: about that on Tuesday, that he might fluctuate some of
- 0:52Speaker 1: these times. And I think that the sort of the
- 0:54Speaker 1: ramp up time, you know, I think they have some
- 0:56Speaker 1: work that they probably want to get done, a set
- 0:57Speaker 1: amount of you know, execution they want to see. I
- 1:01Speaker 1: think these first couple of practices will be a little
- 1:04Speaker 1: shorter and then they'll gradually ramp it up. And I
- 1:06Speaker 1: did think it was interesting before practice started today. They're
- 1:10Speaker 1: eligible to be in pads after five days, so that
- 1:13Speaker 1: would be Monday. Girod sort of indicated it might be
- 1:17Speaker 1: around this time next week, so maybe, you know, a
- 1:20Speaker 1: little bit later than that when they were in full
- 1:22Speaker 1: pads for the first time. But we're getting ahead of
- 1:24Speaker 1: ourselves a little bit.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Yeah, we are a little bit, but you know, not
- 1:26Speaker 3: the most competitive practices you might have seen one day one,
- 1:29Speaker 3: kind of a continuation of OTAs in mini camp, but
- 1:31Speaker 3: still some guys that showed up a couple of good plays,
- 1:34Speaker 3: and I want to start with Jalen Rager, who had
- 1:36Speaker 3: really nice one handed catch down the field, had another
- 1:39Speaker 3: catch later in practice.
- 1:40Speaker 2: You know, it was kind of productive in OTAs two.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Not a guy that's on the top of everyone's mind,
- 1:45Speaker 3: but a guy that's just continuing to show up here
- 1:47Speaker 3: in the offseason.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like they have a lot of very
- 1:49Speaker 1: similar kind of players, not necessarily in skill set, because
- 1:53Speaker 1: I think Rager is a little bit longer and faster
- 1:55Speaker 1: than most of the other guys, but they have a
- 1:58Speaker 1: lot of sort of middling kind of I think Rager
- 2:02Speaker 1: has certainly done a nice job of separating himself from
- 2:06Speaker 1: the pack in that regard. I thought Juju Smith Schuster
- 2:09Speaker 1: also showed up a little bit today with that nice
- 2:11Speaker 1: deep crosser. All of these passes we should we should
- 2:15Speaker 1: add from Drake may So. I thought that was a
- 2:20Speaker 1: good sign to sort of see him get the ball
- 2:22Speaker 1: downfield a little bit in the athleticism on display a
- 2:25Speaker 1: little bit. But you're right, I don't want to get
- 2:27Speaker 1: anybody excited, not overly competitive, you know, in shorts and
- 2:31Speaker 1: helmets today.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, a couple of housekeeping notes because
- 2:34Speaker 3: you're obviously trying to read between the lines a little bit,
- 2:36Speaker 3: you know, just some highlights, you know, for me, Kyle
- 2:38Speaker 3: Duggar coming up with a tipball interception. He continues to
- 2:40Speaker 3: kind of be around the ball. That's kind of a
- 2:42Speaker 3: Kyle dugger play, you know, not necessarily him jumping the route,
- 2:45Speaker 3: but Johnny on the spot right place by time.
- 2:47Speaker 1: It's exactly what you're boy, Jabil Pepper said after practice.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I don't know how we do it, you know, He's
- 2:52Speaker 1: just always where we're supposed to be. And they Yeah,
- 2:54Speaker 1: the defensive backs have a pretty friendly competition with those
- 2:57Speaker 1: kinds of plays. Uh So he was a little upset
- 2:59Speaker 1: that he's already behind, but yeah, it was really nice.
- 3:03Speaker 1: The play was actually made by Jonathan Jones, good trail coverage,
- 3:06Speaker 1: got the hand in in front of the intended target,
- 3:09Speaker 1: ball goes in the air and right to Kyle Dugar.
- 3:12Speaker 1: That was from Brissett, probably a past that Brissett was
- 3:14Speaker 1: a little late with. You know, again, you know, the
- 3:17Speaker 1: timing not expected to be at regular season pace on
- 3:21Speaker 1: the first day of camp, but yeah, good to see
- 3:23Speaker 1: Dougar around the ball as usual.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Little housekeeping.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Saw a lot of Michael and when you continues to
- 3:27Speaker 3: be at right guard, you know, the lion is a
- 3:29Speaker 3: big concern for Patriots fans.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Wanted to know how that's all going to shake out.
- 3:32Speaker 3: We saw, you know, they're working on the run game
- 3:34Speaker 3: a little bit. They're more in the middle of the field,
- 3:36Speaker 3: not the red zone, Paul, like.
- 3:37Speaker 2: We get used to. I mean, we used those old
- 3:39Speaker 2: Patriots practices.
- 3:39Speaker 3: It felt like, hey, we're right in the red zone
- 3:41Speaker 3: right away, opening it up maybe a little bit. We
- 3:44Speaker 3: were speculating just allow on the offense maybe to connect
- 3:46Speaker 3: on some plays, but I thought it was fine.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Today there was nothing. You know, Ragger made a couple catches,
- 3:50Speaker 2: but overall it felt like the first day of camp.
- 3:52Speaker 3: They're feeling it out. There's not really a lot of
- 3:54Speaker 3: fireworks to write home about.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and we should say it went Brisset, may Zappi,
- 3:59Speaker 1: Milton and that was pretty much the rotation that we
- 4:02Speaker 1: ended the spring with that continued today. And you're right,
- 4:07Speaker 1: I do think I didn't even know what to do
- 4:09Speaker 1: with myself, you know, not starting in the red zone
- 4:10Speaker 1: because I'm just it's so ingrained in my mind. If
- 4:13Speaker 1: that that's the way that Bill always did it. They started,
- 4:17Speaker 1: you know, the twenty or thirty, you know, early down,
- 4:19Speaker 1: a lot of early down work, you know, and you
- 4:21Speaker 1: saw what they want to do.
- 4:23Speaker 2: You saw that the Alex Van Pelt offense wants.
- 4:25Speaker 1: To be that sort of zone stretch kind of plays
- 4:29Speaker 1: where you know, it's extended handoffs, hard play, action, boots
- 4:34Speaker 1: off of that. That's how they're looking to get explosive plays.
- 4:37Speaker 2: So some of those things.
- 4:38Speaker 1: You started to see the seeds get planted today a
- 4:41Speaker 1: little bit, and it was different not being in the
- 4:43Speaker 1: red zone.
- 4:43Speaker 2: All right.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Well, new season, New studio, new head coach, new quarterback.
- 4:48Speaker 2: A lot of new nets going on here, Paula. We're
- 4:49Speaker 2: just getting started.
- 4:50Speaker 1: So real quick. Yeah, just you know, just to continue.
- 4:53Speaker 1: The attendance was really good today. The Patriots placed five
- 4:57Speaker 1: guys on lists, four on PUP and that would be
- 5:00Speaker 1: Cole Strange, Kendrick Bourne, Jake Andrews, and Sioni Taki Taki.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Those four players did not practice today, are on PUP
- 5:08Speaker 1: and Antonio Gibson starts on the Non Football Injury List NFI.
- 5:12Speaker 1: So other than that, the other eighty five players were
- 5:16Speaker 1: out there and accounted for. We did see Matthew Judon,
- 5:19Speaker 1: we did see Devon gotcha, and we did see them
- 5:22Speaker 1: taking part in some of the eleven on eleven stuff
- 5:25Speaker 1: that they did, and that to me was a little
- 5:27Speaker 1: different than last year with Judon specifically, who was obviously
- 5:31Speaker 1: upset with his contract at this time a year ago
- 5:33Speaker 1: and sort of chose to the hold in kind of thing.
- 5:36Speaker 1: We didn't see any signs of that today. We'll see
- 5:38Speaker 1: what happens next week when the pads are on.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Yeah, Pop Douglas seeming to do a little bit of
- 5:41Speaker 3: rehab work. Maybe two wasn't heavily involved just something to
- 5:43Speaker 3: keep an eye on. But that's gonna do usday do
- 5:46Speaker 3: it for us for day one here Patriots Training Camp Cast.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Of course, what have we got? Twelve more practices to go,
- 5:50Speaker 2: so we're just getting started here.
- 5:52Speaker 3: We hope you guys will stick with us all through
- 5:53Speaker 3: this summer as we take you through Patriots Training Camp
- 5:56Speaker 3: twenty twenty four.
