Training Camp-Cast 7/28: Maye Heats Up, Boutte Makes Highlight Catch, Injury Updates · Patriots Unfiltered

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Break May on corks a deep pass to the receiver
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: who just keeps making place here early in training camp.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Let's break it all down.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Welcome everybody to the Patriots training camp cast presented Buying
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: New Balance. We were here after day four where it
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: really kind of felt like and Christian Gonzalez said this, Paul,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: felt kind of like the first day of camp, a
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: little hot in tensity, seems to be ramping up a
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: little bit, would you.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Think, Yeah, they ran at a lot of eleven on
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: eleven plays. I thought there were like four sets of
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: plays for Drake May and the regulars on offense in
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: two different periods. So I would agree that humidity was
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: was sky high. Today it did feel a little bit
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: more like training camp.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: We had shells on, so a little bit of thudding,
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: a little bit of one on ones. Was watching the
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: big boys down there during seven on seven, so a
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: little bit more juice today. I thought the first three
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: days Franklin was a little bored. I was like, what, well,
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: you wake me up when we get to you know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: the real stuff. And then today I felt it a
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: little bit. He felt that training camp juice just a
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: little more, and.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: We talked to have yesterday on the rap show we
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: did was you know, Drake maybe a little sluol start,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: just missing some guys early, not a big deal early practice,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And almost felt that way today where he missed AJ
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Brown on a pass. You know, a couple were high
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it seemed to kick
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in a gear. He hit Kayshan Boody on a deep pass.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And you know, before we talk about Drake, let's just
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: talk about Kasehan Boody because we talked so much about
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: him this offseason and this guy has just continued to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: make place. He's been the best receiver in camping and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: every day, including today, he just continues to make plays.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with that. I think he's been
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: the best receiver in camp so far. Now we'll see
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: you on SAJ Brown gets on the same page with
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Drake may a little bit more. But just in terms
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: of what we're watching. Two long touchdowns today. One of
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: them looked like a bus, but one of them ran
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: right by Kevin Byron made a tough over the shoulder
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: catch like we've seen him make a million times in games.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: And you just keep seeing him open all the time.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: You look up and Kaishan Boody's making a play down
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: the field, even caught one from de Vedo today in
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: the whole shot, so it was another really good day
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: from him. And I agree with your Drake May assessment.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Maybe a little slow to start, but I thought the
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: last couple of team periods for Drake May looked like
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Drake Drake May May.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I would add to Mario Douglas, to the group of
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: guys that seemed to be showing up every day, a
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: lot of crosses. Today he got the better. I thought
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: of Marcus Jones a couple of times coming across the middle,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: and that connection seems to be there. We've seen this
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: a lot in the summer with with Douglas, you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I think he's got fresh legs and he's a hard
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: guy to keep track of. But Booty and Douglas stand
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: out on the positive side. And then we sort of
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: alluded it's been a little bit slower with aj Brown
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: and Romeo Dobbs. You know, I think Evan on Sunday said,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe a small sea concerned. I think it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: still slow with Dobbs. Doesn't seem to be a lot
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: of connections unless they're specifically dialing something up for him,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: a quick screen off motion or something like that. So
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I think it's been slower with those guys, but Booty
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and Douglas, those guys have been productive.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: We've seen a little bit from Brown. I mean, look again,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: first pass of practice in eleven's Drake goes his way,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: kind of overshot him a little bit. But you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to your point, Paul felt similar to me in that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: kind of the design stuff, the quick game, that's where
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: they're finding aj Brown, but when they're kind of looking
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a little more Downfield's sound like they're on the same page.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And I thought Charles Woods did a nice job on
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: him today. You know, Carlton Davis was kind of out
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: of the lineup at times. You know, Christian Gonzalez continues
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to be you know, virtually every play of full team
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: work he's he's been out there. We got to hear
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: from him after practice. Not surprisingly, he's going to keep
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: all that between himself and the front office, his team
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: in the front office. But I do think that it
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: hasn't necessarily looked smooth. There's been a lot of I
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: tend to be a quarterback apologist under normal circumstances, but
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: certainly Drake May coming off the season that he came
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: off of. I'm going to say some of these passes
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: that look a little off, a little high, I'm going
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: to put on the receiver when the receiver's new, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: right now I think Brown's still trying to catch up.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was one Brown curl he curled in. Drake
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: May threw it out, you know, he threw it to
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: his outside shoulder. Brown was looking for it on his
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: inside shoulder, and you just wonder what those like is
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: that by week five, weeks six, week seven, we're probably
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: not talking about those little communication things. The other one
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I thought Elijah Ponder got and Drake May's face really
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: quickly off the snap on a little stunt and that's
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: why that throw was erin. So a couple of things
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: like that, you know, maybe some underneath stuff, but I
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: look at it with AJ Brown. A lot of the
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: things that we're seeing are, well, where's your landmark on
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: this play? Like where are you going to be on
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: that one? You know, where's where are you going to
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: break the route off? And you know things like that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: That type of stuff. That's what this time of year
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: is about. They'll get that all ironed out. I'm not
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: really super concerned about that yet.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Just two more player observations for me. Just trade on Henderson.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Anytime you get the guy the ball in space. He
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is just an absolute missile. I love watching him run
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: up the sidelines. I'm broken plays. But the guy that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, encouraged by and it hasn't and I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: mentioned him earlier this week, is Eli Meritan, who you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: know showing up with a couple catches here. I know
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's been a little bit slow with him. It's a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: big need for the team though, and seeing him start
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to you know, today we soon settling the zone, kind
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of finding those crease. I think it's a good sign.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You used to see him start to catch some balls.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw Tanner Arkin in that group. I continue
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to see him out there early in these team periods.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: You know, they opened up a lot of those team
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: periods with running plays. He's on the field, so I
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: think they have a role carved out for him in
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: their minds. I think it's his to win. You know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: there's a long way to go. We're obviously just underway here.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Pads haven't even come on. But there's a need obviously
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: for a blocking tight end, and he absolutely fits that
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: profile a guy. He's huge.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been impressed by rared and I think right
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: now when he runs with the twos with the veto,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: he looks better than everybody else around him. And we'll
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: see if that can translate to him going up against
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: the starting defense and if he's still making plays. But
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: you mentioned, you know, the zone settle, that he had,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: those little heady things with his receiving, you know, instincts
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: and feel like those are the things you look for
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: with young receivers. A lot of these tight ends, especially
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: guys that are drafted high. They all can run, they
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: all have good frames on him, they all have good hands,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: things like that. But the question is, you know, between
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: the ears, are they going to be able to work
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: the middle of the field and find those soft spots.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: So I was impressed by Rodan again today. I thought
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: that he flashed a few times.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: One last thing, I mean, it seems like maybe some
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: injuries starting to I don't want to say pile up,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: but maybe the first injuries a camp. We saw Carlton
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Davis left. That meant Charles Woods got in there. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: then Charles Woods looked like he got a little banged up.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Could be a spot of concern there at the cornerback spot,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: but I'm not going to panic guys, because we saw
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Carlton Davis do this many times last summer.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Before he always I do think that it did solidify
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: that hierarchy at corner where I do think that Charles
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Woods is kind of in his own tier as the
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: fourth corner you have, you know, Gonzales, Davis, Marcus Jones.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: That's one tier, that's the S tier. Then I think
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: the next tier is Charles Woods by himself right now
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: is a guy that's really going to be on this team,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I think. And the guys that are competing for roster
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: spots or the following tier, you know, the Kendallvilldors, the
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Kobe Minors, Karan Prunty. So I think Charles Woods is
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: kind of ahead of that group, but not quite in
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: the starter you know, S tier group. But we'll see
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: if he's out there tomorrow or I guess Thursday.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that is Thursday, and their pads are supposed
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to come on. However, rain might be in the forecast,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: so if you're planning on coming down here to Jillette Stadium,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: be sure to check patriots dot com to see if
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the practice does move inside, it will be close to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the public, and I don't know if we'll even do
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a live show during that, so hopefully the rain holds off,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you'll tune into US Live. We'll break that whole practice
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: down as things get to ramp up a little bit
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: in intensity with the onset of pads.
