  Speaker 1: This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Camp Cast is your source for all the news from
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Patriots training Camp.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I do still watch the news.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: have you covered?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: What did I miss yesterday?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Now here to review today's practice? The writers of Patriots
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: dot com.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Well, the Patriots were back at it after a day off,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Day ten of training camp, back in shells here at
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: sunny and warm Jillette Stadium. Evan Lazar, Mike do So,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Paul Perlo with you. Kind of an interesting day. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: thought it was a little bit choppy coming off the
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: day off.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I thought the.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Execution was a little little sloppy overall.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Just I'll let you guys open it up with first impressions.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought a little bit more of a I
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: don't want to say, a step back. I think the
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: offense was a little definitely uneven today, and especially the
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: two's David was missing from practice, and I think that
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: that's just that's the big theme for me right now
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: is just the offensive line and the attrition and how
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: much can you really kill the offense at this point
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: with what they're dealing with upfront. But you know that said, couple,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: you know, middle of the field, eleven sessions, the red zone,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: long red zone session. Not a lot of production today
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: from the offense and not a lot of like, you know,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: really well executed passing plays.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: I figured out why Matthew Judon hasn't been practicing. It's
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: because he recx practice when he does practice. So he
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: was out there again today full tilt after reworking his
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: contract that got announced on Friday night, and I had
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: him down for three sacks and maybe like ten snaps
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: that he was out there, and a lot of them
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: came off the right side. I ran a one t
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: and stunt one straight up pass rush on Connor McDermott
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: right around him. So I'm with you on the offensive line.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: I wanted to be a little bit positive out of
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: the gate and just say the red sleeves are back
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: and they look good and it's amazing how he just
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: stepped right in and it was like he never left
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: for the defense. And I think that that's what you
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: wanted to see, was this defense what it was going
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: to look like and how the pieces were going to
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: fit together, And we got a little bit of that today.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with you too, on the offensive line,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: you know, with you know strange. Now Andrew's out and
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: we haven't seen a WINU yet, so the whole three start,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you know, projected starters on the inside are out. But
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: to Evan's point, it was the edges that you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: it seemed to be the issue with Jude On, but
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I thought that really kind of took away mac Jones
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and Bailey z appy. I didn't think they either one
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: of them had a lot of really good opportunities to
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: sit back, get on the back foot in the pocket
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and let one rip. They did a few, and there
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: was some There was some good balls occasionally, but they
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: were few and far between. I did think the defense
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: had a strong date. I thought Gonzales was much more
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: active today than what we've seen I thought the last
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: couple of days, and I was kind of worried, like
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: is he kind of slipping down? You know, I know
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: it's early, but sometimes you're getting camp and it's it's tough,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: it's a grind.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: But he was.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: He was really around the ball today. The interception was
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: like a ridiculous athletic play. I mean, now you could
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: look that two ways. Great play by Gonzales, no matter
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: how you look at it, but the other the other one.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And this is something I've been noticing a lot more
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: of just receivers in the same spot. I see it
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: more and more. I saw it several times today and
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: one of our guys, Taekwon Thowton, seems to be involved
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: with a lot of those those times.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think another just point out athletic play Mike Kasiki,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: nice one handed catch along the along the sidelines Gabil
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Peppers was funny after practice saying, hey, we got to
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: go to the table.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: We'll see if he came down with it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: But but a real nice athletic play from Kasiki. I
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: thought had a couple you know, starting to maybe I
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: don't want to say overstated, probably best practice.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, start to.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Stand out a little bit, and you know, starting to
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: show some of that, you know, just kind of unique
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: body type athleticism that he has. So I think that's
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: you know, good sign that that he's starting to show
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: a little bit too.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah. On the interception for Gonzalez, it was Kaishan Boudi
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: and to Mario Douglas in the same area, two rookie receivers.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: You think maybe there was a little bit of a
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: miscommunication or they ended up too close to each other.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Like Paul was saying, it looked like it was a
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: post wheel, and you would just sort of like to
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: see Douglas clear it out a little bit more, you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: and that up the field and get out of the
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: picture a little bit faster than he did. But I
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: think what's interesting about Gonzales is that we've seen him
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: make some more plays on the ball, whereas last week
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: it felt like he just was a little bit of
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: a tick slow at the anticipation when the ball was
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: coming his direction and he was around the area. It
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: wasn't like he was getting burned, but he wasn't making
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: plays on the football. Today he started making some plays
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: on the ball. But one positive I did think from
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: the offense, that forty yard pass from Mac Jones to
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: DeVante Parker was the highlight of the day.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And boy, it's what he does. Yes, that's what he do. Yeah.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: But I thought it was progress because you know, last
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: week we saw Mac Jones Devonte Parker split two safeties
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: a corner in a safety excuse me, on a deep
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: post and Mac tried to lead him into the back
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: of the end zone and Parker's just not fast enough
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: to catch up to the football. So this time he
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: just put it on a silver platter for him over
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Jack Jones and allowed Devonte Parker to go up and
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: climb the ladder and pluck the ball out of the air.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: That's how he's going to win. He had Jack Jones
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: on his back throwing him or leading him into the
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: end zone. That causes him to have to catch up
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: to the football instead of just high pointing it and
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: doing what he does best. So I like that little
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: bit of progress with the chemistry that he's now throwing
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: it to a spot for DeVante Parker versus trying to
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: lead him into the end zone.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I would agree that was clearly the play of the day,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and it was kind of like a two minute drill
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: and I think it was one of those, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: sort of desperation kind of plays, but the execution was
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: really good.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: You know, there was like thirteen seconds left on the clock. Yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Mac had just spiked it to stop the clock. Maybe
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: they were down four, Maybe that was the situation.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And you know, I think you're right, and I think
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: it may not have had to be in the end zone.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: That's well, like a lot of times those plays like, well,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: you know, they just kind of throw it up there
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and one day they're supposed to catch it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: One day the defense is supposed to knock it down.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: But this play I thought actually was pretty close to normal,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: like a real play. And you know, again, depending on
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: which side you're you're hoping looks good, it's good play
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: for the offense, not such a good play for Jack Jones,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: but yeah, it was. It was definitely the play of
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: the day. Mike, you have you don't have to raise
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: your hand, Mike, you can just make open.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: And I I just thought I wanted to make sure
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: we mentioned Jonathan Jones was missing from practice.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: So Ti Montgomery, Matthew Slater, Jonathan Jones, David Andrews cole
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: strange with a five that we're not seeing interesting with
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Jones and Slater did not dress for the in stadium
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: practice Friday night. You wonder if Bill's just sort of
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: given those guys an extended veteran kind of rest. I
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: don't know or or I'm not aware of anything that
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Jones or Slater is dealing with, but you know, well,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: we'll keep an eye on it. The next two days
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: was kind.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Of a theme.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Guys gets here and there, we're getting into the into
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: the real, the real dreads of training camp. Now I
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: don't like that other phrase, so I'm trying to think
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: of a different phrase, the dog days. You don't like dogs. Yeah,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: that's why I don't like dog days. That's doors because
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: it makes you half dogs. No, I just I don't know.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: I feel like there's a negative contation.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: One other thing that I that I noticed, and I
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: don't have anything, Well, two things I should say. The
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: defense at one point I think was guilty of maybe
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: not being on the same page substitution and wise Bill
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: sent the entire defense for a lap, So that was,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: you know, sort of noteworthy. But the other thing, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know have any idea what it means or
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: what they were talking about. But Bill Belichick and Bill
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: O'Brien spent I saw that about ten minutes after practice,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: maybe more, just the two of them talking at length.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. Maybe it's like, you know, you
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: call that an offense.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I do think that's how the conversation goes.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: I'm not trying we have no idea what was no
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: So that's why I'm not trying to speculate. But you
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: mentioned at the beginning that there was a little bit
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: more of receivers on top of each other and spacing
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: issues today and timing issues today. And you do wonder
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: if he said to hey, they were talking about, Hey,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: let's not let these bad habits become regular habits. Right
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Like we saw a little bit of this today. We
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: had were really on a good upward trajectory last week,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: you know, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, I looked like strong practices
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: or Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, I should say, let's not let
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: this creep in where all of a sudden, we're letting
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: this stuff go because we got a couple good days
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: of practice.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Mike anything else, No, I'm good. I think I just
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: clocked in.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Marcus Jones was out there, you know, getting reps again
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: on the outside kind of for Jonathan Jones.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: So this is kind of a rotation that they're doing.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: No Jack Jones really out there, so it's between him
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Miles Bryant. They're kind of just experimenting with those two guys.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: But hopefully Jonathan Jones is back soon.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I think he's imporn.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Piece way down to two more training camp podcasts that
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: we have Monday Tuesday, the final two days that the
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: public will be allowed into practice.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: So it's like basically two weeks and.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: That's all she wrote. So we will be back tomorrow
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: with Day eleven.
