  Speaker 1: I'm good. This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Patriots Training Camp Cast is your source for all the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: news from Patriots Training Camp. Well, I do still watch
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the news. Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: dot com have you covered? What did I miss yesterday?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Now here to review today's practice? The writers of Patriots
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: dot com. All right, the sixth practice of Patriots Training
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Camp twenty twenty two is in the books, the second
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: padded practice, and we are here to get you, guys
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: cut up on everything that happened here at July Stadium
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: today on Tuesday, August second. This is Mike Tusseau joined
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: by Paul Pirillo, Evan Lazar Patriots dot Com. We're all
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: out there today, guys. It was a hot one day
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: two of PADS and I'm gonna start with you, PAULI
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: what what What's a big takeaway you had from day
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: two here in pads? A lot more of the defensive front,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I think, really controlling the line of scrimmage. That to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: me was a constant both days, you know, running game,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: passing game, consistently pushing the pocket, making Mac Jones and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy sort of pulled the ball down and improvised,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the offense not really looking overly cohesive, and I think
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it's all started up front. I think the defensive front
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: front seven for the Patriots has really controlled things really
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: in both days. Yeah, certainly not not great from the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: offense last couple of days, but not totally devoid evan
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of a couple of good plays, couple of guys standing
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: out here and there, who are a couple of positive
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: guys on the offense you think have had a good
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: day day and a half. Here it seems like they're
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: receiving Corps is trading off good days, right, which I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: think speaks to the fact that they might be one
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: of those teams that has good depth but doesn't necessarily
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: have that number one guy. And that's okay. One week
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it might be Kendrick Boring goes off, the next week
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it's Nelson Agalore, And today that's who it was in practice,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: going right down the right sideline against Justin Bethel and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: coverage and went right by him as you hope he would,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and caught a deep ball from Mac Jones about forty
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: five yards in the air. When the opportunity has been
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: presented to them by the things going on up front,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: which I think we'll probably talk about it. As Paul
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: just touched on the downfield passing has been a little
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: bit more available, I would say, than what we saw
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: last year. It does seem like Aglare and Mac have
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit more chemistry going into year two. Taekwon
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Thoran can certainly get up the field, as we know
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Davante Parker has that element to his game as well.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So stretching the field is one thing that again, when
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the offensive line is held up and everything has allowed
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: them to do that, it has looked a lot better
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: this year so far. So Paul mentioned the defensive front,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and certainly Christian Barmore is a guy that everybody's got
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: their eyes on. We've had a couple of days of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: one on one in pads. He's just a handful. I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: mean it doesn't win every rap, but he at least
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: comes close. I think every time gobble us the offensive
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: linemen that have to have to deal with him from
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a snap to staff basis. But overall, are you buying
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: on the defensive front, and we have big questions on
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the secondary too, Are you buying on this defense right
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: now in the type of performance, I don't know. It's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: hard to It's hard to really make that evaluation based
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: off of how little we've seen. I do I buy
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: on bar More, for sure. I think he's terrific, But
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the defense's edge and play over
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the majority of the first week here has been about
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that or about the lack of execution on offense, which
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: is to me precipitated by the stuff that you know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Evan talked about with you know, the transition that the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: offense is going through. We talked about a lot on
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Patriots Unfiltered as well. So I want to temper you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the you know, the over the top praise of the defense.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I think the defense has controlled things for the most
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: part in every practice that we've seen, probably with the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: exception of the very first one. But at the same time,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the offense is the one that's making some wholesale changes.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well the reserve judgment, Yeah, let's let's sit
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you up for that, Evan, and a little bit of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the offensive wholesale changes. Uh, you know, just obviously we're
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Patriots dot Com. We're not we're not going to break
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: down the we're not going to send out the laybook
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: or anything. But you know, just generally, what have you
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: kind of seen from the offense and how do you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: feel like they're kind of evolving? What direction are they
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: pointing it. It's definitely more of a Shanahan e type
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of look to it from what we've seen over the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: last two padded practices in particular, and I think when
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you ever, you try to implement that type of scheme
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and not to sugarcoat it, because quite frankly, the running
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: game for the first two days of PADS has not
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: looked good. It's been a slow burn here. But you
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: have patience, I think is the keyword right where when
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you're implementing a scheme like this, it is a very
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: big difference from what they've done in the past, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: it is a scheme that is predicated on timing the rhythm,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the timing of the blocking upfront and the cutback lanes
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: presented to the running backs and things like that. It
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: all has to go in concert and that's going to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: take some time. And to steal from Bill Belichick, they
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: don't play a regular season game tomorrow, so they have
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: another month or here so or here to really work
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: through some of those things. I think right now, what
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you're seeing with the offensive line in pass protection at times.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Two is not physical limitations. It's not guys blowing blocks,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it's not guys getting beat. It's more so, well, who's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: got that guy right? You know? What are we doing here?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: How we get into this block there? And figuring those
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: things out is going to take time and repetition. I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: think that's a good point, because I don't I don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: think it's as much about not being good enough as
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it is not really being sure what they're doing. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: agree with Evan's assessment on that. The good news is
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: from a health standpoint, just to get everybody up to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: speed on you know what's going on. They're they're pretty
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: healthy roster. I mean it's still Brian Hoyder has been
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: out the last couple of days. Bill Belichick said this
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: morning doesn't expect that to be much longer. And then
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: James White still on PUP and the two rookie offensive
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: lineman Hines and Stuber are on NFI. But overall, you're
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: starting to get the players that that open camp on
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: lists back into the mix. We're seeing more Miles Bryant,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Jones, Jabrill Pepper has been a little slower acclamation
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and David Andrews has been out there taking reps eleven
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: on eleven, so well, a lot of the league is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: sort of dealing with some health issues here at the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: start of camp. The Patriots are pretty healthy, all right. Well,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that'll wrap up this edition of the Camp Cast. If
