Training Camp-Cast 8/10: Joint Practice Prep, Doubs Shows Improvement, O-Line Competition · Patriots Unfiltered

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The Patriots are back on the practice fields after two
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: days off, they get ready for joint practices with the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Let's break it down.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Welcome everybody to the Patriots Training Camp cast presented by
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: New Balance. And yes, we had a weekend off, we
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: were back on the field today. Intensity dialed down a
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: little bit after a bunch of padded practices in a row.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Paul would say, this was, as you said, walking off
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the field, maybe putting things in place to have a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: good practice tomorrow against the Indianapolis.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it looked like to me, was some
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: prep work for what they're going to see with the Colts.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: That looked like the first offense and defense were working
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: separately against you know, some of the backup players. My
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: inference there would be that they were probably running against
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Colts stuff on both sides. I thought the tempo was
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: a little slower as well, even when they did you know,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: ones against ones. Later on, a lot of red zone
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: work with that, some two minute stuff, some situational work.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: So all in all, you know, kind of uneventful, but
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: you know, you got to have the you got across
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: these days off. It's coming together.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say, most of practice was at best
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: three quarter speed, like they weren't going full speed, but
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: first scout team type of stuff. As Paul said, I
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: thought of really training camp and not only the practice tomorrow,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: but a lot of these guys are obviously going to
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: play on Thursday night in the preseason opener too, so
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: you don't want them going and completely cold without knowing
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: at all what the Colts are going to run and
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: what they're going to do. So not a full game
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: prep like you will see in the regular season, but
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: they at least get a little bit of taste of
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: what Indianapolis is going to bring here tomorrow, so you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: a couple of highlights. Carlton Davis being back was exciting.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: It was good to see that, but for the most part,
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: it was more about participation attendance than what actually happened.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I was a little surprised to see Davis based on
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: what Mike Grabil said on Friday about not seeing him
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: till the end of next week. Maybe he meant more
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: in terms of, you know, the full full Carlton Davis
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: because he did little more than positional stuff today. Yeah.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: No, Christian Barmore as well, that's the second practice, he's missed.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Charles Woods wasn't out there Kendo wldor taking his snap.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I thought he had a couple nice plays there down
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in the red zone. Also thought of Eli Reraredan gets
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: some chances. The two tight ends set down to the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: reds out end were caught, some caught some passes there
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: from Drake. But again a lot of rotation going on
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: with these guys, so it's hard to like, you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: really discern who's rising, who's falling, all that kind of stuff.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But it is obvious who's getting the chances With Drake Man,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I think that's what's you know, most important. But Eli Reridan,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and we got to mention too, of course Hunter Henry
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: signing a two year extension today reportedly, So rare it
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: In now in the mix. Maybe I think we'll probably
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: see a lot of him over the next couple of days,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you know, tomorrow, and then into the preseason.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think it is. You know, we
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: keep talking about the cliche of you know, rere it
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: In is more of a pass catcher, you know, Arkin
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: is more of the blockers. So you're starting to see
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: now when it's two tight end looks and it's rared
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: In and Henry. It's probably spread, you know, maybe some
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: some some passing going on when Arkin's out. There are
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of first downs that we've seen in these
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: team periods have featured Tan or Arkin. Obviously you're looking
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: more to the run game, so probably looking to get
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: some of those trends bucked a little bit, figure out
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: some ways around it. But yeah, I think reard In
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: has made some slow but steady progress, if that's fair.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I would say the same thing about Romeo Dobbs.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: There's a little baby steps each day. It's not, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Gangbusters quite yet, but I think that he's getting a
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: little bit better and better each day. And I see
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Drake May figuring him out a little bit more. You know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: he's more of a strong at the catch point, go
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: get the ball, put it on him type of player
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: than what they had was Tefon Diggs, who is more
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: of a route runner and separator. So just a little
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: bit of a transition there in that zerole. But I
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: see every day Dobbs kind of getting a little bit
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: more and more comfortable. I thought he had to highlight
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: a practice at the end over Christian Gonzalez in the
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: back of the end zone. That was a really nice catch,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: maybe his best play at camp to date. And I
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: thought that he got behind Kendallvilledor, but the ball was
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: thrown a little bit inside. If that I had been
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: on his outside shoulder, I think that might have been
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: a deep ball too. So a little bit of flash
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: from Romeo Dobbs. I know I've been small sea concerned
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: about it, but I'm getting you know, it was like
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: twelve size pomp. Maybe now it's like ten. You know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: you get a little bit smaller each day, which is
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: what you want to say.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It helps when you make a catch over Christian Gonzalez,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: but again, you know, just showing up. And it's a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: good sign Paul too, because he missed a couple of days.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: We don't know exactly what Michael Vverbel said. It was
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a good thing, personal thing that he was not out there.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: A little worried briefly that he was maybe hurt, but
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: seemed like he picked right back up and is building
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: some momentum.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I would agree with Evan's assessment. I thought
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: he was he was open at times and then he
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: made plays that you show that that kind of physicality
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: that he has at the catch point and the one
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: in the end zone. I was not quite as impressed,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: but almost so with a little two minute work, very
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: end of practice, catches a little sideline route on you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: back shoulder kind of a route with with Gonzalez again,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: you know, tightly in coverage. You know, Christian's been pretty
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: physical in his coverage. That's doobs his game. He's able
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: to sort of show his strong hands on those soul
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I would agree I arrow up on Dobbs.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I know it wasn't full speed too, but it seemed
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: like they were getting a j brown away from Gonzales
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit today and he was having on maybe
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a little bit more success, especially you know on the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: crossers and stuff. But he continues to show up overall.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I think we're watching for, you know, is Barmore probably
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: not going to be back out there tomorrow. Will Campbell
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: was back out there today, so that's a good sign
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: for his participation tomorrow. I'll just say right now, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: him and Lomu two pieces I'm really excited to see tomorrow.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You know, not just the one on one stuff, but
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the team stuff as well. How do they hold up
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: against you know, real NFL competition.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that Lomu right now is in a
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: little bit of a competition with Marcus Bryant.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I really do.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: And I know that people are going to say, oh,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: he's a first round pick versus a seventh round pick,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: it shouldn't be a competition, but that's where we're at
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: and Marcus Bryant today, it's kind of a left tackle
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: day for Caleb Lomu. So Marcus Bryant taking a lot
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: of those Morgan Moses snaps at right tackle, and Moses was,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: you know, load managing or whatever we want to call it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: So we'll see.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I thought in one on ones Lomu looked a lot better.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: He's three and oh today, but he was at left,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: which we know he's comfortable at left. So the question
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: is is, you know, how does his development on the
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: right side catch up to where he's at on the
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: left side. But Marcus Bryant continues to be in the
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: mix for that swing tackle job, so it'll be interesting
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: to see how that plays out.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well that's going to do it for
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: this Monday, Big Day Tomorrow, joint practice against the Indianapolis Colts.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Gates open at nine pint fifteen. Here we'll be live
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: on the radio nine forty five to take you into
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that practice. If you're not able to make it down here,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: but if you are, get your butt down here. It's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a great take going U against the Indiapolis Colts. The
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: players are excited finally hit somebody else.
