FOXBOROUGH – Another scorcher and another good day for the offense on Friday. Jumping right into it for this edition… -As usual, Sidy Sow and Michael Jordan are the first guys out at about 10:30. -Busy day for VIP guests as Ian Rapoport from NFL Network, Scott Pioli (also NFL Network now) and former BC/Falcons QB Matt Ryan were all in the house to check out practice. James White was…
FOXBOROUGH – One week from the first official game under Jerod Mayo, the Pats were back out behind Gillette on Thursday morning for the seventh training camp practice. It was brutally hot – something Jonathan Jones said the team “needed” – but the Pats were not in pads after a day off. We got a lot of red zone work though and there were some more encouraging signs for the…
Throughout the last 25 years, Bill Belichick had players vote for team captains, although many believe he would sometimes fudge the ‘vote’ to get certain guys in leadership roles. Whether he did or didn’t get involved, it’s hard to argue that the Patriots have always had some pretty damn good leaders with the title of ‘captain’ since 2000. So, with Belichick now gone, how is new head coach Jerod Mayo…
Getty Images Earlier this week, Davon Godchaux’s agent Drew Rosenhaus, Jason Rosenhaus, Matt Groh, Eliot Wolf and Robyn Glaser were all spotted having a lengthy discussion during Patriots training camp. After practice, Godchaux, Drew Rosenhaus and Jerod Mayo held a 5-10 minute talk on the Friends and Family hill too. Well, apparently those discussions were productive and positive. Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday afternoon – a day off for the…
FOXBOROUGH – The focus was back on football Tuesday morning. In what was truly the first hot, muggy, gotta-get-through it day for training camp, there was no sideshow, no negotiations for everyone to see, no fights or scrums, just football. It was the second day of pads for the players and while we still (somewhat surprisingly) haven’t seen any goal line work, we got a little bit of red zone…

FOXBOROUGH – If it feels like we’ve been talking about the uncertainty of the O-line and QB position for a while now, it’s because we have. This is Year 5 of the post-Brady era and those two questions still remain the biggest lingering over the new-look Patriots. However, one place where the Pats may actually be better than we thought is at running back. Despite the questions surrounding who’s going…
FOXBOROUGH – Well, that was something. It was a busy, newsworthy 24 hours surrounding the Patriots and that was before anything on the field took place Monday morning. The pads came on for the first time, but the real stories were off the field. Here’s everything that stood out during quite an interesting three-ish hours at gloomy Gillette Stadium… -Surprisingly pretty big crowd given the rain. There were plenty of…
FOXBOROUGH – We’re just five days in, and Jerod Mayo’s first training camp as head coach is turning into more of a sideshow than a productive football camp. On Monday, the pads came on for the first time, but it was mostly off-the-field issues that grabbed the attention of the media. On Sunday night, the team announced that Christian Barmore will be out indefinitely for a scary blood clot issue….
Christian Barmore hasn’t been seen at Patriots training camp since the first day, and he didn’t even complete that practice. Now we know why. On Sunday evening – which was also Barmore’s 25th birthday – the Patriots released a statement regarding a medical situation for Barmore. “Over the weekend, Christian Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots,” the statement read. “He was appropriately treated by the doctors at Mass General Brigham,…
