We’re on to the preseason. Yes, it’s two different things. Training camp ended on Tuesday with a final padded practice before the first exhibition game against Houston Thursday night. While it’s still tough to gauge a ton with the offense since the line is still in disarray, it’s hard not to be encouraged with the fact that even with the backups, the offense has shown an ability to function and…
It is the final practice before Thursday’s preseason opener against the Texans. The Patriots will more than likely go through a low intensity group and team centered practice as they rep plays, fronts and coverages that they will use on Thursday night. Here are five things we are watching in today’s practice. 1. Personnel watch- Today’s practice will give us a pretty good idea of who is playing and what…
It was Day 11 of Patriots Training Camp and the weather was the story as it poured most of practice. The inclement weather did not really impact the team. They seemed to be handling it well for the most part. Some might question practicing in these conditions so early in the season but you need to practice in the elements. You can never have enough rain practices. Especially this time…
Bill Belichick must’ve loved what he saw on Tuesday. Not the performances (defense dominated the day), but the off-and-on downpours provided the team with the first true test of ball security and overall execution in bad weather. The Pats were in pads for two hours in the rain and the lack of healthy offensive line bodies continues to make things difficult. 11 down, one to go before real football on…
Plenty of storylines to look ahead to in what could be a wet and wild day in Foxboro. The forecast is for heavy rain this afternoon and you know Bill Belichick will never pass up an opportunity to practice in the rain so expect the Patriots to practice. Bring your umbrella. Here are five things we are watching in today’s practice. 1. Thornton Gate- Tyquan Thornton worked with Bailey Zappe…
It’s game week. The Pats were on the fields behind Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon for the first of three practices prior to the first preseason game at home against Houston Thursday night. No pads on Sunday, but there was a good amount of stuff to take from the day… -Thought it’d be a bigger crowd for a Sunday, but bleachers were still about 3/4 full. There’s definitely some things…
After having Saturday off, the Patriots return to practice this afternoon. The last time we saw the team was on Friday night in the in-stadium practice. We didn’t get much from that practice as it was a glorified walk-through. Perhaps the biggest takeaway from Friday was Matthew Judon signing a contract adjustment that raised his guaranteed money for 2023 from $2 million to potentially $18 million. Here are five things…
Patriots cornerback Jack Jones met with the media after Friday night’s in-stadium practice. Jonathan Jones was supposed to speak but he did not practice. https://twitter.com/newftbj/status/1687627821110247424?s=46&t=0-klhPVppXQ66vGpXhGesA Jones did not comment on what happened on June 16th at Logan Airport. He has been instructed not to by his attorney. Jones was arrested for having two firearms on his carry on luggage. He was charged on two of five counts and posted his…
The Pats were back at it inside Gillette Stadium on Friday night for the annual season ticket holder and Foxborough resident practice. -Corliss Waitman and Chad Ryland were first out at 6 PM, along with Bryce Baringer -Fans began streaming in at 6:04 as kids rushed to the first few rows behind the benches to try and get a great view and maybe some autographs following the two-ish hour session….

The adjustment allows Judon to make up to $18 million dollars this season. Judon’s contract has been hovering over the Patriots since the start of training camp. He has been a limited…
