The Pats had a lighter day on Tuesday after throwing on the pads for the first time on Monday. No pads on Tuesday, but still plenty to get to so let’s just dive right in… -Mac was the first guy out, trotting up the stairs and across the field during Bill Belichick’s presser around 9:30. And yes, BB was back in the red hoodie again. I’m getting over it but…
The Patriots drafted Jake Andrews, Sidy Sow and Atonio Mafi in this past April’s draft with an eye to the future. Well, the future is now for them and second year offensive lineman Chasen Hines and Andrew Stueber. None of the young lineman were expected to get as many reps as they have thus far but this is life in the NFL. Training camp is a period of opportunity for…

Monday was the first day in pads for the Patriots and needless to say, it did not live up to the expectations of fans and media alike. People at Monday’s practice were expecting more contact and physicality. Much to their chagrin, they got neither. Admittedly, the energy at practice for a first day in pads was not great. The practice lacked tempo and pace at times but it wasn’t because…
The pads came on for the first time Monday, but it was a much, much different day than many expected. Here’s everything we saw from what turned out to be a bit of an odd day for the Pats… -A much smaller crowd today. Still a pretty good size, but I wonder if the whole Monday thing just kept some people way that are able to attend various days late…
Rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas has been one of the early stars of Patriots training camp. The diminutive sixth round draft choice out of Liberty has caught people’s attention through four camp practices and has made the most of his opportunities thus far. “Pop” as he is called has impressed both as a receiver and as a return man. The humble Douglas is just trying to soak it all in….
After a day off on Saturday, the Patriots officially wrapped up their first week of training camp with a Sunday afternoon practice. Thousands of fans packed the stands and the ramps high above the practice fields at Gillette Stadium on what was truly a stunning, September-ish day. Saw people tailgating in the parking lot before which was awesome. -The offense got out of the red zone today and did a…
When you meet Keion White in person, the first you notice about him is his size. He is a big man. He also has a serious demeanor and a face that could serve as the model for a bust in the Peo Football Hall of Fame. Maybe someday, White will end up there. For now White is just focused on his first training camp and getting acclimated to playing in…
Bill Belichick has always wanted to play in 12 personnel (2TE’s, 2WR’s, 1 RB) Going back to his days with the Giants and the Browns, Belichick sees the value in the personnel grouping. He knows from a defensive standpoint, it is tough to match up against. Throughout his tenure in New England, Belichick has tried to upgrade the position so that the Patriots can play in 12 personnel as much…
The Pats went two hours in the scorching heat on Friday afternoon during Day 3 of training camp. While the offense is very vanilla so far (as Mike Gesicki talked about after practice), so there’s definitely still some questions. But, as I’ve said the past few days, it’s night and day compared to last year just in terms of a professional looking practice. Here’s everything I saw and heard from…
