Patriots: Sights, sounds & thoughts from Day 12 of training camp

August 15, 2022

With Carolina set to visit Tuesday and Wednesday for joint practices before a preseason game Friday night, the Pats weren’t in pads on Monday, but still got some things accomplished. Jumping right into the next installment of sights, sounds and thoughts… -I believe Brendan Schooler was first out today, not Terrance Mitchell. However, Coach Belichick and the assistant coaches were talking as players made their way out, so there’s a…

Baby steps. After a putrid practice for the offense on Monday, things looked a bit better on Tuesday. The team moved practice from 4 to noon in order to beat any thunderstorms, so the guys got the full dose of heat once again. This was a day where the staff seemed to want to slow things down a bit, coach more and ultimately get the running game going first and…

Patriots: Seymour’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame important for preserving the dynasty’s rightful place in history

Photo: Georgia Bulldogs Richard Seymour officially went into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday afternoon and his induction was critically important for maintaining New England’s place in football history. You would think that the HOF will be littered with Patriots the next decade or so after winning six titles since 2001, but that’s probably not going to be the case. Ty Law and now Seymour will probably be…

Patriots: The Patriots have a coordinator conundrum on offense

By Mason Sousa, NEFJ Contributor There’s a brand new offense being implemented over at 1 Patriot Place. The offense that has been around the majority of the 21st century has taken its talents to Tampa where the 45 year old Tom Brady continues to do his thing and also to the desert in Vegas where Josh McDaniels takes another crack as a NFL Head Coach. It publicly seems to the…

Patriots: Sights, sounds & thoughts from Day 9 of training camp (Gillette Stadium practice edition)

For the first time in 2022, the Patriots played some football inside Gillette Stadium on Friday night. The annual season ticket holder and Foxborough resident practice drew a good crowd that almost filled the lower bowl. A rainbow came out after vicious thunderstorms just before the Patriots took the field, but it wasn’t a good omen as there’s still a lot to figure out about this team with inconsistency rearing…

Patriots: Strange getting the hang of things in his first training camp

It’s a strange new world for the Patriots’ first round draft pick. Sorry, that was so lame, but I had to do it. Cole Strange spoke to the media following practice on Thursday afternoon and sounded like you’d expect a wet-behind-the-ears rookie to sound like. Luckily for him and other rookies in his position, football is a game after all and while most days in the Bill Belichick era have…

Patriots: A focused and committed Christian Barmore is dominating in camp and that’s not good for his teammates or opponents

August 4, 2022

Second year defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been a force thus far in training camp. He has been virtually unblockable at times. Veterans and rookies alike are struggling to block him one on one and on double teams. Barmore has come into camp in good shape, something that was a point of emphasis for him. He dedicated himself this off-season and the work is paying off thus far. He is…

Jumping right into it today… -Eight practices, eight straight days being the first one out for Terrance Mitchell. Today may have been the longest period of time in-between Mitchell’s arrival and the next guy out, which was Jalen Mills followed by Malcolm Butler. -Practice got going a bit late today, but for a good reason. It was rookie “slip & slide day” with Matthew Slater manning the hose. A staff…

We’re officially a week into the 2022 season and few questions have been answered. Wednesday’s practice was probably the lightest one so far, with any drills or team periods being ran anywhere between 50-75% speed. Still, a few things stood out as we head towards the first preseason game a week from Thursday… -Seven for seven. Terrance Mitchell kept the clean sheet going for arrivals as he was the first…

The first week of training camp came to an end with one more practice on Saturday morning and it was another good day for the defense. Let’s just jump right into some sights, sounds and thoughts on the day and where things stand after four practices. -Not only was there a standing room only crowd in the bleachers and on the hill on Saturday, but there was even overflow “traffic”…
