This is the Patriots Training Camp Cast. The Patriots Training Camp Cast is your source for all the news from Patriots Training Camp. Well, I do still watch the news. Practice is over, but the writers of Patriots dot com have you covered what I miss yesterday? Now here to review today's practice. The writers of Patriots dot com, Well, we are up to eleven practices in the books, and I think this might be one that everyone was waiting for, maybe just a little bit some strides on offense. Excited
to tell you about it. Here Mike do So, Evan Lazar, Paul Parolo, Patriots dot Com back with another camp cast here for Tuesday, as we're getting ready for the New York Giants coming into town Thursday. And guys, a little bit of progress today. It felt like things kind of started to look a little bit more like we're used to in the running games. Some open holes, some open lanes, couple nice carries, maybe not you know, dominant passing performance
that we might have been hoping for. But overall, it felt like the offense looked a little bit better today, you think, PAULI I would agree. I thought there was a little bit more rhythm and I thought it really showed you know this is going to be kind of funny coming from me, But in the running game, which I don't normally care for, I thought there was some creases there. I thought, particularly Romandre Stevenson. I thought shot through a couple of gaps. Late. I thought Tie Montgomer
he had one. They're still working on a lot of you know, different situational stuff, so it's hard to tell, you know, if they caught him and maybe in some third down personnel but whatever. But I thought, no, Isaiah Win, we saw Yadney could just out there at right tackle, and I thought things were a little bit better. Yeah, Yannika just got good feet. Right's athletic guy. He can get out in space, he can move at his position.
You mentioned the two form Andre, the second one in particular, when he hit it and kind of cut it back inside, I was like, that's outside zone. Like, that's what that's supposed to look like when you put it on the on the teach tape right there, that's what it's supposed to look like. That was probably the smoothest looking outside zone run play that we've seen the Patriots aft through
two and a half weeks of training camp. So that was good to see Cole Strange also making a nice reach block on the line of scrimmage to make that happen initially for Mondre Stevenson, which is a good sign that the rookie starting to make some plays. And I thought, overall today just cleaner, crisper, cleaner, more what you expect when you come out to see the Patriots practice. Well it wasn't all clean though. There was a little bit of a fight brewing there with David Andrews Christian Barmore
both thrown out of course. Yesterday David Andrews Rallied the troops after practice, gave them a little talking to, came up in his press availability, and you know, you could tell the frustration was was boiling over a little bit. He carried that energy over today. What do you guys think of you know, Andrews and bringing a little bit of fire to the offense, probably something they needed. I liked it, And you know, it does go back to Monday and the way practice ended in Monday may have
been the worst day overall offensively that we've seen. And I think some of the frustration was spilling over with Andrews. He talked to the guys after the practice and then she spoke to us, you know, like this, it's got to get better, you know, in no uncertain terms. And I thought he came out today with I don't want to say that like more effort, because I don't think there was an effort problem. I don't think there's been
an effort problem. But I think there was a little bit more intensity, uh, certainly on offense than we've seen. We didn't see those breakdowns that we've seen from the offensive line. There were no runaway rushers that have been a big problem, and I think Andrews was part of that. They did some pass protection pass rush work earlier in practice that sort of ended a little bit with a skirmission that I think Andrews was in the middle of,
and then you know, he and Barb. I think Barmore was a little close to Mac on one of those reps and you know, don't touch Mac, don't touch Mac, don't touch the Mac. And I think Andrews I think showed good leadership there. And I mean I kind of liked it. I liked it. I loved it. I think this is exactly what you love so much about David Andrews is that he brings that edge and that leadership quality to the table, and it was clear that they really needed to set the tone and have a little
bit of a different attitude up front. You know, eleven ten practices or whatever. It's been getting pushed around a little bit by the defensive front and to see them kind of stand up to them a little bit today and say no, today is going to be a good day for us and not the way it's been so far. That that was David Andrews. I think it was the one that really came out and set that tone. Yeah,
a couple of you know, just little personnel notes. And know, yesterday we talked about Marcus Jones getting a little bit of run in the slot. I think I think you asked Evan, didn't you ask Bill about that? Today? And it seemed like they continue to rotate. It seemed like Miles Bryan getting a little bit of shot. But still I think, you know a good sign for Marcus Jones. Jonathan Jones continues to be on the outside, so it seems like they're trying to find something there. Maybe you're
still kind of experimenting a little bit. Maybe I think a lot of the offenses that you look at, especially in the division with Miami and even Buffalo to a degree, but the Jets as well. There's not a ton of size anymore at the wide receiver position. There's a lot of everybody wants separation, right, That's what everybody wants at
the receiver position as speed, separation, route running ability. So we've seen it a few times in practice that DeVante Parker has gotten matched up on Jonathan Jones and Max's just kind of thrown a pop up in DeVante Parker's direction and he's been able to go and win that hYP mismatch. But how often are you really going to see that sort of mismatch across the NFL nowadays where all of it is about technicians and athletes and explosive
players and things like that. So at the end of the day, maybe you can get Jaylen Mills onto that matchup or something like that and make sure you're a little bit more careful. But who Jonathan Jones is lined up across from. But more speed on the field is a good thing. That's what they need. Absolutely couldn't agree more. I mean, those kinds of plays with park are great, and it's a nice it's nice to have another element,
But that's not what you want to rely on. You want to have some guys that you know can win some matchups and move the ball a little bit more conventionally too. Well. Taekwon Thorne continues to look pretty good out there as well. That'll do it for us today here on the Campcast. Of course, Patriots first preseason game coming up against the Giants on Thursday night here at
Gillette Stadium. We will be here for the Patriots pregame show starting at four thirty, so tune in for that, and then we're not sure exactly what the weekend schedule is, like maybe Sunday Monday. There might be another practice prior to joint practices kicking in next week against the Carolina Panthers, which should be very telling, very excited to see that, see them go against another team and get some reps
against some opposition that is not the Patriots. So until then next week, we'll catch you on the next Training Campcast.
