Training camp: Tuesday afternoon notes
by Paul Perillo, Patriots Football Weekly

With injuries starting to become a factor at linebacker, the Patriots worked on more four-man fronts during some recent practices. Perhaps the lack of depth at the position could lead to a more permanent change.

...

Tuesday afternoonâ€™s practice featured a 4-3 base set with veteran free agent acquisition Barry Gardner manning the middle linebacker spot. Mike Vrabel and Rosevelt Colvin manned the outside positions behind a front that included Ty Warren and Mike Wright outside and Le Kevin Smith and Vince Wilfork inside. The team also worked plenty of four-man fronts during the morning session.

Obviously the alignment doesnâ€™t necessarily mean the end of the 3-4. Belichick spends plenty of time every year working on a variety of fronts and looks and this camp has been no different. But perhaps with such a paucity of depth at linebacker he believes heâ€™ll need more 4-3 work â€“ at least early in the season if Bruschi is out for any extended period.

Wow, Perillo can see that far into the future ? Ask him the lottery results for 8/9.

Cassel's 2-minute drill reads a little better here then elsewhere. I see only one toss that might have been off, but also could have been a throw away. The dropsies didn't help his effort.
