Jordan hails opportunity; Sunday morning notes
By Andy Hart, Patriots Football Weekly
LaMont Jordan was loving life in New England as he and his teammates hit the practice field Sunday morning at Gillette Stadium.
...
Who’s hot: Jabar Gaffney. The veteran has shown over the last two seasons to be one of Brady’s favorite targets at some key times. He’s done the same thing to open camp. He’s caught plenty of passes from No. 12 both from the slot and the outside. He also made a bid for play of the day on Sunday morning with a great catch in the back corner of the end zone beating Terrence Wheatley and Brandon Meriweather on a ball thrown by Matt Gutierrez.
Who’s not: The backup quarterbacks. Without singling any of the three out, the guys behind Brady have been less than spectacular to open camp. Sunday morning, specifically, New England defensive linemen and linebackers got their hands on too many passes, batting down balls at the line of scrimmage.
With Brady limiting his throws in camp, the trio of Matt Cassel, Gutierrez and Kevin O’Connell will see plenty of chances to step up. They need to start doing just that.
Play of the Day: Gary Guyton might not be the most notable of the Patriots rookie linebackers, but he stood out Sunday morning. The versatile rookie free agent was running with tight end Marcus Pollard in coverage when he used one hand to bat the ball in the air before cradling it in with two arms and turning up field for the would-be pick-six. After practice, Belichick had plenty of good things to say about the versatile young player out of Georgia Tech.
