Patriots Training Camp Day 3 (Easley and Blount active)

Dominique Easley is off PUP. He is on the field in full uniform. #Patriots

LeGarrette Blount is off NFI. He just walked onto the field in pads. #Patriots

Easley is a nice surprise, the designation had me worried. As for Blount I cut him some slack. Antowain Smith had trouble with the RB sprints at 232. Blount is 250 and trying to meet the standard of guys 50 pounds less. It's an unfair standard, but he must be in good shape to compete with those third down backs in fitness.

Devlin at 255 and a FB probably has a much easier fitness test, if it's like it was in A smith's day

More important than just being out there :

Paul Perillo ‏@pfwpaul 5m5 minutes ago
Easley and Malcom brown were also noticeable. Easley was strong in one on ones in his first practice.

Yummy :

It's early, but Aaron Dobson has had a good camp. It's nice that it's starting to come together for him.

That's great news about Easley. I was worried about that.

Though, wasn't' there a question of Dobson being stripped n the entire offence needing to run a lap?

Good news about Easley and Dobson....also curious to see how our young interior O-line develops.

I am loving me some of those reports. Know it's early and such, but it sure beats words like "under-achieving" or "PUP"...

Chandler Jones, Jabal Sheard, Malcolm Brown and Dominique Easley as down lineman.

I think we have a pass rush Patriots fans.

Watched Dominique Easley blow past OT Marcus Cannon in 1-on-1 drills; took note because was curious if we'd see that type of explosion.

Nice to see Cannon start off like he finished last year

Seriously ? You can't bury a guy for one play, it's the entire day/week/camp as a whole that matter. Not perfect does not equal not very good.

Malcolm Butler looked really good in coverage. Had a couple of impressive battles with Edelman.

Man I hope you are right.

I was there today. Just great to be watching football instead of the other craps.

I really like Richards. Seems to be tight in coverage often and made one nice break up against Chandler. Chandler used his size made the initial catch but Richards knocked it loose.

Butler looks good too but I thought Logan Ryan really stood out in the secondary. Couple nice break ups and tight coverage.

Edelman and Amendola stand out and Dobson actually made a few nice plays too.

Watched Mason and Jackson closely for awhile and they seemed to struggle in pass protection but opened up some nice runs. All and all the group of Stork, Mason, and Jackson seems good.

Nice to see Easley back and noticed he made a few nice rushes. Sheard also had a would be sack though it had more to do with coverage.

Absolutely loved seeing Mayo back. Looked like his old self made a pass break up or two and looked best in one on one passing drills for LBs.

That's it for now got a party to run to if I think of more I'll add it.

I had a good time today. Few things I noticed (it's hard to notice a lot in all of the 75%, thud, etc)
- gronk and chandler lined up on the same side a lot. That could be real interesting
-Dobson caught a comeback and Collins flew to him and punched it out. Cool play by Jamie
- butler locked up Amendola in goal line 1v1s. Ball hit off butler's shoulder, dola caught it behind him as he went to the ground. Seen that before...

Siliga looked huge yesterday in shells, and Chris Jones and Alan Branch have yet to see the field. Quite the group up front. Sad to know that Vince is gone, but you have to like the replacements at that position group.

I feel the need to reiterate my post from another thread.

Let's wait until we get near the preseason before we start with the kneejerk reactions.

Brady's offense ran a drill by the sideline next to the stands. Two fans behind Brady held up signs: "Defend the wall" and "Goodell's a bum"
