Training Camp 8/4 Updates

Hey, hadn't seen anything posted yet, so PLEASE post anything you hear/see. Need actual football updates in my life. Feel free to merge if I missed today's thread.

I second that motion. How is day 5 going?

Fans are serenading birthday boy Brady while ESPN reporters on hand are hurling insults at him

They get a late start today? Thought camp started around 1:45 today. Unless "start" includes stretching for an hour.

@PatriotsHaven: 11-on-11 time w/ crowd noise. Brady leading "1st team" offense. 3-4 look from D. Sheard/Ninko at OLB. Jones at DE. Butler, Brown, Ryan at CB

@PatriotsHaven: Oline vs Sline 1-on-1. Jabaal Sheard w/ a nasty rip inside to beat Bryan Stork. 7-on-7s on other field. Jimmy G picked off by Nate Ebner.

@jeffphowe: Malcolm Butler intercepts Brady for his first turnover of camp. Pass was to Boyce.

@DougKyedNESN: Tom Brady just threw his first interception of training camp. Malcolm Butler cut Josh Boyce's route and picked Brady.

@Dan_Hope: Helps he doesn't have to deal with Edelman but #Patriots CB Malcolm Butler has been outstanding in coverage today. Just picked off Brady.

Also, thumbs up to a CB trio of Butler, Brown, Ryan. Hope it sticks.

@jeffphowe: Tyms looks badly hurt during a 1-on-1 tackling drill. Getting carted off. Drill went on around him as he lay on the ground.

Might be Gibson or nobody for WR5.

Butler-Brown-Ryan is probably the best combo I can think of. Keep Fletcher as veteran depth and Roberts as the young rookie with upside (like Butler was last year) and you're probably set...

Crap. I was rooting for Tyms. Not good news there.

Dobson and Boyce time to shine really liked Tyms tough break for the kid maybe it's not as bad as it looks wait to hear more.

That's great, but let's see him do that in a real game that matters

All the brake-pumpers need to recognize that this kid is a star in the making

Such contact is part of getting into football shape. Looked significant for WR Brian Tyms, whose right arm was held by athletic trainers.

Patriots WR Brian Tyms carted off after taking big hit in 1-on-1 fundamental tackling drills from CB Robert McClain.

Crappy for Tyms. But, Tyms injury easier to surmount than others - obv.

Tyms is kind of a big dude. McClain really must've crunched him.

Patriots WR Brian Tyms was carted off the field with an apparent arm injury in Tuesday's practice.

According to the Boston Globe's Shalise Manza Young, "several teammates gathered when he went down." ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss reports Tyms took a "big hit" in 1-on-1 tackling drills, and that his injury "looked significant." Anything more than a day-to-day issue would threaten to send the 2014 preseason star to I.R.

I hope he is ok.

I wonder if Josh Boyce's route running contributed to the pick.

I can almost guarantee that was on Boyce's route running..or he didn't fight for the ball. Hope i'm wrong and Butler just made a good play.

@PatriotsHaven: Goal line drills always bring out a lot of energy and passion from players. Defense won the majority of the battles today. #Patriots

Tyms injury looked significant eh? I wonder if he got "Lane'd."
