Brady just went 12 of 14 during a 7-on-7 period with 8 TDs: 30-yarders to Slater, Gronk, 20-yarders to Gray, 10-yarders to 5 others.

Troy Brown is also here. Looks like he's doing some coaching assistance for the Pats. What a lineup today.

For Moss now Troy Brown? What is this, a Patriots hall of fame gathering?

Arent they both from West Virginia?

Edit: Meaning the state, not college

It's worth noting that a Saints reporter noticed "some Grissom dude" yesterday as well.

@nick_underhill: This Grissom dude for the Pats gave some fits to Saints o-line in 1 vs. 1

Moss is definitely from WV and I think Troy is from SC. Both of them went to Marshall!

Randy definitely is. Not sure about Troy.

The DB's must just really want the day to end quickly.

There are 2 Marshall WRs on the field for the Pats and neither one is Dobson

I'm still impressed that the Saints camp at the Greenbrier. Pretty awesome spot, and there's nothing much to do for the players outside of the resort, so few distractions.

Just MArshall U.
IIRC Rand, WV is only about an hour from Greenbrier.....

@jeffphowe: Brady went 8 of 10 with 5 TDs in an 11-on-11 period. Two drops and two TDs from Gronk.

Saints perspective:

@nick_underhill: Well, the Pats just scored 5 TDs on their first drive. Shredded would be the word I'd use

Rookie OL holding up today?

Without top 4.

Randy Moss and Gronk are now having a one-on-one chat.

Probably just Randy telling Gronk that if he gained 50#'s he could battle him as the leagues best TE.

so between 7on7 & 11on11, Brady's gone 20/24 and 13 TDS.

the NFL must have really pissed him off yesterday saying the suspension should have been 8 games

Malcom Brown is having a field day with the Saints guards in 1 on 1s.

This is VERY encouraging news.

@jeffphowe: Butler's revenge: Locks up Cooks in end zone for no throw then a high-point PBU vs. Colston. Great stretch

Love it

Sean Fazende @SeanFazende
Malcolm Butler knocks away a fade route by Colston... Impressive play

Lewis, Browner, Vacarro, Byrd are all out. Breaux (in competition with Baptiste for the nickel spot) is back today.

@jeffphowe: This is a clinic. Brady just went 8 of 8, now 28 of 32 today.
