SBB's 8/15 PM practice (last one for me)
 

Well it was another fun camp this year. And the last practice was pretty entertaining.

Was there a little early and was suprised to see most of the O on the field already doing a light walk thru and since the crowd was thin early you could hear the plays being called not that I understood that much maybe one or two words on any given call.

Highlights included

a Butler pick of Hoyer, and A Merriweather pick of Robinson.

In run work Spikes dominated meeting BJGE in a gap and knocking him down causing a fumble. Next play the D kept to a 3 yard gain but Gronk knocked Tully on his butt. Then a few plays later BB set up a 4th and one and D went Big and Spikes shot into the backfield stopping the play dead 4 yards in the backfield.

At one point as the Offense broke the Huddle BB starting counting down 10-9-8......as if the play clock was running out Brady got the team up to the line and got the snap off but something went wrong as the receivers and Brady were not on the same page and brady spiked the ball in frustration.

Brace and Burgess were on the field and funny how adding one person to the LB group makes it seem much deeper but now there are 3 -4 guys on the outside and 3 on the inside 4 when Guyton comes back.

I was following Brace for a little bit who again was working at LDE seemed like mostly with the 2s. He generally seems to hold his own but he did get pushed around on one play not sure who the linemen was.

Thats it for now if something else comes to mind I will add to the thread.

Well camp is done for me and Now I will just play a few seasons of Madden waiting for the season which is right around the corner.

Should I be happy about Spikes or angry with the o line?

Great reports; thanks :)

Any Pats fan should positively giddy about Spikes. If, however, you're just an off-season Sox fan, you may dither about whatever shortcomings you may perceive. Edit: Oh yeah, ;)

Thanks for the reports this year.

I'm in with the others -- great thanks to you and all the other "reporters" from training camp. Wish I could've been there with you!

That's why it's called training camp.
