Observations from 7th practice
Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

FOXBOROUGH – Five observations from the Patriots’ seventh training camp practice, which was held this morning in full pads in the Dana-Farber Field House (due to rain in the region):

1) The Tom Brady/Randy Moss Show. This was one of those practices that would make most observers step back and appreciate the excellence of two players at the top of their game – quarterback Tom Brady and receiver Randy Moss. The Patriots were working in the red zone, 11 on 11, and the competitiveness meter was high. Brady and Moss kept clicking. At one point, when Moss was coming back to the huddle, Brady waited for him and slapped his hands because he was pleased with how things were going. Moss continues to make it look easy – he was giving cornerbacks Fernando Bryant, Terrence Wheatley and Mike Richardson fits. Meanwhile, Brady, whose work had been limited in the day's first practice, was really zinging the ball in there.

With that in mind, it was interesting to watch Belichick approach the line of scrimmage during red-zone work and point a green water bottle at the football, before dousing it with water. It was difficult to tell if the offensive players even saw what he was doing – they were huddling up – but it appeared that Belichick was testing backup interior offensive lineman Dan Connolly and backup quarterback Matt Cassel to see if they could handle a wet ball. Connolly and Cassel passed the test, as they had a clean exchange.

I love our coach!

Thanks, P1, for your quick twitch
putting up these links, hot off the press.

Reiss, of course, is the gold standard when it comes to
Patriots beat reporters.

Re: Reiss 7/27 PM notes

Man I was standing in line waiting for this practice so now I am part annoyed to have missed the Moss Brady show and to miss the physical practice....still part happy to hear it.

That Belichick story is to funny and the picture is just as funny. The man thinks of it all.
