Day 4 Patriots training camp notebook: QBs hit stride as offense clicks in first full-field drills

Player of the Day

Demario Douglas.

The rookie sixth-round pick is not only on the fast track to make the team, but he’ll be seeing a lot of playing time at this rate.

The 5-foot-8 slot receiver is lightning quick, crisp in his routes, and is already able to get open with relative ease against NFL cornerbacks. He showed out on Sunday.

He has been reported as being "lightning quick"

Can he do this? (I know he's not a RB)

Quickest on the team, Sammy...He's your man!

He’s got your “cat like” quickness traits for sure. See no reason you can’t adopt your trademark into the wr position.

Best way I've heard him described is he's the offensive version of Marcus Jones. So the hope is he can run the kinds of plays we saw Marcus succeed on last year, freeing him up to focus on D and PR.

Douglas is also a returner as well, so maybe he can be the primary KR and backup PR.

Gotta see how he looks when the pads come on today though. He's undersized, so him doing well in shorts is one thing. Let's see how he does when DB's can get physical with him.

Last season it was Thornton.

Can Mac see over the LOS to find this waterbug?

OT: From same article....

- Bailey Zappe had a really good Sunday. He hit Jalen Hurd, Tre Nixon, and Demario Douglas all for touchdowns in the same 11-on-11 drive.

- Tyquan Thornton showed a pulse, scoring two back-to-back touchdowns from Zappe. One on a crosser along the back endline and another beating Ameer Speed on a fade route.

Note: According to the article, Mac did manage a TD pass to a RB
Note 2.0: Mac has averaged 1.16 TD passes/gm in his pro career

Demario has skinny legs too lol

He has a similar game as Zay Flowers. I think back to Jakobi's first training camp and how he hit the ground running on day 1 and was making catches. If Douglas continues to have a good week, he's gonna make it. Then who else do we keep:
- Thornton's untouchable
- JuJu's untouchable
- Parker is probably untouchable, unless the new guy Hurd pushes him out (unlikely)
- Bourne is not untouchable but a fairly safe bet to make the team
- Douglas would be our 5th if we can afford 5. Nixon, Boutte, Webb, Lee, & Hurd would all be cut or PS.

TyMontgomery, if he isn't permanently injured, is a wildcard. They seem to like him a lot, but I don't know if he's a WR or a 3rd down back.

Really looking forward to see how he does when the pads come on, because I think Douglas' skillset is precisely what this offense needs: a guy with short area quickness that can get open early in the down. No one else fits that mold, and that's the guy who has feasted in this offense for 20 years (Troy Brown, Edelman, Welker, Amendola).

His YouTube video gives me Tyreek hill vibes.

Yeah.. this kid I watched his interview.. he has something special about him. Hi elite speed working the slot or pretty much anywhere on offense would be a welcome sight

You know something you right!! He is pretty much the same body type as hill.. hill was a punt/kick returner.. he then morphed into a WR..

 

[scott99]

His YouTube video gives me Tyreek hill vibes.

Doesn’t have the straight line speed Hill has, but he’s pretty damned fast in his own right. The shiftiness and elusiveness are awesome. He’s a perfect Patriot’s slot receiver.

 

[Dingleberry]

With the ball in his hands, he reminds me more of Dion Lewis.

**** Tyreek Hill. But I'll take that comparison too, minus the abusing children and women.

Hoping for the best outcome
