Training Camp: Saturday evening notes
By Andy Hart, Patriots Football Weekly
The passing game was the focus Saturday evening as the Patriots closed out a second day of double sessions at Gillette Stadium. The team had to compete for attention in the air though, as a passing storm left a distinct rainbow in the sky above the practice action.
Mother Nature and the Patriots combined to bring the excitement as the team returned to the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium for Saturday evening’s session in shorts, shoulder pads and helmets. While Bill Belichick’s team put in its second straight relatively crisp workout, it was the weather that stole the show as the first part of practice saw a fast moving storm blow through that included heavy rains, high winds and left a pair of rainbows grazing the sky above the practice action. One of the rainbows actually appeared to touch down on the far end of one of the practice fields.
Once the brief but dramatic weather cleared through, the rest of the workout took place under partly cloudy skies and warm temperatures as the day’s second session focused primarily on the passing game.
