SBB'S 7/28 AM session notes

[signbabybrady]

Here waiting. Practice pushed until 10. Don't expect anything special today but a first look at the guys

 

[signbabybrady]

Kickers ls and kettani first on the field

 

[signbabybrady]

Woodhead is thick.....

 

[TheBaronPatriot]

Woodhead is thick.....

He no longer has the high school player look to him?
Does he look more like Kevin Faulk?
How is his quickness, cutting, and accelerations?

 

[signbabybrady]

Most rooks are mia....still no contracts I guess. Udfas are here. No kaczur. Spikes is out there so much for Twitter rumors

 

[BradyManny]

SBB, thanks for the updates as always. Maybe you or another here can clear this up for me: I thought there were no 2-a-days as part of the new CBA, the Pats are scheduling two practices a day so far. Did I miss something?

There can be 2-a-days, but one practice has to be a no pads practice.

Reiss tweets that this will be a walkthrough.

There can be 2-a-days, but one practice has to be a no pads practice.

According to a summary from the NFLPA, the new rules are:

* 2-a-days limited to a total of 4 or 4.5 hours (I've seen both numbers)
* One practice a day maximum in pads, limited to max 3 hours
* NFLPA can make unannounced visits to ensure compliance
* Teams/coaches that violate the rules face heavy fines (first violation = $100K each; second violation = $250K for the coach/$500K for the team)

I believe the first few days are walk throughs only, as they are considered transitional practices.

Thanks. I wasn't sure how it all worked.

Great, thanks for the headsup, that clears it up

 

[Angry Man]

Woodhead is thick.....

That worries me.

[BlueThunder]

I thought BB mentioned that the second practice would be actually huddling up and running plays......maybe I didn't understand what he said in the presser....

 

[signbabybrady]

Probably the dullest practice I have seen ever but fun to see the guys. I had to leave a touch early so missed what would have been the best part

I wonder if it's legal to have half the team do pads in the morning while the other half does a walk through and then switch in the afternoon thus maximizing the snaps in pads for everybody. So in the AM first offense goes against the second defense in pads while the first defense and second offense do a walk through. Then in the afternoon they switch.

 

[signbabybrady]

That worries me.

In a good way. He is short but clearly stout enough to take a pounding. I knew this but is more evident up close and personal with no pads.

It almost certainly isn't, simply because it would be too hard to verify that everyone is doing exactly one padded practice.

No point to pads if you have no one to hit.
