from BSJ - Live coverage: Day 3 of camp

  • First hitting drill of camp was TEs sealing the edge against DEs. Nothing dominating but Rob Gronkowski, Matt Lengel and James O’Shaughnessy did a nice job. Trey Flowers was toughest to block.
  • In a run-blocking drill, DT Lawrence Guy looked really good, and Darius Kilgo and Josh Augusta showed well for the defensive line. Shaq Mason showed improved technique on the run. And Kony Ealy was admonished by coaches for doing the wrong thing on the final snap.
  • Not sure what this means, but on the first snap of two-straight competitive blocking drills, Gronkowski ended up on the ground. Not optimal.
  • Ted Karras really looks the part at backup center.
 
more from Bedard

  • First round of OL vs. DL one-on-ones have concluded (my favorite part of camp). Quickie takes: defense held slight edge 13-11-6. Standouts were Kilgo, Cole Croston and Lawrence Guy. Cam Fleming did not show well.
 
I'm hearing it's bombs being thrown down the field to Cooks. Man, this offense is going to be insane, especially if Gronk stays healthy! OMG! As Rodney said in 2007, "You can't double everybody."

This line is confusing from Bedard. He's not sure what that means but he says it's "not optimal"? Guys get beat all the time, even Gronk. Somehow losing one or two battles in camp and that takes away his 7 year career resume of superior blocking ability? I don't get that. It's stuff like that that makes me hesitant to subscribe.
 
Should be interesting to see the o-line going against the D-line. Let's hope for no injuries!!!
This is the main thing I want to hear about today! I've been waiting for this since Spring.
