PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp - Day 12

[Wozzy]

We're hearing a lot more about Khalil Jacobs than we are KJ Britt. I'm not sure if Jacobs is a backup MIKE though.

I think he is right behind Muma at Mike and Obi right behind Elliss at Will.

Good depth assuming health and it continues to play out this way.

Not “thin”…

I listed Jacobs/Holmes as one of the important backup LB roster battles. Not sure who it will be.

It's obvious why Maye and Wilson were packaged together in the scrimmage draft but Chism being paired with Hollins as the only other two players to be matched up is interesting. I wonder what's going on there. Special packages maybe? I know they're big buddies but that doesn't seem like enough reason to make them the only exceptions.

I really think that the reason was the vibes.

 

[Wozzy]

Do we need to worry about Campbell. He's had that arm brace, now he's missing practice?
Also, if Henry has a bum ankle already, we might have to seriously consider Jonnu Smith.
I've said for months that TE is paper thin. Henry is old and due for another injury. Raridon could be good, but not ready to be TE1 all year as a rookie. Arkin & Dippre are not the answer.

Nah, this time of year tweaks and strains get a lot of time and care. Until we hear some bad news from the team too much shouldn’t be made of it.

The vets, known starters have to be healthy for the regular season, that’s more important than getting them preseason reps. Also there are guys further down the depth chart who need crucial snaps and development. This is a good opportunity for Bryant, Lomu and Crownover.

The stats from the scrimmage

 

[mgteich]

sure

It is quite possible that we have 7 WR's for the week after the so-called final cutoff date, especially if there are teams still interest in a trade for one of them. I don't expect to have 7 on the 53-man roster for Game 1.

 

[mgteich]

Last season, Maye tried connecting with Williams on shorter routes where the WR reads the defender and turns outside or inside depending on coverage, but sometimes Williams turned the wrong way.

Only his rookie year, so I expect year 2 to be better.

I agree, but his rookie bar was a very low bar.

I don't think Vrabel was being that coy in his thinking.

 

[mgteich]

good for WR's that Minor is getting reps

It will now be fascinating to see what Bedard writes about today because he’s been tough on Lomu.

Also: who the **** is Drake Silver? Is that even real?

 

[mgteich]

I think that Lomu is at least as ready as the media and staff thought he'd be when he was drafted.

Of course, many posters want him to start this year or at least be the first backup at every position but center.

This is not a legit report. See previous tweet about Boutte.

Worst thing Twitter/X did was give a checkmark to anyone. The old way it was so much easier to see who is legit and who isn't.

What Bedard and others apparently don’t realize is one on ones is an excercise to make individual players better… it’s not real football.

Defenders have an advantage in one’s because O-Linemen don’t have inside help or even another set of bodies inside creating an impassible wall.

On top of that Lomu was a rookie going against guys who have been pros for years in some case. “Struggles” are relative, and it’s good to hear Lomu looked good in team drills today on the left side. All rookies struggle at some point, then they often get better.

Obiazor has flashed a few times in the sea of reports. Same for Pettus.

Very little on Britt or Hutchins for what it’s worth. Add Hutchins off-field issue and he was already a long shot

The stats from the scrimmage

More of the same from Jennings. I think the 3rd back will be Larison or Jam.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

His demise has been greatly exaggerated.

I remember when during training camp in 2007, there were posters who were sure Randy Moss was going to be cut........
