Training Camp 8/4 Updates

[FourierSeries]

@PatriotsHaven: Goal line drills always bring out a lot of energy and passion from players. Defense won the majority of the battles today. #Patriots

This is excellent to hear.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I can almost guarantee that was on Boyce's route running..or he didn't fight for the ball. Hope i'm wrong and Butler just made a good play.

Malcolm suckered Brady into making a bad pass. He owns Brady.

 

[Love The Drake]

The Butler serving QBS because he loves to.

Please keep the current info going also let us know if any whispers are hear on Tyms.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Patriots WR Brian Tyms was carted off the field with an apparent arm injury in Tuesday's practice.

According to the Boston Globe's Shalise Manza Young, "several teammates gathered when he went down." ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss reports Tyms took a "big hit" in 1-on-1 tackling drills, and that his injury "looked significant." Anything more than a day-to-day issue would threaten to send the 2014 preseason star to I.R.

I hope he is ok.

Without knowing anything hoping for PUP.

If it was bone-sticking-out bad hes IR'd

@jeffphowe: Brady was 21 of 27 with an INT in team drills. Garoppolo 16 of 25 with an INT.

 

[Oswlek]

Without knowing anything hoping for PUP.

Not possible since he already practiced.

Yikes so IR or nothing? Learn something new every day...

@WEEI: Tuesday Training Camp Notes: Danny Amendola, Malcolm Butler stand out as Pats sweat it out in Foxboro http://t.co/EU5HcUbBmB

"Brady was picked by Malcolm Butler in 11-on-11s midway through practice — it was Brady’s first turnover of the summer. (Nate Ebner got an interception on a ball for Jimmy Garoppolo earlier in practice.) The ball was intended for Josh Boyce, and Butler undercut the route. Butler also had a really impressive pass break up on a goal-line drill where he knocked the ball away from Dobson. This has been mentioned by many of my colleagues, but it certainly bears repeating: Butler has been very good over the first week of camp. He is not Darrelle Revis, version 2.0, but he’s been extremely competitive to this point in the summer, and when he’s been beaten, it’s only been because of a really impressive hookup between the quarterback and pass-catcher."

There is IR and IR-designated-to-return. There is also an injury release.
You don't really want to use the one IR-designated-to-return on a guy on your bubble.
In 2012 they used that slot on Visanthe Shiancoe and ended up getting zero receptions.
In 2013 they used the slot on Shane Vereen after he broke his wrist during his breakthrough game.
You sort of want to save that for a starter going down in weeks 1-4.

You can waive-injured a player during training camp, as the Patriots just did with the back-up tackle.
If claimed (like Jake Ballard) another team picks up his contract.
If unclaimed, the team owns the players rights and is obligated to pay the salary.
Then you can negotiate an injury release, where the player typically gets a portion of the salary and the opportunity to rehab and sign elsewhere. Once on IR, you cannot return to the same team - but you can play on another team.

...my understanding...

Thanks @Urgent. I agree, I like Tyms but he is clearly a bubble guy.

I viewed Dobson and Gibson ahead of him anyway.

I can live with this easily.

 

[loosebearing]

What I want to know is -

Did Malcolm "Spin" the Ball after the Interception !!!!

 

[Ross12]

Jeff Howe @jeffphowe
Brian Tyms made a great diving catch before his injury, but Jordan Richards would've beheaded him if it were a game.

More Jordan Richards hype.

 

[Ross12]

Mark Daniels @MarkDanielsPJ
I really like Tarell Brown's attitude. He seems to be enjoying this environment.

 

[Ross12]

Jeff Howe ?@jeffphowe 27m27 minutes ago
Through five practices, Butler leads the Pats with 4 pass defenses (1 INT, 3 PBU) in team drills.

 

[Ross12]

Jeff Howe ?@jeffphowe 30m30 minutes ago
Boyce had 5 catches to lead Brady's targets today

Derek Havens ?@PatriotsHaven 54m54 minutes ago
Dont'a Hightower on shoulder, "I feel good. It's right where I need it to be. I'm dying to get back out there." #Patriots

Mark Daniels ?@MarkDanielsPJ 55m55 minutes ago
Does Tarell Brown enjoy going up against Tom Brady in practice? "You're damn right, I do."

 

[Froob]

Sucks Tyms is hurt but honestly don't think we are losing much. Guy looked good in preseason last year but he looks like another Bam Childress.

 

[ashley]

Hope Tyms is ok, I thought he had a decent shot of making the team. It's a very deep position though for us. Hopefully Boyce can step up if we need him to!!!!

 

[PatsGuy]

Was at today's practice. Player who shined was Amendola. The guy caught everything thrown his way and the crowd appreciated it.
Butler looked very strong on defense. One guy whom I look for but continues to be out is Branch
