As #Patriots practice gets underway, crowd begins "free Tom Brady!" chant. Another standing-room-only crowd.

UDFA WR Zach D'Orazio and LS Joe Cardona first players on the field, as been the case the last few days. Rest of the players coming out now.

WRs and CBs going head-to-head. WRs trying to beat press coverage off the line. Edelman is so quick. Just beat Butler easily twice in a row.

Seems our receivers are where they should be. I wouldn't want to try to defend anyone of them in press coverage. Both are quick as hell.

@BenVolin Hey Ben, Mike Kensil is no longer on NFL Operations website. Think he got canned?

Some air-tight Ben Volin google searchin'.

Team doing punt return drills. Edelman, Amendola and Tarell Brown getting reps as returner. Brady throwing to Gronk, Chandler and Dobson.

Smooth Roast is getting some PR reps, that's interesting. Also good to see Brady adding Dobson into his side sessions with the twin towers.

Love it, keep it coming guys. I think our secondary will be above average, maybe not great, but above average. They will get challenged everyday by super quick receivers in Edelman and Amendola, and big beasts like Gronk and Chandler. This will help them immensely in my opinion.

Mike Reiss ? @MikeReiss
Play of day to this point: Tom Brady to Aaron Dobson for deep completion down right side. Malcolm Butler tight coverage but Dobson gets it.

New vibe at camp now. Full 11-on-11. "Welcome to the Jungle" blasting, simulating crowd noise. First play Brady hits Dobson deep over Butler

To quote Homer Simpson....... Mmm Donuts, but replace Donuts with Dobson, and you'll understand how I feel about the camp Dobson is having so far. I loved Dobson in college, and thought he'd be a great fit for our offense. I'm keeping the hope alive. Go get em Dobson !

Only been a few days, but Dobson is having a strong camp so far, it seems.

Dobson just pulled a Matthews in the SB against Butler.

Meanwhile...

I think they'd be a more explosive offense with Fitzpatrick, he had his best seasons in Buffalo with Chan Gailey as his head coach. Well Gailey has brought the same offense to NY as the Jets OC. That being said, I'm rooting for Smith to win the QB battle

Butler beautiful play 1 v 1 on Edelman

Two plays later, Edelman makes a nasty catch, spins ball on Butler. Tom and Jules jump into eachother.

 

[Ross12]

I think for the offense, the best-case-scenario is all 3 of these happening:

1. Scott Chandler integrates well and combines with Gronk to become a serious 2TE threat.
2. Dobson emerges and becomes a legitimate threat on the outside.
3. One of the handful of potential third-down backs emerges.

1 seems to definitely be happening and 2 appears to be on its way. Haven't heard much about 3.

Julian Edelman just made a leaping catch over a diving Malcolm Butler. Edelman then spun the ball by Butler's feet. Crowd went wild.

Derek Havens ?@PatriotsHaven 34s35 seconds ago
Brady hit Edelman w/ Butler in 1-on-1 coverage in corner of the endzone. Brady & Edelman chest bumped after, then 12 gave Butler a high five

just want to point out that Patsinthesnow reported this before the twitter guys. Does this make him the go to beat guy now?
