When asked whether Meriweather would play more at corner or safety, head coach Bill Belichick replied, “Well, we'll find out. We'll work him at both spots. People on our team are going to have to have some versatility and play different spots anyway, so he falls into that category.”
TE Garrett Mills did not attend practice. No reason was given for his absence.
All the players on the PUP list remained there and did not take part in Saturday’s practice: DL Richard Seymour, WR Troy Brown, WR Chad Jackson, TE David Thomas, DB Mel Mitchell, DB Eddie Jackson, and WR Donte Stallworth.
After taking most of Friday off, P Josh Miller did some kicking today and looked good doing it.
Oklahoma University head football coach Bob Stoops and staff were special guests on the practice field this afternoon.
Belichick’s reason for inviting them? “We go into the colleges all fall long and also in the spring to work guys out, so we try to have a good working and reciprocal relationship with them,” he said after practice. “If they want to come in, and they help us out a lot, then we try to give it back to them.”
Kickoff return team was a focus of part of practice. CB Ellis Hobbs, WR Wes Welker, RB Sammy Morris, DB Willie Andrews, and DB Gemara Williams took turns fielding kicks..
K Stephen Gostkowski continues his hot streak. He made all 7 field goal attempts to end practice.
