PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP Sunday Patriots Training Camp Thread 8/11

Drake Maye = Vegetable Lasagna

Plain and average at best.

I hope you're up for keeping an open mind on this...that's not the greatest hill to die on. Granted, I know the last one didn't go well, but I'd like to think that won't be the case this time around.

 

[Jim Beankie]

That's cool 'n all, but that was over 4sec time to throw.

 

[signbabybrady]

Probably the best throw I've seen from him all summer he was throwing against the grain and made it look easy

 

[Jim Beankie]

Looks like Sly hit from 50, 53, 54, and 57 all on the same kick...

 

[signbabybrady]

Not a good look that Ryland couldn't handle the pressure of Mayo's drill. I think he's slightly ahead of Slye based on reported numbers but after last year if Ryland can't take the heat than we have to go to Slye. Still a long way to go before this decision.

 

[State]

Not a dime. Slightly underthrown. Gibson had to slow down so Bentley, the lumbering LB, could make a good play.

I'm on the Ryland redemption train but today the engine sputtered a bit.

In my head I'm thinking, that completion shouldn't count. There should be a buzzer going off 3-3.5s post snap during 7v7s or 1v1s indicating that they're out of time and that's a likely sack (taking escapability out of the equation). I'm guessing they probably talk about that, anyway.

I wonder what teams do for training the internal clock besides 11v11. "Why are you dead?"

Yeah underthrown a bit but still catchable.

I don't think the video is in real speed.

Miami with Tua and one of those speedburner RBs like rookie Jaylen Wright and there’ll be a three-yard separation with Bentley or Tavai trailing.

Then you use a safety or Mapu if he ever gets out of the tub.

That's a dime.
The play is to drop it over the left shoulder, throw on the out and up, He had 2 hands on the ball and not touched, bobbled it all himself, the defender had no effect on the play whatsoever, Bentley did absolutely nothing but catch the ball after Gibson tossed it up into the air.

You are not supposed to throw it too long as receiver needs time to track ball and catch over the shoulder. He's not supposed to try to catch that running full stride which is why you throw it outside shoulder.
You realize that's 40 yards in the air, right?

Yeah I think this drill was revealing. Ryland has been outpacing Slye slightly overall in camp, but my concern the whole time is if that performance level will actually hold up in pressure situations. Ryland also looked fine last year in camp but then fell to pieces in real games. So seeing him struggle to hit the long kicks in this “live fire” drill kind of tells me all I need to know. There’s still time left, of course, but at this point I think I would have a hard time NOT going with Slye.

On another kicker battle note - with the new kickoff rules, the kicker is now a very important defender if the opposing return man breaks containment, and Slye is built like a brick wall. Dude can probably lay out some of the smaller return guys many teams use (like Marcus Jones) if need be.

Mapu? Is that a deodorant?

 

[State]

And if we’re not in two deep safety, like we usually are against Miami, they will use Waddle or the Cheetah deep.

 

[signbabybrady]

Mapu? Is that a deodorant?

Strange name for deodorant. It's what I say when I drop a big one, "look at Ma Pu"

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Miami with Tua and one of those speedburner RBs like rookie Jaylen Wright and there’ll be a three-yard separation with Bentley or Tavai trailing.

That is why only one of Tavai or Bentley play on second and third down (and sometimes neither on third down) and we have Peppers, Mapu, and Dugger.

If not a dime it was a nickel and 4 Penny’s. Was a pretty d@mn good throw. Our third down receiving back should have caught it. James White woulda had it

 

[captain stone]

What a ****ing waste of valuable ****ing time. Dude’s straight trash, homie, same as Bedsore & Bolden.
