Good morning, here is your <\/span>Sunday Patriots news 06-06 and AFC East Notes <\/b>this morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, June 6, is the anniversary of D-Day and the sacrifices of the troops on that day will never be forgotten. This afternoon may be time to pop a few DVDs in and rewatch \u201cThe Longest Day\u201d followed by \u201cSaving Private Ryan.\u201d But we digress, it is on to football today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Patriots’ last four OTA sessions are currently scheduled to take place on June 7 and 8 and then on June 10 and 11. That will be the end of voluntary OTAs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Patriots will then hold its three-day mandatory minicamp between June 15 and June 17. That will be the first time that the entire team is slated to be together on the field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you checked out our team news feature for all 32 teams yet? It is a great resource to keep up with what is going on all across the NFL.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Quick Hitters For the Pats, and the NFL:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Marvin Hall: <\/b>For those hoping to hear news of Julio Jones, this may not be a great sign that Jones is coming to New England with the signing of former Lions WR Hall.\u00a0 Hall is a very fast is undersized WR (5\u201910, 192) who played for Matt Patricia in Detroit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was present for OTAs on Friday and has caught 37 passes for 772 yards and five TDs in 45 career NFL games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nelson Agholor: <\/b>The Patriots new WR has been an active participant in OTAs trying to learn the offense, and get some chemistry with the QBs, none of whom have played with him before. Agholor who had a very solid year last year with Vegas, is saying all the right things about being here and starting fresh in New England.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is where you grow as a player,\u201d said Agholor. \u201cI definitely want to take another leap this year. You have to be here, you have to learn, you have to be coached up about how you do things, learn the scheme, and just work on the fundamentals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think you can do things individually, but, as a wide receiver, you need to be next to the offensive coordinator, you need to be next to the quarterback, and I think you grow well that way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m new here, so it\u2019s about learning the plays and different routes, learning the adjustments, and working on timing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bill Belichick: <\/b>The Patriots coach was showing some love for the Bruins and was wearing a B\u2019s hat during his press conference on Friday. <\/span>\u00a0<\/b>\u201cBig congratulations to the Bruins. Heck of a game,\u201d Belichick said at Friday\u2019s press conference. \u201cWe\u2019re behind them. Go B\u2019s.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve got a lot of big games coming up. We wish them well. Coach (Bruce) Cassidy\u2019s done a great job there. They\u2019ve got a lot of great players. Love their style of play. Just want to show our support.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mac Jones: <\/b>Belichick gave his standard response when asked by the media members about his rookie QB with, \u201che has a long way to go,\u201d Belichick was sounding pretty positive in his comments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cHe\u2019s working hard; he puts in a lot of time,\u201d Belichick said. \u201cCertainly giving his very best effort to do everything we\u2019ve asked him to do and do it the way we\u2019ve asked him to do it, which is a great place to start. He\u2019s earned a lot of respect for that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Christian Barmore: <\/b>Another rookie getting some praise already this spring is the Patriots new DL out of Alabama. NESN\u2019s Doug Kyed asked DL coach DeMarcus Covington about working with Barmore and his progress thus far in the NFL.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Covington said working with the rookie thus far has been “awesome.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s done a good job keeping his head down, trying to learn, trying to absorb all of the information.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Salary Cap Questions? Ask Miguel: <\/b>There is no one with more knowledge when it comes to NE\u2019s salary cap than our old buddy Miguel Benzan aka <\/span>@Patscap<\/span><\/a>. If you\u2019re going anywhere else for salary cap information, you\u2019re doing yourself a disservice. Miguel joined me, Thomas Murphy, and Clare Cooper this week <\/span>on a podcast,<\/span><\/a> which was a lot of fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4th & 2 Podcast<\/b> – If you haven\u2019t checked out our <\/span>PatsFans.com podcast, <\/span><\/a>\u201cPatriots 4th & 2\u201d in a bit, you should check it out. The three of us finally got back in the studio this week and discussed OTAs and some of the latest news.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Russ Francis\/ Chuck Fairbanks:<\/b> The former Patriot tight end and head coach both should be in the Patriots team Hall of Fame…this will be on our Sunday posts until it happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cam Newton Bangs Up Throwing Hand, During Friday\u2019s Session:<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Patriots had their sixth OTA session that was attended by media members and about halfway through the session, the QBs were working on a drill where they have to work on avoiding the pass rush. Assistants throw soft bags at the QBs, one of which may have hit or jammed Newton\u2019s fingers…it isn\u2019t known. Some speculated that it wasn\u2019t a bag at all but that Newton may have hit his throwing hand on the helmet of one of the linemen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While he didn\u2019t practice any longer, he remained on the field, and spoke with Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels and was reportedly seen flexing his hand on the sideline. Mike Reiss of ESPN said that a source told him that the injury wasn\u2019t serious and that Newton is \u201call good.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday, Reiss reported that McDaniels was very positive on how well Newton had a grasp of the offense in his second season as a result of being able to take part in his first full offseason with the Patriots.<\/span><\/p>\n

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Newton suffered a slight bone bruise on his throwing hand and repeating that it wasn\u2019t thought to be serious. However, he did say that it could limit the incumbent starter\u2019s reps until training camp. A day after McDaniels raved about Newton taking advantage of the offseason workouts that he missed last year, this may set him back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Rapoport didn\u2019t specifically say Newton hurt his hand on another player\u2019s helmet, he mentioned the damage a QB can do to his throwing hand by hitting another\u2019s helmet while following through. It will bear watching.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First-round draft pick Mac Jones doesn\u2019t seem to be 100 percent healthy either. He was wearing a compression sleeve on his left calf and it was mentioned that at times it appeared that it was clearly affecting him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

_______________<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I think it’s a great perspective, even though the sport’s different, dealing with athletes, dealing with teams, dealing with similar situations, even though the sports different, there’s a lot of common ground there. So, I think a lot of times those conversations are great and they’re very insightful and honestly, in a lot of ways, they’re easier to have. For me to call up another coach in the National Football League and talk about my problems, I mean, that’s not really something that I would do or that anybody else would do. Another coach in the NFL will do that, I mean, I just have a hard time seeing that happening.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cBut, when you’re talking about different sports and you’re not trying to gain an edge on anybody \u2013 Major League Baseball or the NBA or the NHL or Coach [Dave] Pietramala at Hopkins, or Coach Ken [Niumatalolo] at Navy, or somebody like that, that’s just completely out of your circle of competition, \u2013 it’s a lot easier to have sometimes those kind of frank conversations about your team or about whatever the situation is, whatever you’re talking about, than with somebody who’s in your sport, that’s competing in your league in a similar situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cSo yeah, I think those have been very insightful to me and some of the friendships that I’ve made with those people in other sports have been very helpful and they’ve given me a lot of insight and I’ve taken a lot from their knowledge, experience, leadership. There’s quite a few people, I wouldn’t be able to name all here, but there have been quite a few of them>\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Bill Belichick\u2019s when asked about what he gains in his interactions with coaches in other sports and what is he looking for and what has he taken from those conversations?<\/span><\/p>\n
