We are now into our 9th<\/sup> day of Training Camp and I will recap some of the local and national media observations.\u00a0 I have not been in attendance at Training Camp.<\/p>\n

The #1 story out of camp has been the daily reporting of the Quarterback battle between Cam Newton and Mac Jones.\u00a0 Bill Belichick has clearly indicated in a press conference this past week that Newton is the starting QB and he has been starting every day with the number 1 unit.\u00a0 Jones has been with the 2nd<\/sup> teamers throwing against the 2nd<\/sup> teamers.\u00a0 That was until yesterday!\u00a0 Newton started as usual.\u00a0 Jones threw to the number 2\u2019s.\u00a0 Then Jones got 12 extra reps against the 1st<\/sup> team and in a 2-minute drill.\u00a0 He performed flawlessly.<\/p>\n

As reported by Mike Reiss<\/strong>, Jones recognized the ILB blitz by J\u2019Whaun Bentley, tapped his helmet to check off, reset the RB blitz pickup, and threw a perfect slant to the hot receiver N\u2019Keal Harry.\u00a0 In the lousy weather yesterday (ordered directly by Bill Belichick), Newton was 9 of 17 with two drops and Jones was 19 of 25 with two drops.<\/p>\n

Jones has had some ball security issues in camp and yesterday he had a ball stripped during a ball security drill and fumbled a snap.\u00a0 He did pushups for the ball strip and ran a lap with Marcus Martin on the fumbled snap.\u00a0 To note, it was Martin as the center on his previous botched snap.<\/p>\n

After practice, both QB\u2019s did zoom calls with the media.\u00a0 Jones was articulate and gregarious.\u00a0 Newton was sullen and in no mood to talk.\u00a0 The first question asked of Newton was if he was vaccinated.\u00a0 Newton\u2019s response was \u201cI think it\u2019s too personal\u201d to discuss.\u00a0 Then he went on to say \u201cI\u2019ll just keep it at that\u201d.\u00a0 I saw a tweet right after that said, I think it\u2019s too personal means he is not vaccinated, or he is a republican politician and doesn\u2019t want his cronies to know he got the shot.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s pretty damn selfish of Newton or anyone else on the team to not get vaccinated.\u00a0 Look what happened to Newton last year when he contracted COVID.\u00a0 He was never the same player and the team went right down the tubes with his health.<\/p>\n

Jeff Howe<\/strong> rolled out an interesting stat today through 8 practices.\u00a0 In 11 vs 11 and the starting units, Newton is 31-60 (51.7%) and Jones is 24 -55 (43.3%).\u00a0 Howe did note that Jones didn\u2019t always have the top O-line playing in front of him.<\/p>\n

Christian Barmore has lit up a few O-lineman in practice and was very noticeable.\u00a0 He hurt his lower leg and missed yesterday\u2019s padded practice.\u00a0 On Tuesday he was tossing around O lineman like they were ragdolls.\u00a0 We have to temper the enthusiasm a bit since he was discharging players like Will Sherman, Yodny Cajuste, and Marcus Martin.\u00a0 These players won\u2019t be on the final 53 man roster.<\/p>\n

Zach Cox<\/strong> highlighted 4 dark horse players making an impression during camp so far.\u00a0 They are DT Carl Davis, WR Kristian Wilkerson, DE Rashod Berry, ILB Harvey Langi.\u00a0 In my Roster Analysis, I have Wilkerson as a slight favorite for the final WR position.\u00a0 He has caught everything thrown to him, the same as he did last year in Titans camp.\u00a0 I wrote about Carl Davis saying he played well for us last year when he was healthy.\u00a0 He has a history of concussions and can be a dominant player if he can avoid the injury bug.\u00a0 Nice to see the dark horse label on both Langi and Berry.\u00a0 Langi proved he can play last year with the Jets and is proving to be more than a camp body (which I labeled him).\u00a0 McMillan was outplaying Bentley, especially since McMillan is an excellent Special Teams player.\u00a0 Langi plays Special Teams also and might just slip in there if McMillan can\u2019t answer the bell.\u00a0 Berry is a great story.\u00a0 TE playing DE at Ohio St.\u00a0 Well he got into one game last season and made a tackle from his DE spot.\u00a0 Would love to see him make it, especially since he can play TE also. \u00a0Could BB keep him as a 4th<\/sup> TE and DE?<\/p>\n

Morse\u2019s Morsels<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coach Ivan Fears was asked how Rhamondre Stevenson was doing in camp.\u00a0 The question was framed, What does Stevenson need to improve on?\u00a0 Fear’s response was simply \u201cEverything\u201d.\u00a0 This is in stark contrast to what Fears stated last year when asked about RB JJ Taylor.\u00a0 Fears spouted off effusing the merits of Taylor’s quickness, pass-catching, and avoidance of tacklers.\u00a0 Stevenson\u2019s play will have a direct effect on who makes the team.<\/p>\n

The Indianapolis Colts took a stunning blow when QB Carson Wentz went down with a foot injury.\u00a0 Add this to the fact they have a brutal schedule to start the season.\u00a0 They open with Seattle at home, then LA Rams at home, followed by Titans on the road, in Miami, and then at Baltimore.\u00a0 Their season could be over before it began.<\/p>\n

Robert Alvarez<\/strong> has been outputting some nice material about the Social Media surrounding the Patriots Practices here at Patsfans.com.\u00a0 It\u2019s a nice one-stop-shop for all local and national stories about the daily Patriots activity.\u00a0 Check it out.\u00a0 Best-of Social Media Days 7 and 8 of Practice<\/a><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t believe there are actual negotiations ongoing between Houston and Philadelphia concerning a swap of QB\u2019s (Watson and Hurts).\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if other assets are involved, but Watson would be poison to me and carry a big DO NOT TOUCH label.<\/p>\n

Patriots announced their final 5 open practices for public viewing.\u00a0 I noticed the last two are the joint practices here in Foxboro with the New York Giants on Wednesday, August 25th, and Thursday, August 26th, time is TBD.\u00a0 I questioned when the actual Pre-season game will be played, and that will be Sunday 29th at 6:00 PM at Giant Stadium in Rutherford NJ.\u00a0 The Final cutdown to 53 players must be accomplished by 4:00 PM on Tuesday 31st.\u00a0 Then the Patriots will have 11 days to practice before their opening game with the Dolphins on September 12th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
