He had nothing but good things to say about Bill O\u2019Brien and Adrian Klemm.\u00a0 It appears that he is motivated, given that this is a contract year for him.\u00a0 If he has locked down the left side of the offensive line that will go a long way to the success of this team.\u00a0 When he was asked why he showed up early in his press conference after practice, he simply said that he was asked to.<\/li>\n<li>Almost everyone passed their conditioning test. Only Michael Onwenu and Cody Davis remain on PUP.\u00a0 DeMarcus Mitchell passed his physical and was removed from the Non-Football Injury list on Friday.\u00a0 He was at practice both Wednesday and Thursday but was not participating. \u00a0Mitchell played 310 snaps on special teams last season.\u00a0 Calvin Anderson was put on the Non-Football Illness list but no details were given.<\/li>\n<li>Lawrence Guy was a full participant and wouldn\u2019t comment about his contract status. All he would say is that his representatives have been in contact with the team management.\u00a0 Guy missed the mandatory mini-camp but said that was due to him and his wife welcoming a new child into the family and not a protest of his contract status.<\/li>\n<li>It appeared that Matt Judon was conducting a \u201cHold In\u201d. That is, not participating in practice due to his contract status.\u00a0 He has clearly outperformed his contract and is a likely candidate for a contract extension.\u00a0 He indicated in his press conference that he would like to finish his career here in New England. \u00a0When asked about his contract situation he stated in his press conference \u201cY\u2019all some snitches\u201d as he called the media.<\/li>\n<li>The 1<sup>st<\/sup> three practices are more like OTAs in that the league does not allow any contact as the players ramp up to what a full practice would be like. The team is off tomorrow and will be back on Sunday at 12:30 for a full padded practice.\u00a0 We will see some Oline vs Dline hitting and those reps will be very telling.\u00a0 Friday&#8217;s practice included wearing shells.<\/li>\n<li>Josh Uche has looked very quick in these un-padded practices and he is also in the final year of his contract. I would like to see the Patriots use some of that salary cap space on an extension for Uche.<\/li>\n<li>Jack Jones has been relegated to taking second-team reps. This is probably a case where the team is preparing for life without Jack Jones due to his pending weapons charges.<\/li>\n<li>The team did a lot of Red Zone work. This is probably the result of the team finishing dead last in Red Zone scoring last year. All three QBs struggled in this confined space and Mac Jones was picked off twice by Kyle Dugger.\u00a0 The 1<sup>st<\/sup> time was Jones&#8217;s 1<sup>st<\/sup> pass of the pre-season and the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> was yesterday on what was described as a pass he never should have thrown.\u00a0 I hope if this was a regular season game he would have made the decision to throw it away and take the three points.\u00a0 He immediately went down and did pushups!<\/li>\n<li>Christian Barmore missed Friday&#8217;s practice but it was excused absence due to he and his wife welcoming their 1<sup>st<\/sup> child into the world.<\/li>\n<li>Ty Montgomery was the star of the 1<sup>st<\/sup> day of practice with 4 TD catches. Yesterday he got injured on a bad pass from Trace McSorley.\u00a0 The ball was thrown behind him and he came down funny suffering a leg (knee) injury.\u00a0 He returned to practice for a couple of plays but then left with the trainers.\u00a0 He missed practice on Friday.<\/li>\n<li>Demario Douglas has played with the ones on a few plays and Mac Jones. Early in camp, he is the #5 WR.\u00a0 Douglas can return kicks and was used there with Marcus Jones today.\u00a0 He made a nice catch in the end zone over Jack Jones.\u00a0 Anything that Douglas can do to add value (ST) will help him make the team.<\/li>\n<li>Marcus Jones is the #1 slot corner and has looked very good. His value as a defensive back may overshadow the risk to use him as a Kick-Off return man.<\/li>\n<li>Right now Quandre Mosely is the 4<sup>th<\/sup> outside cornerback. It will be interesting to see him against other teams in the joint practices and pre-season games<\/li>\n<li>Christian Gonzalez has not looked out of place. He has been beaten a few times and he will during the season, but he looks good.\u00a0 He is making the right decisions and making them quickly.\u00a0 He was praised for a couple of plays where he passed off the wide receiver to the safety.<\/li>\n<li>NBC Sports Boston\u2019s simulcast of the Sports Hub\u2019s Zolak and Bertrand show was live from practice. \u00a0\u00a0However, they were under a gag order from the league on what they could report.\u00a0 It strangely has to do with them broadcasting live.\u00a0 This doesn\u2019t prevent the massive amount of local media from sending out instant messages reporting what they saw!<\/li>\n<li>Is a Tweet still a Tweet if the symbol for Twitter is now an \u201cX\u201d?<\/li>\n<li>Gesicki, Thornton, and Bourne have been virtually invisible the 1<sup>st<\/sup> three days of practice. I hope this is not a trend.\u00a0 Thornton initially beat Gonzalez off the line but he quickly recovered and forced Jones to throw the ball away.<\/li>\n<li>Chad Ryland is booming FGs and although Nick Folk has remained his steady self, he doesn&#8217;t possess the leg that Ryland does.\u00a0 Bryan Beringer has been handling the FG holder duties.\u00a0 \u00a0Ryland is the highest-drafted Specialist the Patriots have ever drafted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Robert Kraft makes the final 12 for Hall of Fame<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced the 12 finalists for the hall enshrinement in the contributor category.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0This would be a tremendous honor for Kraft and well deserved.\u00a0 I would like to see this happen while Kraft is still alive and could enjoy the moment.\u00a0 Kraft was credited with resolving the lockout with the players in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Incredibly Stanley Morgan did not make the Senior Committee list of 12 finalists.\u00a0 I am appalled that he didn\u2019t make the cut.\u00a0 Otis Taylor of the Chiefs did and he is considerably inferior stat-wise.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 507 rec\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 10,716 yds \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 73 TDs\u00a0\u00a0 4 Pro Bowls\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a019.2 Yards per rec<\/p>\n<p>Taylor \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 410 rec\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7,306 yds \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 60 TDs\u00a0\u00a0 3 Pro Bowls\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a017.8 Yards per rec\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02 Championships<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Did We Learn from the 1st Three Practices?
