Some Patriots news and notes for this morning:<\/p>\n

Maye Behind Zappe in Reps at OTAs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> have any intention of possibly moving on from Bailey Zappe, they didn’t make that apparent on Monday.<\/p>\n

Yesterday marked the start of organized team activities, with the team making Monday’s practice open to the media.\u00a0 There were no pads, with most of the session seemingly spent focusing on getting the players immersed in Alex Van Pelt’s offense.<\/p>\n

During the session, it was clear that Jacoby Brissett is considered to be the starter heading into the season given the rep distribution.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 Andrew Callahan logged the number of reps<\/strong><\/a> by each quarterback, and one thing that stood out was the fact rookie quarterback Drake Maye came in just behind Zappe in the totals.<\/p>\n

Callahan logged it as the following:<\/p>\n

Jacoby Brissett (7-on-7 : 8) | (11-on-11: 8)\u00a0 | (Total:16)
\nBailey Zappe (7-on-7 : 4) | (11-on-11: 4)\u00a0 | (Total: 8)
\nDrake Maye (7-on-7 : 8) | (11-on-11: 3)\u00a0 | (Total: 7)
\nJoe Milton (7-on-7 : 4) | (11-on-11: 0)\u00a0 | (Total: 4)<\/p>\n

What’s interesting is that Zappe was very much in the thick of the offensive reps, despite the fact that Albert Breer reported on Monday that the plan by New England will be to narrow the competition to three players<\/strong><\/a> ahead of training camp, to allow them to “be more efficient” as they start prepping for the season.<\/p>\n

In theory, that would mean one player might be odd man out.\u00a0 But if the team is trying to possibly move on from Zappe, that certainly didn’t seem to be the case.\u00a0 At least not after day one.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, Mayo was asked ahead of practice about what the rep distribution would look like and whether or not reporters should read much into it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, that won\u2019t be indicative of what we do,” said Mayo<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 “I think it\u2019s a day by day thing. You try to keep all those guys around the same rep count, but at the same time, in any given day, this guy could get 30 reps, another guy could get five. But then as we work through the week, it\u2019ll kind of flip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Mayo was also asked about Breer’s report on Monday in terms of narrowing the field down ahead of camp, and he didn’t necessarily deny that might be the plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see,” he said<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 “Once we get to training camp, that\u2019s real football. So out here in the spring, we\u2019ll rock with four. But as soon as we get to training camp, now you have to start paring down the rosters.\u201d<\/p>\n

What that means behind Brissett and Maye is obviously the big question, with Zappe now potentially having to battle for the last spot with rookie Joe Milton.\u00a0 However, Milton is expected to be someone they’ll likely want to keep on their roster, which is what makes the situation so puzzling.<\/p>\n

Phil Perry said on NBC Sports Boston Monday night that not seeing the club give Maye more reps ahead of Zappe, considering that Maye is expected to be their guy long-term, didn’t seem to make much sense.<\/p>\n

“I just don’t understand how you can square this guy needs development, but we’re also going to make him earn the reps,” said Perry.\u00a0 “He needs the reps.\u00a0 Let him get the reps.\u00a0 He was the number three overall pick.\u00a0 This is a game in which, in today’s NFL at least, highly drafted quarterbacks typically play and play early.”<\/p>\n

“Caleb Williams has already been named the starter.\u00a0 Jayden Daniels is probably a week or two away from that too.\u00a0 I’m not saying that’s the way the Patriots should go, but I look at this quarterback room as needing to do two things, Tom [Curran], before the season.\u00a0 One, get Jacoby Brissett ready to start Week 1.\u00a0 Two, develop Drake Maye.\u00a0 There’s nowhere on that list to me that says Bailey Zappe needs to play and needs practice time.\u00a0 Because he’s just not in the plans, whether you like him or not, he’s pretty clearly not in their plans long-term.”<\/p>\n

When it comes to how the quarterbacks looked on Monday, Callahan noticed that Zappe was spotted scrambling more than Maye did, which he feels could be a reflection of Zappe’s inability to run the offense on time, at least in comparison to Maye.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to how he’s viewed by the coaching staff, Mayo called Zappe a “resource” during Monday’s press conference.\u00a0 So it’s clear that for now, he’s still someone they think highly of.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I think about Zapp as a true professional,” said Mayo.\u00a0 “We drafted two quarterbacks. Obviously, he\u2019s going to be competing with those guys, but at the same time, he\u2019s an open book.”<\/p>\n

“He is a resource. He has started games in this league, and that\u2019s more than the other two quarterbacks can say.\u201d<\/p>\n

More Patriots OTAs Notes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

– Rhamondre Stevenson reportedly looked good on Monday, which is encouraging as the veteran continues his return after suffering a late-season ankle injury.\u00a0 With Ezekiel Elliott returning to Dallas, Stevenson’s value to the team becomes that much greater as the club looks to hopefully see someone else emerge to compliment him.\u00a0 Antonio Gibson is considered to be a player who might possibly provide that, with Kevin Harris hopefully emerging among New England’s running back group.<\/p>\n

– Harris joined Deshaun Fenwick among backs who caught passes during team drills from Maye on Monday, with the team spending time working on screens at various points of the practice.\u00a0 Overall, it seems like depth-wise it was both Gibson and Harris behind Stevenson, with those players appearing to be the players currently in the top spots on the depth chart at this point of the offseason.<\/p>\n

– As for Maye, the rookie reportedly showed good poise and appeared comfortable in the offense.\u00a0 Mayo credited Maye for spending a lot of time off the field trying to learn the offense. “You know, I walk by the quarterback meeting room, he\u2019s just in there by himself watching film,” said Mayo.\u00a0 “Those are the things you want to see.” So far, it looks like that work is paying off.<\/p>\n

– Maye and the other quarterbacks spent time at the start of practice working on fundamentals, with footwork being one of the focuses.\u00a0 Each spent time throwing into a target in a net, with each player holding their own.\u00a0 For Maye, he showed off his athleticism and his arm strength on multiple occasions, which, based on all the videos posted Monday, was certainly good to see.\u00a0 He dropped in a couple of nice balls on some deep throws, along with zinging a ball to the sideline on an out-route.<\/p>\n

– Kyle Dugger had a nice pass breakup on Monday, and teammate Christian Gonzalez also looked solid in coverage.\u00a0 New England’s secondary remains a quiet strength heading into this season, with a defense that was one of the better units in the NFL last season.<\/p>\n

– Overall, the defense looked strong early on, which is to be expected given that the players coming back – and that represents a large portion of the group – have less of a learning curve.\u00a0 Meanwhile, they’re going against an offense that is learning a brand new system with many new pieces in place compared to the same group we saw a year ago.<\/p>\n

Former WR Parker Retires<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Former Patriots receiver DeVante Parker has decided to hang up his cleats, with Parker walking away from the NFL just a few months after signing with the Eagles in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Parker said he’s instead focused on spending more time with his family.\u00a0 \u201cI want to see my kids, spend quality time with them,\u201d Parker said<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cI want to be there for them whenever I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parker is barely a year removed from signing a three-year extension with New England<\/strong><\/a>, which reportedly came after the veteran seemingly became frustrated by the news the club was courting wideout DeAndre Hopkins.<\/p>\n

Hopkins ended up signing with Tennessee, going on to finish with 75 receptions for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Parker finished with one of the lowest reception totals on the team<\/strong><\/a>, catching just 33 passes for 394 yards and no touchdowns.<\/p>\n

He’ll be remembered for one of the most irritating drops in recent memory, with a perfectly thrown ball by former quarterback Mac Jones going right through his hands<\/strong><\/a> in the final two minutes in Las Vegas where the Patriots trailed 19-17 with a chance to get into field goal range.<\/p>\n

Parker would have been near midfield had he hauled in the reception, putting the club in position to pick up another 10-12 yards and possibly pulling off the come-from-behind win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u00a0 What did you see?\u201d quipped Parker after the game<\/strong><\/a> when asked by a reporter about the miscue.<\/p>\n

The reporter responded, \u201cit looked like you got behind the coverage, the ball was there,\u201d Parker came back with, \u201cThat\u2019s just what happened.\u00a0 I was behind the coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNext.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was then asked if he got his fingers on the ball, and Parker claimed he thought it hit his fingers, but he couldn\u2019t quite get his full hands on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably, through my fingertips, I think,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cBut I didn\u2019t get to get a whole full grasp of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if he thought it was a ball he could catch, Parker again wasn\u2019t sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think so,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cFingertips \u2026 I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

That lack of accountability was just a bookend to an irritating tenure for the veteran.\u00a0 For someone that was considered to be a player who fought for contested throws certainly never seemed to come down with many of them.\u00a0 It also makes the decision to essentially pick Parker over Hopkins that much more irritating.<\/p>\n

Odds and Ends<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Linebacker Matthew Judon wasn’t present for yesterday’s session, although Mayo didn’t seem too concerned.\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s not here today,” said Mayo.\u00a0 “I\u2019ll say he\u2019s not here today. He has been in and out. At the same time, look, he\u2019s one of those guys historically, he\u2019s been in and out.\u00a0 So not really a big story there.\u201d\u00a0 Judon is in the final year of his deal and is a player who Mike Reiss pointed out over the weekend could potentially be in line for an extension<\/strong><\/a> on his contract.\u00a0 … Mayo was asked about Cole Strange’s timeline, with Mayo saying he’s progressing, but it sounds like it might be a while before he returns. “That\u2019s an interesting one,” said Mayo.\u00a0 “He\u2019s another guy … normally, we say day by day. He\u2019s more of a, let\u2019s say, week by week, or we want to go month by month if you want to. But he\u2019s working hard. He\u2019s doing his rehab. He\u2019s here every day. He\u2019s in the meeting room, so I\u2019m happy where he is.\u201d Second-year lineman Sidy Sow was reportedly working in Strange’s spot at left guard on Monday. … Kendrick Bourne was present but didn’t practice Monday, with Mayo saying he won’t be out here this spring.\u00a0 \u201cHonestly, it\u2019s a week-by-week type of thing,” he said. “We hope to get him out here. Well, he won\u2019t be out here during the spring. I can tell you that. So we\u2019ll see going forward. That\u2019s more information than you normally would get, right?\u201d … Marcus Jones told reporters he’s feeling good coming off the shoulder injury that sidelined him for 2023.\u00a0 “I’m 100% ready,” he said.\u00a0 That’s encouraging, especially knowing the speed he possesses both in the return game and should the team potentially use him on offense. … JuJu Smith-Schuster told reporters on Monday that last season he was at about “60%,” health-wise and now he’s “100%.”\u00a0 He’s a player who will have to really show something, as it would be a surprise not to see the club head into the season putting its absolute best foot forward on offense. …\u00a0 The left tackle spot seems to be Chukwuma Okorafor’s to lose, as he held the top spot, while rookie Caedan Wallace was behind Vederian Lowe on the depth chart as he begins working on transitioning from the right tackle spot he played in college.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
