Practice #11 \u2013 a walkthrough<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Absent: Christian Gonzalez, Marcellus Dial, Tyler Davis, K\u2019Lavon Chaisson, Jahlani Tavai, Sidy Sow, Caedan Wallace, Kendrick Bourne, Morgan Moses, <\/strong>and Jaquelin Roy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gonzalez, Moses, and Bourne were at practice but not participating<\/p>\n

Carlton Davis<\/strong> did participate in the walkthrough but is not expected to play against the Commanders in either the joint practice or game on Friday<\/p>\n

Javon Baker<\/strong> had some plays with the 1st team and was only targeted once but this indicates he has risen up the depth chart ahead of Polk and Chism.\u00a0 Bourne was out but it appears that Baker has jumped ahead of him too.<\/p>\n

Session only last an hour and fifteen minutes.\u00a0 There were no competitive plays in this session<\/p>\n

Concentration was on situational football, including a 2:00 drill and even had a Hail Mary thrown in.<\/p>\n

Vederian Lowe<\/strong> was the LT on the 2nd<\/sup> team.\u00a0 Marcus Bryant<\/strong> and Demontrey Jacobs<\/strong> switched out at RT in Moses absence.<\/p>\n

Khyiris Tonga<\/strong> and Joshua Farmer<\/strong> were the backup DTs.\u00a0 This is a jump for Farmer.<\/p>\n

Five up and Five Down from First Two Weeks of Training Camp<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We have completed 11 practices before the Washington Commanders come in Wednesday for a joint practice and a Pre-Season game.<\/p>\n

Five Up<\/strong><\/h3>\n

K\u2019Lavon Chaisson<\/strong> \u2013 Chaisson has been dominant rushing the passer.\u00a0 It seems he has had multiple would-be sacks in each practice.\u00a0 The QBs are wearing Red Non-Contact jerseys so the pass rushers are not allowed to hit them.\u00a0 Otherwise, Chaisson would be racking up crazy sack totals.\u00a0 Is Chaisson that good or are our tackles that bad?\u00a0 I will say that Chaisson was trending up from last year with the Raiders.\u00a0 Chaisson had 4 sacks in his last 6 games of 2024.\u00a0 I also believe that he has benefited from the experienced coaching staff here in New England and a new philosophy that allows the Defensive Lineman to rush upfield.\u00a0 If he shows up in the Joint practice with this newfound pressure ability, he could end up as the steal of Free Agency.<\/p>\n

Kayshon Boutte<\/strong> \u2013 He has gone from being a trade candidate prior to the draft to the starting X receiver.\u00a0 Maybe his improvement last season wasn\u2019t a fluke?\u00a0 He has gone from a player that was fighting to make the team, to a potential starter.\u00a0 I will add that when Mack Hollins came off PUP, he slotted immediately into the starting X position.\u00a0 However, Boutte still saw considerable playing time with the first team as Hollins was moved to different WR positions.\u00a0 Last season he had 43 receptions on 68 targets and 3 TDs.\u00a0 He was once considered a roster bubble guy, but is now looking more like a potential WR3<\/p>\n

Stephon Diggs<\/strong> \u2013 Diggs recovery from a torn ACL just 8 months ago has been remarkable.\u00a0 This feat by itself is incredible.\u00a0 He looks like he hasn\u2019t missed a beat.\u00a0 Diggs gives the Patriots a true Alpha receiver.\u00a0 The other key is that Diggs has been mentoring the younger receivers on the team.\u00a0 His use has been widespread, playing out wide and in the slot.<\/p>\n

Drake Maye<\/strong> \u2013 He had not thrown an\u00a0 interception through 8 practices.\u00a0 He threw two in the in-stadium scrimmage.\u00a0 In an early practice he should have thrown a pick on an overthrow but Jabrill Peppers dropped it.\u00a0 This was one of Mayes issues from last year, having to many Turnover Worthy Plays.\u00a0 If Maye has had a down day, he has consistently bounced back strong.\u00a0 The team has worked on specific area such as goal line, third down and throwing deep.\u00a0 Each has higher and lower levels of success.\u00a0 When throwing near the goal line, the defense is compacted and doesn\u2019t have to defend a bigger area.\u00a0 Deep passes have a reduced chance of completion.\u00a0 Maye has been taking what the Defense is giving him.\u00a0 One big drawback is the three fumbled snaps under Center.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know who is to blame for this.\u00a0 Is it Drake Mayes fault for pulling out to quick or is the Centers fault?\u00a0 Jared Wilson is a rookie with only one year playing Center.\u00a0 Maye had never taken a snap under center before he was drafted by the Patriots.<\/p>\n

Jared Wilson<\/strong> \u2013 In five practices, Wilson, who missed all the OTAs and Mini Camp, has secured the Left Guard competition.\u00a0 \u00a0Wilson dominated his 1-on-1 drills against Christian Barmore and Milton Williams. He also took snaps at both guard and center without any fumbling issues, which had been a problem in earlier practices. Considering that Garrett Bradbury is banged up, Wilson\u2019s versatility pushes him into legitimate starting center discussions.<\/p>\n

5 Down <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cole Strange <\/strong>\u2013 He has gone from competing for the starting Left Guard position to third team Center.\u00a0 He isn\u2019t even the backup guard anymore.\u00a0 I think his days are numbered and won\u2019t make the team.<\/p>\n

Will Campbell<\/strong> – Chad Graf from the Athletic had this to say about Campbell. “All eyes are on him every practice, which is a tough spot for a rookie,” Graff wrote of Campbell. “So far, he\u2019s been about what you\u2019d expect from a rookie. He has some strong moments, particularly in the running game. But there have been struggles in the passing game. He\u2019s been beaten for a sack in just about every practice, which isn\u2019t great considering he\u2019s usually on the field each practice for only 15 or so passing plays in full-team drills.<\/p>\n

“He tends to get beaten to the inside after oversetting, and it probably doesn\u2019t help that the Pats don\u2019t yet know who their left guard is next to him. Still, extrapolate those numbers, and that\u2019s allowing two sacks each NFL game if you throw the ball 30 times. Not great.”<\/p>\n

He has been beat at least once in every practice.\u00a0 Going into the Training Camp I thought Canpbell would be mediocre.\u00a0 Last season only two rookie OL had ratings better than Vederian Lowe.\u00a0 That was Joe Alt and Roger Rosengarten and they both played Right Tackle.\u00a0 So I figured that Campbell would end up 32nd<\/sup> out of 64 starters.\u00a0 That wouldn\u2019t be too bad.\u00a0 However, the sack per practice is concerning.\u00a0 We will really see this week when he goes up against Washington\u2019s Pass Rushers.<\/p>\n

Evan Lazar has stated that Campbell’s run blocking has been superior.\u00a0 Is it Campbell or a poor run stuffing Defensive Line?\u00a0 We will find out Wednesday in the Joint Practice.<\/p>\n

Morgan Moses<\/strong> \u2013 Has not come out of the gate quickly.\u00a0 His reps in practice have been limited only because he is 34-years-old and veteran of 13 seasons.\u00a0 He has had one full practice.\u00a0 The alarming part of those practices is that he has been beaten like a rug.\u00a0 If you think Campbell has been bad, Moses has been worse.\u00a0 I think fans would call him a turnstile so far.\u00a0 He is coming back from a knee injury in week 3 last season versus the Patriots.\u00a0 He played all season with the knee injury and had off-season surgery to clean it out.<\/p>\n

Milton Williams<\/strong> \u2013 The highest paid defensive lineman in the league gave the Patriots fans some hope for a potential dominating defense.\u00a0 However, I haven\u2019t read much about Williams play in Training Camp.\u00a0 He was beaten by Jared Wislon in on-on-ones, and you haven\u2019t heard his name mentioned about getting sacks.\u00a0 Note he may be providing pressure, but we may not know about it.\u00a0 The upcoming joint practice with Washington will tell the story.<\/p>\n

Injured Players<\/strong> \u2013 Getting injured in camp is a bummer for these players that have worked so hard to make a team.\u00a0 Brock Lampe<\/strong> was an undrafted player that had perhaps the best chance to make the team.\u00a0 Lampe has been placed on IR.\u00a0 Josh McDaniels is one of the few Offensive Coordinators to use a Fullback in their arsenal.\u00a0 Marcellus Dial<\/strong> had an apparent knee injury and he’s out for the year.<\/p>\n

Yasir Durant<\/strong> was signed from the UFL.\u00a0 He was selected as a UFL All-League LT this past spring.\u00a0 Durant played for the Patriots previously in 2021 when they traded for him from the Kansas City Chiefs, giving up a 2022 7th<\/sup> round pick for him.\u00a0 He was waived the following year at the cutdown date.\u00a0 He played in 7 games and started one game in 2021.\u00a0 The Patriots brought him in because they were unhappy with what they have seen so far from the Tackles.\u00a0 He has been placed on IR as well.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be surprised to see either of these players reach an injury settlement. If that happens, the team can re-sign them once cleared to play.\u00a0 Brock Lampe signed a 3 year, $2,980,000 contract with the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a>, including $15,000 signing bonus, $55,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $993,333. In 2025, Lampe will earn a base salary of $490,000 and a signing bonus of $15,000, while carrying a cap hit of $495,000 and a dead cap value of $55,000 according to Spotrac.<\/p>\n

Defense versus Offense<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Is our Defense that good and particularly the pass rush or is our Offensive Line that bad?\u00a0 K\u2019Lavon Chaisson and Keion White have wreaked havoc on the Offensive Line.\u00a0 It\u2019s well documented the woes of the Offensive Line so far in Training Camp.\u00a0 The proof will be how they perform in the joint practices against competition that is not your own teammates.\u00a0 If the pass rushers are not getting the same type of pressure, then it may be just that the Offensive Line is still that bad.\u00a0 The joint practice with the Commanders will tell us more than the actual pre-season game on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
