Re: Camp live post

Awesome... not that that news is overly in depth or earth-shattering, but it's great to hear the boys are on the field. Let football season begin.

Thanks, Pats1.

Re: Camp live post

EEI just wondered about Moss - prob nothing to get worried about... (hopefully)... especially since reports were that he and Brady had been linked in offseason on multiple occasions.

Re: Camp live post

Thanks for that...Watson as a fullback,thats interesting...

Re: Camp live post

big crowd?

A:

The stands at the Patriots' practice field are full. Many fans are sitting on the grass. A reasonable estimate is that about 5,000 fans are here.

Yep! Here's a miniupdate from New England Patriots Training Camp Updates - CBSSports.com Rapid Reports

In this drill, it is RB Laurence Maroney and newly acquired WR Greg Lewis. Wes Welker is also a possibility.
Jul 30 2009 | 10:34:04 am
The Patriots just ran their kickoff drill. With the departure of ace kick returner and cornerback Ellis Hobbs, it will be interesting to see who the team chooses to return kicks.
Jul 30 2009 | 10:29:59 am
WR Randy Moss is absent from practice. Others who are missing include Ty Warren, Jarvis Green, Shawn Crable, Joey Galloway and Shawn Springs.

QB Tom Brady is throwing 20 yard passes into the end zone to a Patriots ball boy and his other backups. Except for one pass that sailed out of the end zone, he has been very accurate.
Jul 30 2009 | 10:03:09 am
QB Tom Brady is throwing a medicine ball to backup QB Matt Gutierrez. The crowd gave Brady a big round of applause.
Jul 30 2009 | 9:56:24 am
Vince Wilfork was jogging in the Patriots' running drill. He finished last.
Jul 30 2009 | 9:38:40 am
The Patriots are running through their offense in slow motion. QB Tom Brady is wearing a knee brace and is taking turns with backup Kevin O'Connell.
Jul 30 2009 | 9:31:54 am
The big question that remained was whether Patriots NT Vince Wilfork would hold out. Calls to his agent were not returned.
Jul 30 2009 | 9:06:06 am
Anticipation is building as the Patriots are about 30 minutes away from kicking off training camp. The sidelines are filled with fans wearing Tom Brady, Randy Moss, Tedy Bruschi, and Rodney Harrison jersies.

Giving some of the older players some time to ease into things, perhaps.

Re: Camp live post

Rain!!!!

Jul 30 2009 | 10:54:54 am
The rain is coming down even harder. There has been thunder and lightning. The Patriots are exiting the field.
Jul 30 2009 | 10:54:03 am
The Patriots' sixth-round pick, Julian Edelman, who played QB in college, made an amazing catch at WR. He could be both a receiver and the Pats' third-string quarterback.
Jul 30 2009 | 10:50:20 am
The rain is coming down heavily here in Foxborough. About half the fans have left.
Jul 30 2009 | 10:49:16 am
One of the big questions in training camp is who will emerge as the Patriots' starting corners. Second-year player Jonathan Wilhite and veteran Leigh Bodden are receiving a lot of reps with the first team.

Rain!!!!

Sucks. Sounds like Edelman is off to a nice start though.

Re: Camp live post

The team's off the field? So is BB's press conference still at 12 or is it moved up?

 

[PatsChamp88]

Re: Camp live post

Hope they can get back out on the field for the 3:45-5:30 p.m session.

Just before everyone left the field Patriots' kicker Stephen Gostkowski was booting field goals through the uprights for fans to catch.

Good stuff

Patriots' safety Brandon Meriweather made what was probably the play of the morning when he intercepted a pass and danced into the end zone.

Just I reminder I'm getting these from New England Patriots Training Camp Updates - CBSSports.com Rapid Reports is their any other site putting up live updates?

SBB's Practice Report

Just got back from practice. good stuff

First and Foremost Brady looked....his best play was a nice hookup with Welker in 11 on 11.

Edelman had the hit of the day on a nice sts play. he also may have had the catch of the day as he realed in a nice pass in the heavy rain between 2 defenders who didnt get a hand close.

Ints from Merriweather (who also had a nice stuff on a run play) and Whilhite.

I heard Fears yell at Morris twice.

Nice to see mayo out there and he made a a few plays in 7 on 7 (no wideouts/DBs) Bru also made a play in this Drill.

Slater and Chung were regularly the first down the field on kickoff coverages.

the fun half of the practice got cut short but I will post more if I recall anything.

Re: SBB's Practice Report

Which QB(s) threw the picks?

The Patriots' sixth-round pick, Julian Edelman, who played QB in college, made an amazing catch at WR. He could be both a receiver and the Pats' third-string quarterback.

Every national report seems to cling to the notion that Edelmans's in the running at QB, but until I hear any report of him working with the QBs for even one drill, I'm calling that nonsense.

Regardless, he's clearly the early favorite for everyone's camp binky!

 

[signbabybrady]

Re: SBB's Practice Report

Which QB(s) threw the picks?

Oconnell threw the one to Merriweather and I cant recall who threw the other one.




There was also another near pick with the DB and WR fighting for the ball and in the end the WR won. I believe it was Mcgowan and Aiken but for whatever I am drawing a blank.

Thank you for the update!

Re: SBB's Practice Report

Did Brady throw an INT? How were his passes? Accurate? Crisp?
