Stevan Ridley was taking reps with the first-team offense on Saturday and looked good while running through contact during 11-on-11 drills. The second-year running back out of LSU made a couple of good runs during the non-contact drills, but found holes and absorbed contact well during the full-contact drills.

Camp Observations: Day 3 – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
Great stuff throughout this article. It was the first day of full pads, thus some interesting things to observe. Let’s point out the good and bad pass rusher quote:
The good among the defense: Trevor Scott, who flashed quickness and an arsenal of pass-rush moves; Brandon Deaderick and Ron Brace, who both showed some heavy hands on interior rushes; and Jonathan Fanene, whose ability to work effectively in tight spaces was evident. Those who left something to be desired on defense: rookie draft choice Jake Bequette, who appeared indecisive in his rush; and Marcus Forston, who looks like a linear rusher but was unable to generate much push up front.
Being a good football player isn’t necessarily about how many good plays you make but how many bad plays you don’t make,” he explained. “Anybody can make good plays. You wouldn’t be in this league if you weren’t capable of making good plays. But it’s a matter of not making bad plays. You have to make the bad plays and then learn from them, and I’ve made plenty of those over the course of my career. You make them, you learn from them and you try not to repeat them.

Sounds like rookie DE Justin Francis, who was carted off, might have dodged a serious injury. Was cramping in practice, source says.

Roll call: Practice #3 – Extra Points – Boston.com
Initial impressions from one-on-ones between the offense and defensive lines: DE Chandler Jones did well for himself, LT Nate Solder was up and down, and NT Vince Wilfork lost for the first time since 2010 camp to Dan Connolly. Wilfork was undefeated last camp.
