Not to get too overhyped on Brace of anything, but he is a thick, thick man.

Entering training camp, the expectations for Jones – even within the Patriots – were for him to start as a situational player and possibly evolve from there. But two things happened: Jones entered camp much stronger than most anticipated, and his pass-rush moves are much more advanced that your typical early-entry, first-round pick. Put those things together, and you have a player capable of playing every down. I think his ability to hold the point of attack has even surprised the Patriots.

The offense and defense worked against each other in a full-field two-minute drill, and for at least part of it, linebacker Jerod Mayo was using a whistle to signal the end of the plays. The 26-year old adopted a coach-on-the-field role of sorts, as it appeared the drill was run entirely by the players. The coaches largely stood pat on the sidelines. This could be a case where the players, not satisfied by what had just happened, took it upon themselves to finish practice on the right foot. If such was the case, that’s terrific leadership from Mayo, amongst others.
