Patriots Tweets Of Note – Training Camp 08/04

August 4, 2021 by Tom Shaw-Mellors

Back to shells and shorts for Day 7 of Patriots Training Camp, let’s check out all of the Tweets you should take note of!

Back to back INTs for the defense — first Devin McCourty, then D’Angelo Ross — as QB Mac Jones’ deliveries to Jonnu Smith and Tre Nixon both can’t connect. One to Smith went off his hands and bounced up to McCourty, while Jones was a bit high to Nixon, and Ross was on the spot.

More good defensive work today with picks for Dmac and D’Angelo Ross. It’s hard to really judge the picks in a more chilled-out session with no pads, there’s always some doubt whether the play was designed for the QB to throw it out there, or, players not going at full speed. Either way, it’s still positive for the defense and a negative for the QB’s and receivers.

N'Keal Harry makes another highlight grab.

He went full-extension to snag a rifled Cam Newton slant throw vs. J.C. Jackson in 11-on-11s.

Harry's catch followed a contested sideline catch by Kendrick Bourne vs. Jackson. Good start to the period.

— Andrew Callahan (@_AndrewCallahan) August 4, 2021

Another day, another notable catch by N’Keal Harry, he’s been making himself stand out over the last few sessions to the fans and media in attendance. I don’t know if he’s doing a whole lot else alongside the odd flashy catch, but at least this is something.

Christian Barmore and Henry Anderson are present for the start of practice. Anderson hurt his shoulder Monday and missed one practice. Barmore appeared to have a foot issue yesterday and couldn’t finish.

— Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) August 4, 2021

Positive news on the injury front, both Barmore and Anderson who had knocks returned today. It’s great that they’re back so quickly, we don’t want new players missing from these sessions, it’s vital for their chances of playing in the early part of the season/making the roster.

This caught my eye as I was scrolling through Twitter today, Mac with a dime over the top to Jakobi Meyers. Jones had a better day than Cam, in a more dialed-down session without pads.

If you were wanting a more substantial write-up from someone who was there today, Mike Reiss always has some insightful commentary from practice.

Last media available session tomorrow, and back in pads! LFG

Patriots Tweets Of Note – Training Camp 08/03

August 3, 2021 by Tom Shaw-Mellors

We asked and we were rewarded. #PadTuesday rolled around with force, another nice day in Foxboro, and some hittin! Here are the Tweets of Note you should read from Day 5 of Training Camp!

Michael Onwenu is a tough grader. Asked what he would give himself for a grade last year: “C”

— Ryan Hannable (@RyanHannable) August 3, 2021

This brought a smile to my face when I read this tweet, Onwenu was one of the top players for the team last year in a stellar rookie season, but clearly, he feels he can do more. Now, he’s clearly being modest, but, if he thinks he was just a C grade last year, I can’t wait to see what he brings to the line this season. He’s slowly becoming one of my favorite players.

With pads on for the first time there was predictably a lot of run gam focus. Michel and Harris got lots of run.

— Paul Perillo (@pfwpaul) August 3, 2021

Some work for the backs today as Michel and Harris, the two in Bill’s mind that are fighting it out for the lead back position got most of the reps today.

LB Raekwon McMillan, who showed up in Monday’s practice with two pass breakups, left Tuesday’s practice early after having his foot looked at by medical/athletic training staff. He was covering a punt, and as he throttled down, he showed discomfort by hobbling a bit to sideline.

— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) August 3, 2021

A shame this, I noted McMillan was having a great start to his camp in yesterday’s post, but a setback today with a foot injury cut short his session. Hopefully, it’s nothing major, but he joins Ted Karras and Henry Anderson with camp injuries.

Man, Christian Barmore is quick

— Alex Barth (@RealAlexBarth) August 3, 2021

Me like this a lot. Haven’t seen any good film of his session today, but I think we’ll get a real good idea of Barmore’s pass rush potential in the pre-season games. Exciting.

Cam Newton seems to be having a nice day. This time airing it out to Jonnu Smith with the toe-tapping catch on the sideline

A good day for Cam, he was launching it by all accounts, a nice completion downfield to Jonnu Smith with the toe tip catch. Lovely stuff.

Patriots Tweets Of Note – Training Camp 02/08

August 2, 2021 by Tom Shaw-Mellors

Another sunny day in Foxboro? Check. Another busy training camp session? Check. The last practice without pads? Check! – Here are the Tweets of Note from Day 5 of Training Camp.

Matthew Slater and Justin Bethel working with Kristian Wilkerson on special teams pic.twitter.com/4PoWiuNJbe

— Alex Barth (@RealAlexBarth) August 2, 2021

Cool to see this, two of the top special teamers in the league showing roster hopeful Kristian Wilkerson some techniques to try and help him be successful in an alternate role. Wilkerson has shown some sparks in these first few sessions catching the ball, being a tool for special teams will be vital in him earning a roster spot.

Raekwon McMillan is a massive fan of Dont’a Hightower: “When the Patriots would come down to (Miami) and their offense was on the field, I was watching 54 the entire time.”

Said Hightower has always been the player he wants to emulate. pic.twitter.com/1hU5aAKAaq

— Zack Cox (@zm_cox) August 2, 2021

McMillan had plenty of praise for Hightower in his post-practice presser today. Cool to hear this, McMillan is an intriguing addition to the LB core and I’m sure he’ll be like a sponge around High, trying to learn as much as possible.

Mac Jones evidently had a spot-on impersonation of Cam Newton during the Patriots’ rookie skits. Clothes, hat, catchphrases and all.

Raekwon McMillan called it the best rookie impression he’s seen in his five NFL seasons.

— Zack Cox (@zm_cox) August 2, 2021

This is amazing. If only there were some photos of this, absolutely amazing. Seriously though, it’s great to see the effort from Mac to bond with his teammates, he comes across as a dopey guy, but shows off his intelligence in interviews, he seems a really cool kid.

— Mike Dussault (@MikeDussault19) August 2, 2021

New location for Mike today opposite the stadium, glorious day! In England, there aren’t opportunities to attend sports practice like this, what a privilege for the fans and media there today.

Patriots Tweets Of Note – Training Camp 07/31

August 1, 2021 by Tom Shaw-Mellors

Day 4 of camp rolled around yesterday, with more clips and notes from fans and reporters in attendance. Let’s check out the Tweets of Note from Day 4 of Training Camp!

Nordin hits his 2nd FG of the day pic.twitter.com/uTotHv9njF

— Ethan Hurwitz (@HurwitzSports) July 31, 2021

The first real footage of any kicking activities emerged yesterday as Quinn Nordin, the UFA from Michigan, sailed one over through the uprights. Man, what a leg this kid has, if his consistency is there, I think he could easily edge out Folk by the end of camp, but, I think reps in the pre-season games will determine that.

Cam Newton again led off every period and was 12 of 21 in competitive team drills. Not as crisp as yesterday.

Mac Jones was 12 of 17 but closed practice 4 of 4 against the starters, probably his best period of the opening four days.

— Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) July 31, 2021

Jeff Howe believed Mac Jones had his best day of camp yesterday, some good throws for him against the starters, and he was showing improvement. He also noted that Cam Newton had another strong day.

Bill Belichick says team will have a few padded practices next week and then a few the following week before taking on Washington in preseason opener Aug. 12.

— Ryan Hannable (@RyanHannable) July 31, 2021

A couple of padded sessions next week to look forward to, this is where camp will really kick up a notch.

Rhamondre Stevenson looks like a real threat out of the backfield. Has impressive hands. #Patriots

— Brian Hines (@iambrianhines) July 31, 2021

The rookie RB was getting involved yesterday in some pass-catching drills, showing some potential to be a dual option out of the backfield. I’m unsure how the backs room will look come September, but it’s exciting to see this one play out.
