It says here that these scraps do not necessarily represent a deeper problem within the team – at the same time, the feistiness is worth noting for several reasons, not the least of which is that the Patriots have rarely had training camp fights since Belichick took over in 2000. But a combination of factors have led to an increased level of agitation over the last three weeks: Frustration: For all the talk we’ve heard about New England’s world-class offense, the defense has pretty much run the show over the first three weeks. As anyone who has been at camp can tell you, there’s a healthy amount of trash talking that goes on between the offense and defense during the 11-on-11 drills at a training camp practice. And the defense loves getting better of a unit that is full of high profile individuals, and isn’t shy about letting the offense know when they’ve one-upped them. A little talking, there’s no problem. You get beaten a handful of times – accompanied by more jawing – then, the frustration levels are going to increase.

Jeffery Demps scouting report | National Football Post

At his best pressing the edge and playing in space. Is a homerun threat every time he touches the football. Exhibits impressive balance laterally and routinely outpaces angles at the second level. Has elite cutting ability even at full speed. Makes defenders think he’s going to initially outpace them outside only to stick his foot in the ground and leave them in the dust. Does a great job sinking his hips and making himself small when changing directions, really generating a burst out of his breaks. Keeps his pad level down for the most part when running inside, just lacks the kind of natural size/power to create through contact. Will lower his head and run behind his pads when asked to finish, but doesn’t have the frame to wear down opposing defenses and is at his best when his touches are limited. Is comfortable in the screen game and handling the football while running the option. Catches the football when open, but struggles in traffic at times. Developing as a route runner, however at this stage would rather just run away from defenders. But if you play him in the slot with a two way go he’s going to be impossible to keep pace with even at the next level. Is a tough kid as well who has played special team, not only as a dynamic kick return option but has also blocked a punt.
