It’s just that there’s a more serious vibe coming out of the workouts from Foxboro this summer. “I don’t know if you guys feel the atmosphere coming out here on this practice field,” rookie receiver Brian Tyms said to reporters Sunday, “but everybody’s serious. It’s not, ‘OK, this is just another practice.’ Everybody is serious. The level of intensity is high.”

I did not notice anything – he was not any slower, or any less explosive, that’s for sure,” Kelce said after Tuesday’s practice. “As a matter of fact, the first one-on-one he did, I was expecting [something different], and I set him on the line, and he hit me with a good swim move that I wasn’t expecting. So he still has that explosiveness, still looks like the same great player that he’s always been.

Good read from Frenz here. It’s a good story but once Dennard and Browner get back we’ll have a better sense of where Butler sits.

LB Jamie Collins had a very active day in pass coverage, and notched two pass break-ups. One was on a rainbow pass down the left sideline from Brady to Develin, and the other was on a crossing pattern that hit Julian Edelman in the hands right when Collins swiped at it.
Was really impressed with Collins size and speed in practice. His breakup of Edelman was impressive, not many linebackers can keep up with Edelman in the middle of the field and Collins was right there.
Was also impressed with Garoppolo, he seems to be building on his performance in the preseason.

So the Eagles were already dialed up Monday afternoon, even after a routine walkthrough without pads, especially the defensive backs. They had their sights set on revenge and showing the Patriots what’s in their DNA. No more Mr. Nice Guys.

So yes, the Eagles are out for revenge (?) against the Patriots for practicing too hard on them last year.
Even in a preseason practice the Pats are always in opponents heads.
Thanks to @PatriotsSB49 for the linkage.
