Tweets of note from Wednesday’s Patriots Minicamp Practice

by

Headlines today are that Darrelle Revis didn’t finish the session and Josh Boyce pulled up with what’s probably a hamstring tweak and didn’t finish either. Otherwise, more of the same with the rookies showing some promise, especially Garoppolo, who is benefiting from Ryan Mallett’s absence. In the long term this Mallett injury could really be beneficial to the Pats as Garoppolo is immediately getting a ton of work.

Here are the tweets of note…

[Wilfork] has made more progress than I think anybody really expected to at this point. He was out there for the entire practice yesterday, but his reps were extremely limited over the last few sets of 11-on-11 drills. This is progress from the previous two times we’ve seen him. He used to be out there for an hour of practice then go rehab inside the bubble (Dana Farber Fieldhouse). I think the fact they’re keeping him out there means the rehab schedule has changed and they’re more confident in the progress he’s making.

Good look at some of the depth along the offensive line. Braxton Cave and Josh Kline are two guys we haven’t talked much about this offseason, despite believing offensive line was really in need of the boost it got in the draft. It boils down to having really good competition for camp and the injury insurance that kind of depth provides. I think that the starting fivesome when the season starts could be surprising.

Nice long look at the enigma that is Armond Armstead. Sounds like Armstead is really having a rough go of it, but until we see him on the practice field again it’s probably best to lower our expectations. Hopefully he can recover from whatever he’s dealing with and make it back out there for training camp.

Now this is perfect coverage. In phase, looking back for the ball. This Darrelle Revis guy might be pretty good for us…

Defensive linemen Will Smith, Tommy Kelly and Vince Wilfork were all full participants for all two hours of practice. That’s a promising sign for a defensive line rotation that was ravaged by injuries last season. Wilfork, in particular, has looked much improved over OTAs, where he appeared to be lumbering around a bit.

As has been the case in each practice we’ve watched Garoppolo, there were some notable highs and lows. The high came in 11-on-11 drills when he threw a beautiful, arcing 40-yard bomb down the right sideline to hit receiver Jeremy Johnson in stride for a touchdown. Just a sweet deep ball in which Garoppolo later said he noticed the safeties had rotated, creating the window in which to throw.
