The numbers may look pedestrian in the box score (just 23 yards), but Thompkins looked comfortable in his understanding of the offense, won at the line of scrimmage, and made grabs in competitive situations. There was one snap during which Thompkins redirected Boyce to the proper alignment after Boyce broke the huddle and went to the wrong side of the formation. Seems like he’s catching on fast.

Injury updates. Outside of Mallett, the Patriots’ second-string quarterback who left late in the second quarter with a head injury and didn’t return, there were no major injuries for the Patriots. Mallett watched the rest of the second half from the sideline.

Patriots football is back! Yes, it still on the preseason, but this is where the journey to the Super Bowl begins. Or, as BB would say, establishing a base level of performance from which to build.
The biggest things? No injuries and finding out the areas of weakness. As some might suspect, I’m very curious to watch the defense, especially the quality of the pass rushers, because if you have a good pass rush it will put a lot less pressure on the secondary.
Can the young standouts like Kenbrell Thompkins and Zach Sudfeld continue to flash in game action? Or will under-the-radar types like Duron Harmon and Dane Fletcher suddenly show up when the bullets are real?
There’s nothing like almost-stress-free Patriots football watching, it should be a fascinating evening.
