Mini-camp observations, Day 1 – Extra Points – Boston.com

As always, must read nuggets from Bedard. Should be interesting to watch Hoyer and Mallet this preseason. Here’s some notes on Mallet from today…

Mallett finished 7 of 15. He’s inconsistent. He threw a beautiful bomb to Julian Edelman for a touchdown over Alfonzo Dennard and Tavon Wilson, but Mallett also showed his trademark wildness with low throws and a few behind receivers. Mallett should have been intercepted by Sterling Moore. It appears the footwork drills he’s working on is affecting the consistency of his mechanics. It can be straightened out. Mallett also seems to be very cognizant of getting rid of the ball in practice. He had about four throwaways. Mallett often held onto the ball too long in the preseason last year. Quicker decision-making appears to be a coaching point this offseason, as it should be.
