Very curious if we’re going to get a look at Jeff Demps tomorrow. Here’s a first glimpse of him…

It’s not about beating somebody in practice; it’s about working with somebody and getting better. We’re not here to try to win a drill or trick Tampa on something. That’s not the point of it; the point is to work on what we want to work on and work on what they’re working on so that we can become better and when we walk off the field we’re a better team than we were when we walked on it.

Man, I’m telling you man, they came out, they’d turn around huddle, snap, oh, ‘There’s the Mike, Go!’ I was like, ‘Dang! Um, Mr. Brady, can we line up?’ He didn’t care. He was like, ‘You’re not going to line up.’ When we turned around one time I checked back around and my hand was going to the grass and they were like, ‘Hut!’ And I said, ‘Noooooooooooo!’

Great stuff here and the perfect illustration of why the Pats are so good. They make the most out of every moment and take every chance to get better very, very seriously.

There were no full practice reports today but from the looks of this picture I’m going to go out on a limb and say “DEEP THREAT!”.

This week’s practices in Tampa should really be beneficial to the Pats for multiple reasons:

  1. Short week will match the same turnaround time for when they have to play the Jets on Thanksgiving.
  2. Facing a different scheme is great experience for dealing with the unfamiliar, making adjustments, etc.
  3. Team bonding time away from home always helps.
  4. Grinding through the hardest week of August in the humidity of Florida should help harden the team.
  5. Getting to hit someone other than their own teammates for a few days helps make things a little more tolerable.

I think all young tackles struggle on plays and protections in this league, OK?” he said. “Just do a little thinking. Who did Matt Light replace? Bruce Armstrong. Did anybody think that it was going to be (smooth)? OK. Did you think he had any problems with it to start with? Well hell yeah they all had problems. It is what it is. "Personally, I’m pleased with the way those kids are developing – I’m really pleased with the way they’re developing. Is it the finished product? No and we have a couple weeks to get it to as good as it can be, and then we’re going to play, we’re going to play a game. He started for us at right tackle last year, Nate did, Marcus played some. It is what it is. So whoever goes out there, we’re going to put our best players out on the field and we expected nothing but their best.
