Tweets of note from Wednesday’s Patriots Minicamp Practice

June 18, 2014 by Mike Dussault

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…

Josh Boyce has a left leg injury and didn’t practice. Got stretched out early but watched the rest of practice. Setback for huge offseason.

— Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) June 18, 2014

Roughly midway thru practice, Gronk and Slater emerged from the practice field and ran sprints up far hill behind practice field.

— Christopher Price (@cpriceNFL) June 18, 2014

Rookie Jon Halapio continues to get a lot of reps at guard with a reasonable facsimile of the starting offensive line.

— Christopher Price (@cpriceNFL) June 18, 2014

I sound like a broken record, but Daxton Swanson was all over the field again today. Two INTs and a pass breakup.

— Doug Kyed (@DougKyedNESN) June 18, 2014

Darrelle Revis did not finish practice, though reporters didn’t see him exit field

— shalise manza young (@shalisemyoung) June 18, 2014

Brandon LaFell returned to practice, but it looked like Josh Boyce tweaked something in the warmup line and didn’t participate.

— Mark Daniels (@MarkDanielsPJ) June 18, 2014

Without Mallett, Garoppolo got more reps. Like yesterday, a good day for the rookie–more good than bad throughout session.

Patriots Thursday OTA Media Access Wrap Up

June 5, 2014 by Mike Dussault

Another day with media access to the Pats’ OTAs and it’s nice to get some actual observations from those who were there. You know, instead of all the fun listening to how Tom Brady really isn’t that good.

Some general consensus thoughts I found interesting:

Boyce and Thompkins have made good impressions on a number of those watching the practices. I haven’t been especially excited about either, but that doesn’t mean I’ve closed the door on them. It’s certainly not helping Dobson to not be out there.

Undrafted rookie Roy Finch has gotten some attention as well, always with the caveat that we’ll see what happens when the pads come on. But who wouldn’t like another Danny Woodhead-type?

Dennard and Solder are probably two of the bigger injury surprises. Dennard has been MIA, seems like he was always fighting through something last year and dinged his shoulder in the AFCCG. Solder is a mystery.

Looks like Mayo and Vollmer are fully recovered and should have no issues from their injuries last year.

Wilfork, Tommy Kelly, and Will Smith also did a little more today, that’s a very positive sign.

Garoppolo looked inconsistent. Shocker for a rookie QB in this system.

Here’s a round-up of the round ups…

Gronk at OTAs. Still rehabbing but a good sign he’s out there. And no mega arm brace for now.

Patriots OTA Practice Report Linkage

May 30, 2014 by Mike Dussault

Here are some reports from the reporters who were there today. Some nuggets that stood out to me:

Jamie Collins looked bigger and rarely left the field despite a lot of rotation going on.

Jemea Thomas seeing time at Free Safety with the second team.

Roy Finch and James White standing out, those two will push not only for roster spots but playing time it seems. Though we’ll wait until the contact starts before saying anything definitive.

Starting nickel was what I expected outside of Hightower being in there instead of Collins. Though other reports said Collins was in there a ton, not sure what that means. 

Mark Harrison is actually on the field, but Armond Armstead continues to rehab whatever.

Patriots Friday OTA Roster Report

May 30, 2014 by Mike Dussault

The media is getting a glimpse at practice, here are some nuggets on who was there and who wasn’t to digest…

Rehab Group: Wilfork, Gronk, Tommy Kelly, Will Smith, Nate Solder, Brandon Bolden, Armond Armstead, Justin Green & Deontae Skinner.

Excused Absence: Jimmy Garoppolo/Asa Watson (NFLPA Rookie Premiere in LA), Cameron Fleming (still at Stanford).

MIA: Dobson, Slater, LaFell, Dennard, Mankins, Easley, Tuipulotu.

Disappointing to see Armstead still isn’t a full-go, and I’m not sure what’s going on with Solder. No reports of offseason surgery for him. Obviously the Wilfork/Gronk/Kelly/Smith group were all expected to likely be rehabbing.

The MIA group is full of surprises outside of Easley, though I was hopeful he’d at least be in the rehab group. LaFell was practicing earlier this week, maybe he just tweaked something. Dobson not a surprise though, he’s recovering from surgery.

Mankins/Dennard/Slater are all big question marks.

On Stevan Ridley’s 16-yard run (5:57 remaining), Stork fired off the ball and created some push in the middle as the defender he was blocking winds up on the ground. His two shotgun snaps were solid. Those were valuable reps for Stork, who looks like he’s ready to compete for more playing time. New England […]
