Postcard from Camp Day 11: Belichick drops for push-ups when Patriots lose last period of joint practices with Jags

Share

FOXBORO -- The Patriots were back on the fields behind Gillette Stadium for joint practice with the Jaguars on Tuesday. For the second straight day it was unseasonably cool, and for the second time in three days there was rain. 

Here's what we saw . . . 

 

ATTENDANCE 

* Matthew Slater, Eric Rowe, Shea McClellin, Tony Garcia and Trevor Bates were not spotted on the fields when things kicked off around 9:30 a.m.

* The group of Patriots that headed down to the lower field for some conditioning work included Nate Solder, Malcolm Mitchell, Mike Gillislee, Danny Amendola, Vincent Valentine, Cody Hollister, James O'Shaughnessy and David Jones.

 

NOTEWORTHY MOMENTS

* Ealy left practice briefly for the medical tent with head trainer Jim Whalen. He appeared to be nursing an arm injury. He eventually returned and participated in some 11-on-11 work with the second group. At the end of practice, he was working against the Jags third-team offense to see more reps.

 

* Harvey Langi, Lawrence Guy, Trey Flowers and Deatrich Wise made up New England's starting front four early in 11-on-11 work. Derek Rivers also saw extensive work with the top group as a stand-up pass-rusher and a coverage linebacker. Rivers aligned over the center, guard and tackle in a two-point stance, showing Bill Belichick's willingness to have his top pick in 2017 bounce around. 

 

* Kenny Moore was one of the top two gunners on the punt team opposite Jonathan Jones. With Matthew Slater out, there's an opening for that role. Moore has had a good deal of success getting his hands on the football dating back to last spring, and it seems as though the Patriots staff wants to see if he can give them anything in the kicking game. Moore was also was in a vice role on the first-team punt-return group. 

 

1-ON-1 NOTES

* David Andrews lost ground to Abry Jones.

* Shaq Mason stopped Malik Jackson.

* Marcus Cannon planted Dante Fowler twice.

*  Cam Fleming made quick work of Lerentee McCray.

* Joe Thuney swallowed up Sheldon Day. 

* Ted Karras beat up Kevin Maurice.

 

* Malcolm Mitchell had a drop and Sam Cotton had two. 

* Mitchell made up for his drop by making a defender fall on one rep and by shaking Stanley Jean-Baptiste on another.

* Patrick Chung and Kenny Moore recorded pass breakups. 

* Rob Gronkowski was flagged by an official for a push-off. 

* Brandin Cooks had his second one-handed touchdown in as many days. And, yes, he got his feet down. One of the plays of the day.

* Brady dropped to do push-ups when the Jags won the final rep of the period.
