[0:17]" Information on this or any other people it's podcast. Patriot -- Now the leaders of Patriots football weekly and Lorrie Durant ski. I am -- in England roster play like -- and it. Advantage at an angle at any and -- night. Thank you -- lots going on. Long gone -- the days of June and July early July we have nothing to talk about that I have a stack of papers in front of me that I'll run group quickly. Or tenth quickly you'll get his volleys you -- and -- first of all veteran. Tackle Anthony Clement signed on Monday July 21. As did at first year free agent Chris one Dunlap. Treat him only a year ago. Again. 23 round pick Shawn Crable Kevin O'Connell into their rookie deals. On Monday -- likely first. Rookie free agent offensive lineman -- for him out signed with the team Tuesday July 22 but don't get to look at. That's another paper was his name on it later in this report. Second round draft choice Terrence Wheatley Tuesday July 22 officially -- his rookie -- Then Thursday July 24 which would be noticed yesterday. Started training camp they signed defensive tackle Titus Adams. Also announced a twelve -- UP list these guys do count towards the eighty -- roster at this point in training camp. But and a Arnott out on the practice field camp practice yet Jarvis Green. Benjarvis Green-Ellis Rodney Harrison Ellis Hobbs -- Stephen -- Oliver Ross Bo -- Mike Vrabel Wes Welker Ryan Wendell. Like right. And then. That I would -- back to our -- Mota who was cut after practice yesterday to make room for. Rookie first round pick linebacker Gerard Mayo who they report by your view yesterday. It was on the practice field with a second session of the first entry -- missed the opening session they. -- I's and cross the -- as they say guides. Lot of talk about I guess we'll start with. Number ten overall pick in April's draft linebacker Jerod Mayo misses a single well I guess a couple workouts technically but in camp ready to go what do you think. Looked good in the limited role that we saw -- yesterday. I question I think -- last -- workouts yeah. Arctic January 12 but -- I don't like out yesterday's morning work out the first the offense consisted of Tank Williams and a Bruschi inside linebacker -- there was Gerard -- in the second. Practice in the twos in the second wave of intently and restarted in -- back with -- it's early it's early it's only been one day and into practice you know -- you're very but to -- male looks good right he looked very good."

[3:15]" That is very fat area very quick athletic and all the things that we talked about in the pre draft price is about him. We saw really on one played -- really open a lot of buys them and that was you know quick screen -- body diagnosed it very quickly got out in the flat it was Heath Evans. Was -- what do drugs for a -- my the ball got there would have been one of those big plays -- linebacker. -- definitely been dropped for a loss and oh is he saw the speed the athletic -- and now in the instincts on one."

[3:43]" Only concern was at the end of that -- sort of pulled up a little bit. Gingerly -- the the sideline the trainers had to go and attend to him it was a a right leg injuries on the decree it looked like and was drinking a lot of water afterwards it was sort of and let's be honest to -- was on the field in all likelihood he would run the conditioning run 34 hours earlier yeah which is one of those things that. Pretty stressful on your body right and as you recover from it cool down and and try to ramp back up cramping and a little -- to be something that he might have to deal with so I don't."

[4:12]" Think -- anything to be overly concerned about as Eric said that the trainers didn't work on him for good ten minutes or so. And he didn't return into any drills he sort of the side. But I think it's always something that they were at all concerned about that probably would have removed him and and had him get get treatment somewhere you know not standing on the sideline on a bad ankles or you know for example. I think it was just a cramp and I think in his reasons for cramps would be. Certainly understandable --"

[4:40]" The other I would say the other biggest news mails and camps all the rookie draft picks are here on the field ready to go. Except for Bo Ruud and some of the other guys on utopia twelve man list on -- twelfth man there was some original confusion as Rodney Harrison was not included. On the original release from the team but it's a twelve man list. Mike Vrabel Wes Welker some of the notable names along with Harris and most of those guys dealing with off field excuse me injuries come from the offseason -- missed -- hand passing -- what have you. I'm Rachel is a name that kind of piqued the curiosity of some. Harris and pique the curiosity of some catcher I think our. Because of his off field issues that have been well publicized last weeks and months. I just what do you -- reaction to those lists and in some of the guys that are on."

[5:29]" I was very surprised like everybody else with Vrabel Harris and for the reasons you mentioned in the I don't know what the deal is. I talked to a couple of people yesterday. About Vrabel in particular no one really seem to know anything about Rodney. Vrabel they seem to think that was -- with some -- knows -- is -- that everybody is -- That it was -- because he was it mini camp while -- I think a similar situation a minor. Problem that not expected to keep much he could very well be out there. You know it a point to weekends just precautionary yeah I I don't mean kind of the way it was relayed to me by a couple people -- not anybody in side of the football operations at should point out not a coach or anything like that. On -- I don't think it does anything to be too concerned about but at the same time. When you're dealing with -- older players and you know -- we know hope bill likes to monitor the you know the wrapped up like that it make it makes sense of training camp."

[6:24]" Yeah I I wasn't too surprised with Welker given what we says about him his having missed some time in the spring. Paul documented -- situation well enough my concern a little -- is about a couple of guys maybe that we haven't mentioned in addition the catcher. Stephen Neal. Being on that list. You know after he only played about eight games last year. Try to come back in the Super Bowl had a little bit -- time there too I think his. Situation is is problematic for the team at this point we don't know you know how well is going to recover. When he'll come back and with couple with casual situation that puts the whole right side of that line. As the big question mark going forward so it's not really surprised that they've been signing a lot of offensive lineman of late. But that's that those are the those -- the 2 guys I am going to be most concerned about like we set that we don't think the other guys are too much of a problem at this point just from what we've heard. But them long term concerns I think those two guys by Andrew Neil."

[7:20]" Specifically I think at this point you just accept the fact that he's demons that probably not going to get extra shoulder injury that is dating back whatever it is -- years now. On and a fumble recovery. Against the Packers go to the famous blue on blue game. Here to a stadium when I don't know what the ball and he did it may have. Seriously hindered as long term FL future he's -- procedures he's been you know I've dealt with it. I think that's a concern moving forward we talked catcher who's also on PUP. Guard during the offseason workouts so used him yesterday at -- folks -- Wesley -- taking the bulk of the -- Right guard tackle respectively but I knew -- had to. Some -- keep an eye on especially in light of the focus on the offensive line coming out of the Super Bowl and the fact they get their butts handed to -- by the Giants but we're back at it. Training camp this year these roster reports will be exciting each and every week. As we move forward towards the 75 -- cut down 65 -- cut down 53 man cut down all the cut down that are coming. Lab from Alda -- make it to the eighty -- cut down unfortunately but we'll have new names talk about each and every Friday. And leading us along the way it will be our own fearless leader -- They should keep checking out a lot. --"
