Play from 0:02[0:02]" From from."

Play from 0:06[0:06]" This is a broadcast from Patriots dot com and cut yardage. A little bit regular schedule kind of like a normal Wednesday for plan on it. No -- Wednesday tomorrow on Thursday Friday on Friday Patriot -- from Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. At about plant -- by the great opportunity for quality team. Team news weather over this level. Challenge now -- your Patriots 2008 training camp update the leaders of Patriot football weekly."

Play from 0:39[0:39]" Not only is kind of Wednesday it is Wednesday about that August 13 the year 2008. Another training camp practice in the books we are coming down. For the wire here as bill said not only is and you just said that Iliescu did kind of Wednesday to moral kinda be Thursday it acts and the Patriots. We'll kind of play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. So is bill that they made this into almost a mini game week here where their prepping for the game action we just return from the practice field behind Gillette Stadium sunny hot. I'm joined by Eric LB you know and Michael printing the newest member of Patriots football weekly who's complaining about. In on stroke out there was so warm and some game type pressure at the end of practice today -- talk about a little bit later parent who a lot of talk about a right now since you brought it up. Okay Vince Wilfork and always a camp favorite especially with the players upped the ante a little bit this year had to hold to balls one in each hand. Yeah yes Winfield and -- and had to -- in a punt. Did it and as such the players have no meetings have the rest of the day here Wednesday off. Get a little bone to talk to them from bill -- checked him. They're always a big fan of that while Loretta before we get the practice action will go over some of the other little -- that came out of the and of practice in the media session Tom Brady talks in the you'll get back then a minute but couple things he went over. Discussed why they're no longer in red jerseys. Because they asked no longer be in red jerseys quarterbacks -- go to white coaches agreed. The quarterbacks once again Matt Cassel. Kevin O'Connell him Brady over Ontario and right no Gutierrez yet again who is going to Nobel checked in with a little rules were the F from the game. Another aspect that came out a lot of guys who didn't play in the pre season opener Tom -- in that group will be playing in Tampa I spoke with anymore he that he will be playing in Tampa but that you might get a little bit. More of a feel for the actual quote unquote first unit -- sides of the ball although. That leads me to list of guys that did not practice today along with long and then phenomenal when he to having to run right through it I wouldn't count jumped when he but I'll tell you it's three lines and -- notebook in hand and ago now. Okay -- now after that time. Matt Gutierrez. Who's number fifty Kelley Washington J and -- Jonathan Wilhite Lewis Sanders. LaMont Jordan. -- to anything there UB -- okay Mike Richards and Rodney Harrison. And that with numbers -- 38 pilot analytical Stephen Neal on do you Peyton. Ryan Callahan Russell and Matt Light. On offensive lineman Barry Stokes -- yeah favorite. All of a raw deal on you haven't seen partner and even. Sammy can. Which even Smith. Richard Seymour. But dale. I I I get a read the whole list and I got to pause to think of who the guy is every time -- Right I want numbers but. You know we don't obviously don't know a lot of a lot of these guys Seymour is a guy it's been in and out during camp. Dale Thomas you'd like to think really yesterday's all right veterans' day off at this point. Bomb but I think at this point to have as you twenty guys missing practice is a little."

Play from 3:57[3:57]" As a mile an hour Ulster promise I'll have a big deal with Thomas a day off more taken that. Blew it shall we had to probably -- the transaction took please practiced today as well. Like if I can pronounce it. Hot he ID Jamaal you know -- him cornerback joined the team. Pete McMahon who joined the team during camp a couple of weeks ago is gone hardly knew -- it ought -- EO. Jamaal. Jim OI mean tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow I'm Jamal he's 28 hit 69. And FL career games with the Washington -- in Chicago -- 3 to 6 in Washington Post seven with the Bears. 61187. He was out on the field wearing number 43. And you've done failed to make -- play that -- Yet he fell down trying to quote -- quote -- Jacque Jones -- clump of grass after you picked off off the victory but a little bit of a bigger corner 61 night that I usually adults -- Jeff showed they've just brought -- was five --"

Play from 5:02[5:02]" More in line with they've what they've had in the past a little sloppy practice today offensively. Again there -- hitting the ground to dominate it really came to a head I think. During a down in distant they had fourth in their head knee in they had now. And they had back to back off side penalties on the offense heading is caller yeah off Marcus Pollard. Jumped -- sides and -- take -- lap and then the very next play Randy -- and didn't even have to be told after he jumped -- he just kept right on going basically -- Wesley -- also -- stepped -- and it -- funny because in today's press conference Bill Belichick was asked about -- actually -- two -- questions about -- talking about -- you know -- that the players don't hear -- when the crowd -- as they take what is essentially yeah. For anyone has small children that timeout that dictating. And and hope that they spend a lap thinking about what they did wrong much like a child in timeout that doesn't happen again and then even talk a little bit about how he first started you with a giant and where all started back then but it's funny -- mine too much time discussing it and then you have. All pro Randy Moss having to take a lap after I mean."

Play from 6:15[6:15]" Every day there who plays a lot of you know Crable had a round today and I sent it assumes that the -- along here a lot of drop passes this time -- Protection breakdown rating was also today yeah who has had a couple all failed on out patterns on had one ball that didn't sale but. Chad Jackson seemed to cut off his route like -- tires on the sideline very discouraging to see him -- yet and it and I know Brady was asked about it after practice sort of downplayed at that young players we've all been through it but. How -- you young players every three years in the system three year three users of the year for wide receivers. Either to make or break -- by year three you know for guys going to be good enough in this league or not. And at this point he has some way to go to that the pleas at their idea player played but I would say mentally he's adrenaline -- and apparently he's not well bright but he should have been meeting room he should have been. You know in his playbook all year being mental reps on the field on. No question Chad Jackson is one of the great disappointment of this camp so far too."

Play from 7:14[7:14]" Eight got a little bit of an update David Tom old due to talk a little bit about it the that is more involved in the offense this year I think kind of the big thing for me is that what you set you have a record -- like last year. I think people going to be gearing up that the -- inning gearing up that kind of offense that you might want to throw little Marbury -- thirteenth -- right back to Cuba more screens -- and -- we talked about this show several times -- emphasis on the running game I think guys like David Thomas if you -- you'll be a part that that day though. In that practice he had he has been perfect each got a couple balls early immediate seems real against being covered by nobody -- it was. Not a bad day -- you'll be more involved in in and then -- falls in capital."

Play from 7:56[7:56]" Funny because I treat those two guys differently because Benoit and I think it's a well told story as questionable hands -- yet -- Thomas I think we all rave about his hands as often he makes it look so easy on him -- benches in the nighttime practice I was here for us today he antiques and he's a momentary -- we hasn't seen a lot more screens in practice against that yet no question. Not necessarily screen plays that it worked. Maybe the way they wanted to do but they have been doing them a lot more they're trying. Which is -- I have practice exactly. And Josh mcdaniels -- from having done stores on him in the past his dad he has been openly. Has openly talked about his dad it was a high school coach in Ohio being a huge screen coach he runs a lot of screens and his team or an interest whenever you see a screenplay about a Patriots how much of an influence that. And apple right does does not all of our football thing I don't care about. I -- is ignorant if you care of one presently to care to hear from is the quarterback was spoken one other time during the camp. But he met with the media today as they had covered a wide variety of topics. And in doing so also that little tour of the changes have taken place this off he's in the if he."

Play from 9:06[9:06]" I mean the Jets that have made a lot of moods and their their. That is the tough tough. A tough team Miami's main improvement buffaloes made improvements in the ninth time. Arctic team. It's definitely. Yeah I never hurts so. Public for the -- you know at Tampa this week -- and -- Kamal went through that present -- their own talent."

Play from 9:30[9:30]" the Jets will present count but this week it's Tampa Bay Buccaneers and as I said practice has begun to prepare for them you saw the offense were Indians scout -- that was running a lot of fourth three up off cards although I will say the deep offense has also been running some of their own. For me in front work. Again the out offense and against the offense at different times so as always look like the Patriots plan to be multiple. On interesting to note in the fourth three look -- out team and regular team Tedy Bruschi in the middle Mike Vrabel one night. Mayo was on the outside. In the as one of the three linebackers and you know other little more in and they aren't normal formation. The -- and see if that happens in in a game situation -- that simply dale Thomas was on the field. Ambient but I think you you're seeing from Mayo the continued development and rap that he's going to be an option to to a wide variety of things he has a lot of talent. And add diversity I think in his game in terms of size systems be all the things that look for line and that would make sense if if he did have a chance to do that were were Thomas not to be there because that was the natural spot they played at Tennessee right. On the outside so. So -- and keep and I am but again a little bit of a sloppy practice and it ended with a bang though is Vince Wilfork called in a punt very impressive for for a -- man his size and agility and I mean I've -- five. That style he's in the treat the eighties at some point has got a ball -- Holland on later pac man Jones on hard knocks right very -- for Aaron and the players have the night off. Thanks to it no meetings will be back on the field tomorrow Eric what do you want we have one other note because we -- told by our PR department that contrary to initial public reports Friday. Will be the last opening day of training camp weather permitting of course -- usual but it was originally said that tomorrow Thursday. Would be real -- they're giving an extra day giving fans and -- right at large expatriate that competent right chance it could be 130 session not the normal 230 session and depending on the rain in the tomorrow. Will be at 230 session out on the practice field if it's anything like it was today pitcher -- out there because it's beautiful there in pads are prepping for a game in which Tom Brady and many of the ones will place he -- some legitimate practice action and get even closer to a taste of what the 2008 Patriots are going to be guess will be there. Heart. -- now. Michael print the hopefully Paul Perot maybe Paul -- you know day -- whoever's there will tune back in here tomorrow night we'll give -- another Patriots dot com training camp podcast. Until then. Thank you for."

Bill Belichick On-Field Interview - 8/15/2008 

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick addresses the media during his on-field interview on Friday, August 15, 2008 at Gillette Stadium. BB: As you know we put Barry [Stokes] on IR [injured reserve] and signed John [Lynch] so it keeps our roster at 80. I am excited to have John on the team. He is a guy I have admired for a long time - his playing style and his production. He has been a great player with different organizations and with nine Pro Bowls. I had the opportunity to coach him in Hawaii a couple years ago. I have a lot of respect for John, the way he plays and the way he prepares. So we wrap things up here today relative to Tampa Bay [Buccaneers] with a short walkthrough tomorrow. As I said, we are looking forward to this game. I think it will be a great learning experience for us down there on a lot of levels both individually and collectively as a team for us. They are a good football team and like I said, I am sure we will learn a lot there. That is kind of where we are at today. Q: Are guys like Mike Vrabel and Ellis Hobbs coming off of PUP [physically unable to perform], at a level where they could play? BB: We will make that decision between now and when we leave tomorrow. I want to let them go through a week of practice and see how it goes. It is possible. If they are practicing, then it is possible. Q: Is it unfair at this point to put John Lynch out on the field? BB: Well, we will talk about that and see how it went today. We will look at the film, talk to him, see how he feels and see how we feel. Q: John [Lynch] was released a couple of weeks ago. What led to the timing of signing him now? BB: It just worked out that way. That is the way that it came together. I can’t even give you a reason. Q: What do you remember about four years ago when you pursued him? How far did you get with him? BB: He came up, we talked to him and went through some other stuff. He ended up going to Denver [Broncos], which that is the way it is with...
