Patriots Camp-Cast - 08/08/2007

[0:00]" Welcome back to another patriots dot com can't cast in the heart here joined by Tom -- Alley in will be talking about it another Wednesday August 8. Or in practice inside. The Gillette stadium Dana Farber field house practice facility. Rained a little bit before what the session was supposed to start. It was moved inside close to the public obviously in then the media was held off her half hour or so by the time we got out there Tom. Anyone who's probably considered a starter back up for. I don't know one of the top two to three teams on the roster not out there basically rookies undrafted free agents. First year players prepping for Friday night's. Pre season over in Tampa. What are your thoughts."

[0:46]" It Brandon Meriweather will be the one exception he was out there but he was a rookie he said yeah you know when you're waiting go to practice -- you see 30 guys isn't walking away from the bubble. And third Tom Brady can't cope in Matt light use saving yourself. Is fighting an Internet as a training camp. Arm but it was in the bubble it's limited they can't even pot right -- thing bill I think worsen a walk in with starters is basically a walk with the third fourth he was which which is what we we got today Garrett mills -- drums being in children is Brandon Meriweather will reprisals horrible players out there are to take anything from this practice hopefully."

[1:30]" The players that was out their is the newest patriot Dante Wesley acquired in trade with the bears for conditional pick wearing number 38 was on the field as all the players weren't full pads even though was sort of walk through have speed type practice he gets some action in the slot as magic corner covering bam Childress but it -- spoke about his press conference later in the morning. The guy has made his career based on special teams he'll get some consideration that corner but it makes this roster is likely as a special teams -- kind of guy yeah I would."

[2:01]" Being so -- looked comfortable to me it in the slot BM childers was open pretty easily analyst one practice obviously it was a nothing practice just. He looked a little stiff not really quick more or -- bigger guy man necessarily equipped guy he's at because he's jacked yet he is he's huge. And he's -- talker I don't know how long that's gonna last the media seem like numbers. He was comparing Sante Samuel. Lance Briggs -- Seattle."

[2:27]" Today and he'll learn that that's not really good thing around for a year but on a day when again since there's no out there there weren't a lot of people for the paid media have talked to. He was a popular guide -- talked to bam Childress was a sort of a star on the field and as you said he. Issue -- the athletic he's a great guy to have on the team great practice player. You're the only one running back out there Quentin Smith will be in Childress took some reps of the group at running back. He'll do basically whatever they ask them that's why he's the ideal practice squad player practice player for this team and he's a guy can watch in the pre season. And fortunately his runs sort ends on the pre season and -- all the talent they have receive right here."

[3:04]" In the guy who let the -- they would probably Kelley Washington he -- not -- annual I kinda hard to know where he stands right now. I think if -- out there it's -- Kelley Washington with the price cross them off the list now he's still has a fighting chance to his old tricks in his press conference also this was sort of one."

[3:21]" Ending down really getting ready to instead be going blue versus white they'll finally get to face another team another color Jersey -- the west coast offense from Jon gruden. Little bit of they're 43 Tampa two zone you know coverage schemes and it just be different it'll it'll finally give them a chance to see some different things react play football. You know we talked a little bit about it guys like Oscar -- we need to see can this guy. React to a world were running player and you you know beat a guard Peter would Kenny play. You'll get some of these guys out there who would be one or two guys from from this point on you're really looking forward to some game action."

[3:56]" We'll go into the linebackers I think woods will be one -- he can maybe be a little bit in the rotation he's not going to see a lot of playing time this year obviously but maybe a couple of pass rushing situations here there. Eric Alexander's another guy animal he's -- place we're in the red Jersey. But that's a guy look at that linebacker to see if there's any of the young guys that are going to step up. When Tom Brady your quarterback that's I was into the net -- I don't want to see -- all he's a member of the three stooges want to see him sitting in the pocket. Looking down the field look in his reads and throw the football."

[4:28]" And one position we can really evaluate because it doesn't really involve anyone else is punter we'll get a chance to see some of these guys punt in game action. And see what they have with the bright lights on and some fans and I and our natural Rusch coming at them we'll see. If Miller what he's got coming back from the injury was to a blogger has coming off the great Europa season Tom Malone get a couple chances out there. So you know that's another one we can actually evaluate pretty quickly you don't have to wait to find out -- what the coach's daughter how to react to what the play call was it's all right out there for you to look at one more quick note on the morning here to a stadium there was a press conference held right after coach belichick's press conference with the owner Robert Kraft. And representative from the MIA the Massachusetts high school athletic association which runs the Super Bowls and they announce that the stadium -- Stanley in the MIA have come to an agreement. For the next three years to -- six high school Super Bowls each season. Here Gillette stadium -- on the first weekend December December 1 this year. And then give the kids from all of eastern Massachusetts the chance to play. On the turf at Gillette stadium and you know share a field where job Tom -- had a lot of success in the -- that's a great honor for the kids which does a result of the Tom good solid generations -- got you know would only in that seventh game right. Because this is one game a year that won't be played on the -- and if Thomas Allen were playing high school football on eastern man has his team in the acting head I'd be on the bench and now it's fun because the press conference was actually be the better of the two press conferences today build -- wrapped up quickly -- Robert Kraft came out stole the -- the game by saying would you do to my coach he smiling. Because it was smiling as he left the podium season no question -- joked about the not a lot of talk about Super Bowls around here and then this was the one opportunity to talk to bulls for the high school kids. So I was just impressed confidence and see how that plays out into -- when they have the games here and then now patriots will get back together one more time for a session this afternoon 5:30 PME second of the day hopefully it'll be outside hopefully it'll be open to the public hopefully it'll be a little bit more exciting in the morning session. On Czech patriots dot com has always before you come down here to make sure it still is open to the public. And updates in the schedule be available as soon as we get them but that's going to put the wrap another can cast and the next time we talked to you. They'll be a game in the books in the patriots will have finally faced another team for Tom -- Indian art"
