[0:07]" This is a bobcat from Patriots dot com. Surgery Campos it's contact work and -- can start a long road mom you know Goldman based. Patriots broadcast live from Gillette Stadium in Foxboro to practice."

[0:29]" Alone. Concentrate one day at a time one -- time -- the the other now with -- Patriots to an eight training camp pretty good leaders of Patriots football weekly. It. That's right baby and we are back Gillette Stadium it's pouring -- side -- nice and cozy in the studio here in the bowels of the stadium. Training camp is back at it the Patriots convened for the first media availability of training camp so -- Lewis. The culture when you know they've been practicing of these various things. Lots going on at Gillette Stadium fans couldn't see -- of PFW it's here. To update you on everything the first thing I want to get too. Media releases of the day -- mail reportedly. Has reached an agreement with the team. That's where the Boston Globe there's no -- yet I don't take your throat. From the PR department thank you voice guy I really appreciate turning in there he's expected to be on the field soon you do this afternoon or tomorrow potentially. And the guys not on the field we have an interesting list of the UP players twelve players. Which if you read earlier Patriots dot com it was eleven is now -- officially be corrected that. Quickly we'll go through the list now Jarvis Green Benjarvis Green-Ellis Rodney Harrison. Ellis Hobbs and catcher Stephen Neal all of her -- Bo -- Mike Vrabel Wes Welker Ryan Wendell. And Mike Wright that's twelve players also in addition to the roster for the start training camp. Defensive tackle Titus Adams former draft pick of the Jets have bounced around a bit. Paul Perillo join me not on PP Erik el -- Physically able to perform but -- here -- give me your first impressions of what you first today in the beautiful. Dana Farber field house your to a stadium for the indoor training camp practice he'd be."

[2:26]" just to add to your sort of procedural kind of things Benjamin -- also was not practicing but not on -- He was the one non member that was not you know in uniform that was not. Listed as PP yeah but Indy to meet at the first impressions obviously indoors it's a little bit different dynamics change small confined space and I don't think. It is easy to kind of keep track of what's going on but for me. I -- that negate the work with the passing game I I was impressed with Jason Webster you know Webster and Fernando Bryant seemed to be the the corners that that got the first call again in the ever on seven drills and some of that stuff about Webster was so I was impressed him he was around the ball -- it did a good job on Randy Moss and a couple plays. You know opposite earlier I don't want to put too much into it but he's got about to me."

[3:15]" You started with defense honest I was off and Paul my first impression sort of -- one -- and one B 18 Tom Brady did basically no throwing. And the running game was it was a big emphasis with -- running getting the bulk of the carries in the in the offense versus defensive. Drills he was getting carrier to carry it with some mixed results he gets some good yardage here and sometimes that the -- to break -- and tackle for a loss but. Running game was definitely the focus throwing. In the back -- the castle and Gutierrez both got a lot of reps when they were throwing the ball but Brady not so much so those are the two things -- roasted -- me. I first impressions I think we had a hint that this based on the schedule. Which was three of the first four days of camp are projected to be double sessions for the players although not all of them open the -- will be short term papers -- schedules. And I thought -- very physical practice we saw this morning even though wasn't item -- limited a little patio. Full pads Eric said it right we had an interior running drills some banging I thought it was a good start and may be a good glimpse into. What may not be necessarily a country club atmosphere here it's never wants to talk about rebounding from Super Bowl law and houses team going to come out of the -- I think you are a little glimpse -- today very physical first session out there."

[4:30]" There and and I don't think that's an accident -- I think that probably the mess that they're built Bill Belichick is really try original -- to a team all offseason. Is to move on and get past you know and we feel we've talked about it joked about it what next -- going to react. You know we're at where they gonna go Tedy Bruschi actually at what's next a number of -- you wonder if maybe that you know I know -- this year yeah I would in a locker -- we'll keep an eye out for that but. You got on the same thing we all weren't separate interviews with different players we've heard. Variation of that are pretty much with everybody so I don't think it was an accident that bill had them out -- quick. Banging heads and any any hangover effect I think because he's going to try to knock right out of them. As Asia and that you know -- the that -- but he saved a model our our mode right now was I getting there."

[5:17]" For the next practice yes one day at a time that they wanna put pressure on the other night right. Couple more procedural things Tank Williams saw a lot of action at inside linebacker next Tedy Bruschi. Especially in some of those interior run -- out -- it just. It's interesting to keep an eye and that's through camp Tank Williams appears to be as much linebacker at this point as he is a -- sixty -- Previously in his career although it's always been kind of versatile player and he said he has a lot of lot of experience playing at a around the line of scrimmage so. -- to him it wasn't that big change but. I did asked specifically about being in 34 interior incidents area with anything there's just animals the other changes on Mayo gets onto the field and on the rotation sort of plays out. Ops and another line up. Piece of information when -- UP. The right side of the and it Stephen Neal also MPT -- kind of expected I think that coming off the -- last year the right side of the offensive line with the first unit. Right guard -- Stein the oft used veteran and now -- getting plenty of reps with the first unit right tackle. He rest how are you could see in some -- out there all well treated like an easy at their team can editor. Because he's not the directors Tom Brady. And he did get a lot of action as a point got a lot of action and spoke. To the media had a large contingent on discussed the fact that he did not get one of the primary parking spots here for the players at Gillette Stadium with not one of the winners in the off season program. Talk a little bit about that the fact that. At this point is -- this other priorities in life that you know kinda gotten away in the offseason it takes it here some things that. He can't do during the football season when it is football 247. I'm young talked about how you know while he was enjoying the time off and got to do some things he certainly is ready to get back. March and you know so excited about it on -- like come here -- that you may hurt him back to work. And now while he's back to work. It into -- today but don't could be concern you know there was that he he report that. You know we might still be -- that was an -- report -- they took a joke and -- exactly the last Chinese army was getting banged up but he doesn't feel banged up at this point. Oh. And I think. Younger. Life really did. It and mark as related. Mine is important so I think. Rates and attack this season. So we can make. His -- feeling really good because you throw the ball today so why would feel that he didn't do anything all the did was hold his helmet to -- I'd like -- you know that that Cassell and Gutierrez. And of the -- well threw the ball well -- their opportunities they need to -- because they're fighting for a job -- enough fight for a job bill -- to see those guys more than Tom Brady -- I'm so important thing for Brady at any point camp -- good -- and not just waste the bullets in the gun at this -- year. I think for me twice that day. I don't think it's important you know I think. You know make sure the -- take -- regrets this team. Practices days it's good good form when it's good for me some guys can do it but I think for over a long term it's going to be. Beneficiary. -- And another thing that he will benefit from. Is the fact that one of his great friends but great nemesis is going to. -- as. An -- Matt Light members yeah. Is no longer in the division. Recently Jason Taylor -- quickly from Parcells. Two -- Washington Redskins where he'll wear number 55. And will not be quite the same -- he has been over the last few years -- your compatriots."

[9:06]" Yeah yeah I think light and I would like optical bearden you know and I saw that transaction here at most two most exciting players. And on the NFL's. I appreciate that very much I let him know it is well. -- we're only in each other near us it was awesome."

[9:24]" And so -- from Parcells -- yeah that's -- that's nice pat on the back for Tom Brady he won't have to get hit the Jason Taylor all those times and Matt Light. Is number should only improve it you know it's already an all pro tackle to right he should look better and better as the as the years go on the offensive line. Clean shaven Matt Light at short hair no beer Logan Mankins looked awful -- Philadelphia. Was Hartford Dan -- and maybe they were actually trying to imitate rest folks think that's a VO Islam even when there were doing -- from it grow anything right. You know he's in that starting group now -- there. It was. Anyway an exciting I thought first day of training camp as exciting as Indy. Inside torrential conditions so the evening workout today on Thursday is expected to also be indoors. But as always we urge you as a fan check Patriots dot com first before you make any plans of coming down here to Gillette. But once the weather turns be sure you get your butt down here. And enjoy the show because it doesn't last long it doesn't last long. You got one of the best teams in football back in action. Taking the first steps in the building blocks towards what they hope will be. A championship season that's going to put the wraps on this training camp podcast. And we'll see tomorrow."
