I think what [Bill Belichick] saw last year in the [AFC] Championship Game was we really struggled getting off the field against Denver. His answer was not only Darrelle Revis but Brandon Browner to couple that with some of the other pieces they have in the secondary. They’re going to try to turn a weakness into a strength, and with Browner and Revis and their physicality, I think it’s going to greatly improve their man-to-man defense.’

The Patriots were running a no-huddle drill at the end of practice, and Wilfork — in a jersey so soaked in sweat that the navy blue appeared black from the adjacent hill — participated in every snap, hurrying back to the line even as the offense hurried to beat the defense to the punch.
All signs are positive on Wilfork so far. Really quite impressive considering the injury and his size. Let’s hope there are no setbacks.

I’m excited to be out here with my teammates and working to get better,” Brady said after the two-hour practice. “It’s a long training camp. It’s going to be a lot of effort and a lot of work. There is no easy way about it. You just have to grind and put the work in and listen to the coaches, try to make the improvements. Hopefully when we start the season, we’ll be a lot better team than we are now.
The Patriots spent a lot of time in offensive formations that included three wide receivers. In the past, the two-tight end offense has been the preference, but the precedent could be changing in New England with an abundance of wide receivers that have different skill sets.
Good notes from Frenz, nice to start seeing the reports pour in. We’re just two weeks away from the first preseason game. Wow, it’s all happening…

Looks like practice jersey numbers have been switched over to the game jersey font. Yes, I notice things like this.

And we’re off! It’s an exciting time of year as the Pats are back at it in Foxboro and all is right with the world.
Fade passes in end zone a big part of today’s practice. WR Kenbrell Thompkins with one of the best plays of practice to snare one.

#Patriots DT Vince Wilfork: “So far, so good” with regard to his Achilles. He practiced fully today.

Gronk practiced with a black brace on his left arm an one on his right knee.

Gronk was limited today. Practiced for an hour and 15 minutes before observing. No 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 drills for him.

Jimmy Garoppolo’s fade touch was ballyhooed in pre draft process an he’s been true to that in offseason. Just laid a perfect RZ fade to KT
