Let’s check out all of the Tweets of Note from day 2 of media availability at minicamp.
Where the media team has been positioned so far this offseason, coverage of the defense has been sketchy apart from scrimmage parts of the session, and by the sounds of things, it was another strong day for the defense.
Josh Uche’s name has come up a few times this spring, here’s hoping he has a big second-year jump, he could get some great opportunities this season.
Nope. Don’t like that.
It was a relief to see Smith at practice, albeit he wasn’t involved today as normal, his appearance nods towards the hamstring issue from yesterday not being all that serious, let’s hope he’s back catching balls tomorrow.
Someone who’s gone slightly under the radar this spring is Devin Asiasi. The second-year TE had a quiet rookie season, showing a few sparks at the very end of his first year, but today Evan Lazar noted that hew had a good session and that the coaches were taking notice.
With a congested TE group now following free agency, both he and Dalton Keene have to bring it in camp to fight for playing time this season.
One of my favorite Patriots currently on the roster is Kyle Dugger. The second-year safety has received high praise from his teammates in recent weeks, and he’s putting in performances to back it up. He has the ability to fill the void left by Patrick Chung, and I can’t wait to see how he progresses towards Week 1 of the season.
No changes in those missing from yesterday, and the list will probably be the same tomorrow, unless one of the others (excluding Gilmore) attends the final session before the spring break.
A big increase in reps today for Jones and another bad day for Cam. Jeff Howe notes that he thinks Jones has a chance to win the starting job this summer, an indication of his development so far this spring, and potentially how bad Cam has looked at practice.
