Patriots training camp Defense dominates

FOXBOROUGH, Ma s. -- The were back on the field Thursday for Day 2 of training camp. This se sion included some special teams reps to go along with some more red zone work, which was the most competitive period of the day.As we noted in our on Wednesday, it's important to highlight that pads have yet to be put on, so there is a ceiling for how physical and competitive these practices can get at this juncture. That said, there was plenty to sink our teeth into as New Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey England builds toward the 2022 regular season. Below, you'll find the notable highlights from Day 2 of Pats camp. NE CB #2 The most competitive se sion of Day 2 came at the very end of practice. There, the Patriots were running 11-on-11 red zone drills and blasted music through the speakers the entire time to simulate a hectic environment where communication could be difficult during the year. This portion of practice was almost Alec Ogletree Jersey entirely dominated by the defense, as it did not allow a touchdown or even a reception on the first 10 attempts.Cornerback had a nice pa s breakup during this run on wideout and rookie also had some tight coverage on as tried to hit him in the back right corner of the end zone. "The offense kind of got us a little bit yesterday and we got them today," said Mills.However, on the final play of this period, Jones was able to connect with tight end for a touchdown. Because of that, the defense got the raw deal of having to do pushups to wrap up the day. NE DT #92 Following Day 1 of camp, it was reported that the Patriots and defensive tackle agreed to a two-year, $20.8 million extension. When asked about the deal on Thursday before the start of practice, Belichick heaped praise on Godchaux. "He's one of the best defensive linemen in the league," said the head coach. "Glad we were able to work that out with Davon and his agent Drew Rosenhaus."The 27-year-old signed with the Patriots last offseason after beginning his career as a fifth-round draft choice of the in 2017 out of LSU. Godchaux started in 16 of his 17 games played during the 2021 regular season and totaled 65 tackles, five quarterback hits, and a sack. NE WR #1 TAR73REC40REC YDs515REC TD2FL0 DeVante Parker was one of the big winners coming out of Day 1 and he followed that strong debut up with another impre Jabrill Peppers Jersey sive practice. The veteran receiver made arguably the catch of the day earlier in the se sion. During some red zone drills, Parker hauled in a back-shoulder fade from Mac Jones that came in a bit low near the receiver's knees. Parker was able to twist away from cornerback Jalen Mills and reach out to make the catch right in front of the training camp crowd, which popped at the sight of that grab. Mills was wearing mitts during that Carl Banks Jersey catch as a technique to avoid tugging on his receiver, but he was draped over Parker, which made the catch that much more impre sive. After two days, Parker's stock is certainly on the upswing. NE SAF #24 Again, it's early in camp and the pads haven't been put on yet, but 2021 sixth-round safety Joshuah Bledsoe has put together a solid start over the first two days. He had roughly three pa s breakups on Thursday, which builds on the two PBUs he registered on Day 1. NE TE #85 TAR75REC50REC YDs603REC TD9FL0 Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith had their moments on Day 2. During 7-on-7s, Mac Jones connected with Henry on an impre sive touchdown reception over starting safety . Jones lofted what was e sentially a 50-50 ball to Henry and he was able to snatch it in the air over Dugger in tight coverage. Henry also had the lone reception on the more competitive 11-on-11 drills at the end of practice, which went for a touchdown.Meanwhile, Smith -- who signed a four-year, $50 million deal with New England last offseason -- did have a nice leaping catch over Joshuah Bledsoe during those 7-on-7s drills from rookie quarterback . However, there was some dispute as to whether or not the tight end would've been flagged for a false start on the play. Smith is looking to rebound after a 2021 campaign where he logged just Will Hernandez Jersey 294 yards receiving. Day 2 of is in the books. Defense won the day during competitive 11-on-11s (with noised piped in): Mac Jones: 1-7, TD (Hunter Henry)Bailey Zappe: 0-4 Tyler Sullivan (@TylerSully) Mac Jones was sharp to begin the second day of camp and completed all six of his attempts during a 7-on-7 se sion that was probably moving at a tick over half-speed. Once the B.J. Goodson Jersey competition ramped up during the final 11-on-11 red zone drills, the second-year quarterback struggled and mi sed on his first six attempts before hitting Henry on the final pa s of practice and forcing the defense to do pushups. NE DE #91 Defensive lineman was the notable player absent from Day 2. The 28-year-old is entering his sixth season in the league and is in the midst of a four-year, $22 million deal he inked with the club last offseason. Other than wise, it was the status quo in terms of attendance as the only other absent players are already on PUP or the NFI list (center , safety , guard , offensive tackle, Andrew Stuber, punter , cornerback , running back and defensive back ).Rookie running back Pierre Strong remained limited for the second day in a row.
