Patriots training camp practice news thread updated daily by all

Yikes! If that's white cedar, that stack there might be worth more than what the Jets offered Ellis for 2011.

Okay, here are some photos from last Monday's training camp:

BB just chillin':

Light chatting with Mankins and Koppen:

Wilfork destroying a fellow D-linesman. Just tore right through whoever came against him. Phenomenal to see:

Brady aiming for Stalkin' Midgar:

Reloadin'

"Brady! I'm open! I'M OPEN!!!"

"I got it!"

Actually, I think that this was the same day that Gronk left the field a bit nicked up:

Oh, and for Leon Powe:

Here are some photos from yesterday. My wife (not "wide") and I went down for an hour or so, before the skies opened up again. Odd... both days I went down, the practice started off ridiculously hot, and then downpours came:

Can't tell who it was who got the shower, but the reaction was pretty amusing among the O-linemen:

Here's the shower (on the right):

Shaking it off like a dog:

For the ladies: Chad with his gold cleats:

Wilfork with Haynesworth to the right (92):

"Child, please."

This was a drill that focused on run-blocking progressions. Chad then moved to block:

Gronk's a beast even without pads:

Yes, Solder really is that huge:

Kevin Faulk on the field, the consummate team player:

Ghost taking a knee:

Great pics, thanks man!

Wilfork makes AH look like a bulimic supermodel.
Gronk looks like he has pads on even when he doesn't.

Good article on AH & his background and opinions from different coaches he's had:

Morris (#34) is barely an inch taller than I am (and about 50 lbs heavier). And he looks tiny next to Solder.

Excuse me. That would be MISTER Solder, SIR!

Love these shots TFS!

Here are some more:

Here's the "GQ" shot:

Hoyer and Brady are clearly not on the same page :

Liked this drill, with the receivers cutting around the blocking pads and catching the ball immediately. Here's Price:

Brady throwing on the run (jog) :

Mallett and Hoyer taking notes:

Gerrard Warren:

This drill was also part of the run-blocking drill, with Brady picking out the MIKE, etc.

Guys just chillin':

This was a common theme throughout camp, Brady talking to O'Brien. (At least, I THINK that's O'Brien).

Great shots. Thanks! This will be last we see of them before BB puts them all in the witness protection program.

Great shots, PF09. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Gronk is really a superhero. Amazing.

The striations in that running photo are amazing. BEAST.

The shower photo above from PF09 is Big-O, who reportedly is a locker room humor guru.

Thanks to everyone who shared their Training Camp experiences with the less fortunate.

Really outstanding pics. You must have one hell of a zoom lens to get that close.

I thought the same thing about Gronk the striations in his leg muscles in the shot with him running. The kid is a freak of nature.

Great pictures, PF09. Thanks for sharing.

For those outside NE, the 8pm Saturday night game vs the LIONS is nationally televised. No streams needed!

HELL YEAH..thanks Chevs. We are in the middle of monsoon season and the feeds go off and on a lot with the storms. What network do you know?

I watched a bit of the Detroit game this past week and that offense is going to be a nice test for NE's new defense.

The Lions, I think, are the most improved team in the league. Young guys have another year of experience, Suh is a beast and Stafford is doing well. They're not patsies any more.
