Their numbers are pretty awful vs the starters.Through five practices, Newton is 57 of 92 (62.0 percent) with three interceptions in team drills. He is 23 of 48 (47.9 percent) with an interception in 11-on-11s against the starting defense. As noted Saturday, Newton has exclusively worked with the starting offense during those higher-intensity reps.
Jones is 58 of 95 overall (61.1 percent), including 17 of 40 (42.5 percent) in 11-on-11s against the starting defense. However, Jones has also worked with a mixture of starters and backups – particularly on the offensive line – during those periods.
Both quarterbacks have clearly cleaned up against the scout team defense. Very curious to see if there will be a point in camp when there’s an increased emphasis for the starting offense to work against the starting defense. That’d be a better chance to assess the quarterbacks as they jockey for position on the depth chart. Jeff Howe
BB gives much more info about the QB competition to Jim Miller of NFL's Moving the Chains on SiriusXM than he does to local media.

Yes.The Bears qb Jim Miller?
Yes.Is his shoulder better though?
Channel 88 is the NFL channel on Sirius. They'll be talking about the Patriots this afternoon
Multi-tasked while they were on. I don't remember them giving "grades" for O or D. Just units as you said above. Suspect of the QB situation. Liked RB's, TE's, O-Line (but not deep)...Kirwan and Miller raved about our LBs, DBs and DEs but are a little suspect about the DTs but agreed they'd be better than last year. Top 5 units.
I didn't hear what they said about our O. Anybody hear?
iirc he was a pats backup for a minuteThe Bears qb Jim Miller?
Have we had very little fans at our practices?

Also work days too. I would think it will pick up as we get closer to the first preseason game. I really wish it was this week. I am down the Cape and could have watched all of it.I heard Saturday was overflowing and they had to open up the gates of the stadium. But 6am on a Tuesday will be slower...
:crossedfingers:Yes.
