00:00what's up alex hey guys i'm just warning you we're dealing with that post-practice wind again so
00:04if you hear that that's what that is we'll make it stop alex yeah i'll try i'll throw my hands up
00:10put a piece of paper in front of the microphone and use it as a windscreen please right or exactly
00:14turn opposite the wind and block it with your back yeah or your ample noggin okay uh let's start
00:21with who looked good today uh drake made really efficient day for him uh ball really didn't hit
00:27the ground 14 of 15 started 10 of 10 and it was a lot of shorter stuff but there was a focus as
00:32andrew callahan reported this was a first down day they were working on their first down package and
00:37in josh mcdaniel's offense we know it's so important to stay on schedule and stay ahead of the chains
00:42and i think one thing i'm looking for for drake may in year two we know he has this big arm and he can
00:47extend place and create downfield can he be decisive without being rushed and erratic right can he get
00:54rid of the ball quickly when he needs to get rid of the ball quickly and still make the right decision
00:58and that's what he did today uh again hitting short stuff over the middle did hit some checkdowns
01:03just keeping the offense on schedule which to me is something you're watching for big time this year
01:08that relates to cutting down on the turnovers it's not all of it but if he can do that it's
01:13going to help him cut down on the turnovers speaking of short stuff alex how did the offensive
01:17line look and how did will campbell look in particular so it was kind of the same as yesterday
01:23the defensive line won the day but to me it looks the same as it looks in most non-padded practices
01:28the defense is going to be ahead of the offense if we're going to take anything performance away
01:32from the offensive line today jared wilson who continued to work in at center he had a botched
01:37snap with drake may under center that's pretty much as far as i'll go in terms of the performance
01:41stuff on the offensive line until the pads come on alex i uh can't say so many gushing tweets today
01:46about rookie wide receiver kyle williams so what happened was it a step back for the uh the steal of the
01:51draft yeah quieter day for him he actually did have a drop uh on a on a short hitch route that
01:56was kind of the one time i noticed him more involved stefan diggs pop douglas you didn't
02:01see him flashing as much today as he did yesterday i had stepped back would be would be fair okay who
02:06else did not look good i asked you by saying who looked good you said drake may who did not and if
02:10it's kyle williams is going to be your answer give me someone else oh kyle williams had the drop i i you
02:15guys might say this is a cop-out but i think it's true it's jalen polk the fact that he's not on the
02:19field at this point and in mike reed's report i think was minor muscle tightness or minor muscle
02:24soreness something like that he's truly on the bubble like i i don't think just because he was
02:28a second round pick last year there's a spot waiting for him on this team it's a very crowded
02:32wide receiver room and there are other guys out here making plays kendrick born has had two solid
02:36days kashaun booty's been getting open these are the guys he's competing with and he's not on the field
02:41to to kind of make his case so for a guy that that i think needs some urgency to make the roster
02:47it is early but i think he needs all the reps he can get it is potentially costly that he's not on
02:52the field right now especially knowing that you know the off-season shoulder surgery he passed his
02:56physical and he was cleared on that it's another issue that's holding him out okay he's done it's
03:01a bust could see it halfway through last year not gonna happen i thought he was gonna get a shot but
03:07but i am interested also in booty since you brought him up uh alex like correct me if i'm wrong i thought i
03:13read yesterday that didn't begin with him and digs weren't he the first two first two guys at you
03:19know as quote unquote wide receiver one wide receiver two yesterday so they're putting a lot
03:24of stock in booty it feels like yeah he's been involved they're kind of rotating with that top
03:28group digs pop booty born williams like those guys are all kind of mixing and matching but he's
03:35right like those feel like the top of the depth chart those five guys so he's right there in the mix
03:41for that absolutely okay what's the offensive line mix right now so the spots that are kind of
03:46settled are will campbell uh at left tackle mike on whenu at right guard mostly morgan rose at right
03:52tackle i know you talked about this yesterday he rotated out a little bit with demontre jacobs
03:56where they're really it feels like there's a building competition is at left guard and center so
04:00yesterday it was jared wilson working in at center with garrett bradbury cole strange kind of was settled
04:07at left guard where we thought there'd be the competition today wilson worked at both spots and
04:11sometimes it was strange coming off the field and sometimes it was bradbury so i wonder if they view
04:16wilson really as one of their top five linemen in the competition isn't as much him winning a spot as
04:22it is okay we know we want to start this kid who's the other guy that we're going to keep in or who's
04:28the guy we can afford to take out is it cole strange at left guard or is it garrett bradbury at center
04:32alex barth join us from 985 thesportshub.com down at gillette uh tell me how vrabel has been on the
04:38field with the offense i'm specifically interested in and i asked um bedard this yesterday i'm gonna
04:45ask everybody i guess because it it does interest me i think it's important how close to drake may
04:51is mike vrabel on a minute-by-minute basis during these practices and is he involved with the offense
04:55vrabel i'm talking about so what i've noticed they do the way they kind of structure the practice when
05:00they go into 11 on 11 there's a walkthrough period it's the offense against not air but other
05:04offensive players just kind of giving a landmark then they do sort of a walkthrough pace against
05:09the defense and then it's full speed when and the defense does the same thing on the other side
05:13when they're in that early walkthrough vrabel's with the offense not with the defense and he kind
05:17of stays over there and he's essentially in that middle linebacker spot so he's seeing the whole thing
05:22and he's eye to eye with drake may watching drake may read what would be the defense then he's kind of
05:27back behind the offense for those other two periods you see him and pop in you know drake
05:31may spending a lot of time with josh mcdaniels vrabel's been there for a little bit of it but
05:35i do think it's interesting that in that walkthrough period which is really when they're installing it
05:39right how do you want it run not how are you running it how do you want it run vrabel's watching drake
05:45may set everything up and run it when they're installing it why are you guys laughing in here the wind
05:51yeah the wind go ahead just no he looks like he's ready he and toto are ready to fly out of kansas
05:56here any minute now he's off the ground through rain through sleet through snow barth has his
06:03patriots takes ready to go before you get blown away uh barthy what are we missing what should
06:07we be talking about that we haven't asked you about uh i'd say the special team stuff i think
06:11you're gonna kick me off the air if i say that i might travion henderson was a lot more involved
06:16today and even without the run stuff like they're building him up this was something i was wondering
06:21remember they used to redshirt every rookie running back they'd get yeah and so i wondered
06:25with mcdaniel's being back if that was the case for henderson again it's just two days but
06:29i think his role is going to be pretty significant i think like he looks involved through two days
06:34and they need it because they need speed and explosiveness on that offense outside of pop
06:38douglas it's not a fast group you add travion henderson to the mix he's a big boost in that regard so
06:44i like how much i've seen of him early okay alex thanks so much for taking the time we appreciate it kid
06:51good
