The Patriots have concluded their morning workout, Bill Belichick has spoken and the Gillette Stadium workers are setting up for a visit from Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band. A busy day in Foxboro.
The practice was highlighted by some rookie hazing where a small pool of water was created and the rookies were let loose on a Slip-N-Slide like area. Just for good measure, Tedy Bruschi stood by with a hose to wet down whoever was escaping.
In a pass protection drill, RB LaMont Jordan ran over veteran Larry Izzo but had a tougher time with rookie Gary Guyton.
Rookie Jerod Mayo obviously doesn't know that Chris Hansen is the only punter in camp. On a punt return, Mayo flattened Hansen, drawing oohs and aahs from the crowd.
Also, Tom Brady and center Russ Hochstein bumbled a snap and were sent on a lap around the field for their miscue.
The Pats ended the morning workout with a heavy dose of goal line and red zone plays. Brady missed two open receivers and turned away in disgust after both passes.
The patriots will be back on the field this afternoon at 4 p.m.
