Evening update

The evening practice ended on a high note for the players. Defensive lineman Vince Wilfork, standing in the end zone with a football already cradled in his left arm, caught a punt from Josh Miller in his right hand. Wilfork had to step backwards and to his right to make the catch, which set off a frenzy among his teammates. The grab meant they had the rest of the night off -- no running, and no more meetings for the day.

Tom Brady did take part in the session, connecting with Reche Caldwell for a couple of open-field throws but also overthrowing both Caldwell and Troy Brown. The Pats did goal-line situations in the final minutes, and in the first scenario -- first and goal at the 2, one minute to go, no timeouts left -- Brady connected with tight end Walter Rasby on fourth down for the TD. In the second -- third and goal at the five, seven seconds left, no timeouts -- the most of the line pulled left and the defense followed, leaving Brown open for the touchdown on the left side.

The players were in pads and shorts.

I made a mistake earlier, calling Rosey Colvin an inside linebacker. He's on the outside. I apologize :)

Have a good night
