Not a good night for Cassel

Hey all --

The Patriots have wrapped up their evening session, held in full pads inside Gillette Stadium for season ticket holders and Foxboro residents.

The biggest thing we came away with: it was not Matt Cassel's night. The backup QB was picked off twice in 11-on-11 work -- once by Adalius Thomas on a pass intended for Wes Welker, and another time by rookie Brandon Meriweather. It was Meriweather's first interception of camp.

There was quite a bit of 11-on-11 work, as well as some 9-on-7 work. It appeared offensive lineman Billy Yates was injured during 9-on-7 work; he was able to walk off the field on his own power.

At the close, the players did about six sprints, which is the most we can recall seeing them run this camp.
