A few quick notes on Monday PM practice 08.10.09 at 5:34 pm ET
By Christopher Price

FOXBOROUGH — Hey all … a few quick notes on the Monday afternoon practice, which is just wrapping up down here at Gillette Stadium.

•Hot again. Really hot. Probably the hottest day of camp so far. Temps again in the 90s.

•The players were in pads again — the 15th time in the 20 practices they’ve been in pads this camp. My math could be off, but I believe it’s also the ninth day of double sessions.

•By our count, the following players were not in attendance: wide receiver Brandon Tate, cornerback Shawn Springs, linebacker Paris Lenon, linebacker Tyrone McKenzie, linebacker Tedy Bruschi, offensive lineman Dan Connolly, offensive lineman Mark LeVoir, offensive lineman George Bussey, nose tackle Vince Wilfork, wide receiver Randy Moss, wide receiver Wes Welker, tight end Benjamin Watson, defensive lineman Richard Seymour, defensive lineman Ty Warren, defensive lineman Mike Wright.

•In a drill involving running backs and tight ends running passing routes while being guarded by linebackers in pass coverage, tight end Chris Baker did a fine job getting separation from linebacker Adalius Thomas, while running back Fred Taylor simply outran linebacker Vinny Ciurciu on his turn. Alex Smith also did a nice job getting free on one pass play.

•Later in practice, quarterback Tom Brady spent extensive time working with wide receivers Joey Galloway and Greg Lewis on red zone passing, and could be heard coaching both receivers through the drill. At the end, Brady was clearly excited about the result, seeking them both out for congratulations. (The quarterback pretty much kept up a constant, good-natured stream of chatter all afternoon, barking at the defense on several occasions.)

•In 7-on-7 drills, tight end Tyson DeVree made a nice catch on a pass from quarterback Brian Hoyer.

    Sounds like Brady’s working in the chemistry with Lewis and Galloway pretty fast – contrast that with Brady haranguing Chad Jackson (they dumped Reche Caldwell for idiot Jackson?!?) throughout last year’s camp. Also sounds like Baker is fitting in right away.

    From every report I hear, sounds like Brady is just flat out jacked up for this season. I can’t wait for this season to start. On enthusiasm alone they might go 14-2.

    Chris,

    He is–hasn’t missed a single practice so far. He’s always in the middle of it, woofing at the defense and just loving the back and forth between the two sides. He’s clearly loving having the chance to be back at practice and working with his teammates.
