Wednesday afternoon notes
Written by Paul Perillo on August 5, 2009 – 5:43 pm -The Patriots completed their first full week of camp with a walkthrough Wednesday afternoon, marking just the third time in 14 practices the team hasn’t been in full pads. Instead the players donned T-shirts and shorts with most adding red Patriots hats to their attire.
-There were several notable players who have been out of action on the field including Richard Seymour, Shawn Crable, Ty Warren, Benjamin Watson, Ryan O’Callaghan and rookie Rich Ohrnberger.
-The team spent some time working on various onside kicks before practice, going through conventional kicks as well as longer ones kicked behind the front lines ahead of the deep returners.
-There weren’t many other notable events during the 90-minute workout as the team went through various formations and personnel groups on offense and defense.
-As a side update from the morning practice we offer you the following: Word on the street would indicate the controversial final play that resulted in a Randy Moss touchdown was actually a sack, which was the reason why the offense ran the lap and not the defense.
-Since there wasn’t much more to report, we’ll keep it short and return tomorrow with a recap of the 9:30 a.m. practice.

Well that’s obviously encouraging that some of those players, in particular Crable and Seymour were finally out there for the walk through.

Is the presence of PUP players at a walkthrough any indication that they are closer to practicing?

No. I wouldn’t read anything into it.

If anyone of Importance sees this. I am not one to advocate paying a player more money. But It just isn’t right to have a player like Wilfork to be only making an 800,000 base salary. The Pats thus far have gotten a great deal for the years he has been here. Get the man some more money before the first game of the season. This is just the opinion of a long time Pats fan.
