The New England Patriots held their most intense practice of the summer on Sunday, as the team was in full pads for the second day in a row. While the physicality and the return of edge defender Michael Bennett were the biggest stories of the day, they were far from the only ones worth taking a closer look at. Let’s therefore clean out the notebook to see what also was noteworthy about the two-hour session.
After a mostly forgettable Saturday during which he went only 2-for-8 in team portions, Tom Brady and the Patriots’ entire passing game looked much more in sync yesterday: the future Hall of Famer completed 10 of 13 pass attempts during 11-on-11s and all four of his throws during 7-on-7 work.
