The Patriots continued their non-padded work for the fourth straight day and at times the tempo appeared to be a bit lower than it was in the first three practices. There were periods of success on both sides but overall the intensity was lacking and the execution, especially on offense, wasn't at its best.
With Brian Hoyer once again missing the practice, it gave Bailey Zappe another opportunity to get loads of reps working behind Mac Jones. The rookie continues to suffer through some highs and lows, but given his lack of experience the extended looks he's received have been a huge positive for the fourth-round pick.
