Pads come on and the hitting gets real on Saturday morning
The Patriots first padded practice session is in the books. The team had a spirited if slightly slower paced workout on Saturday morning under sunny skies.
The intensity ratcheted up a notch and for the first time we were able to see the “big heavies”, the offensive and defensive linemen take part in 1-on-1 drills, as well as full 11-on-11 scenarios, short-yardage running game action, and goal line.
The bad news is the injuries are already beginning.
