The joint practices at TCO Performance Center were behind. More advanced at US Bank Stadium.
The Patriots of New England survived the Vikings du Minnesota by a score of 20-12 on Saturday, improving at 2-0 in pre-season under the head coach Mike Vrabel.
Here is a first glance at the morning at 1 p.m. and and.
Settle in the quarter
While the classmate of the NFL draft in 2024, JJ McCarthy, sat for the Vikings, Drake Maye remained for two records for the Patriots. A week withdrawn from the trial, the second year starter was almost intercepted on a high and tilting jet intended for the receiver of machines at Demario Douglas. He was followed by a penalty for game delay.
The overall choice n ° 3 of last year finished 4 out of 7 for 46 yards, led by a long from 20 to a Wideout veteran and his compatriot of Caroline du Nord Tar Heel Mack Hollins. They have connected three times, especially outside the pocket at the third bottom and under the constraint. It was a step forward to settle.
At 4:10 a.m. in the first quarter, it was time for the Joshua Dobbs backup quarter. The old acquisition of the Vikings trade has completed its first three throws, but the fourth was missed under pressure on the fourth and 5 at the rear of the goal area. The following possession gave way to a clearance of clearance after a missed along the key. However, a training of 13 games and 88 yards was set up in the intermission. He presented four conversions in the air in third row. In total, Dobbs succeeded 11 out of 16 for 106 yards and a touchdown in what was a much more uniform outing than his. The not recovered recruit Ben Wooldridge took over the offensive group with 8:44 to do in the third quarter and closed it with a line 7 of 13 for 55 yards.
Breaking tackles and 53, Chism leads the receivers again
A week withdrawn from the management of New England in targets, receptions, reception of yards and the search for the goal area, EFTON CHISM III wanted more. He pulled a mask mask mask penalty and obtained the six passes sent for 71 yards and a touchdown at halftime, including a long of 33.
Four Vikings defenders could not reduce the 5 -foot and 198 pound slot. Five defenders of the Vikings could not either, because the ball extended on the plane to make it 14-0. A long line of transactions can be imminent for patriots. A free -drained free agent in eastern Washington will not be among them. Colleague recruited Kyle Williams also made a strong Saturday. The overall choice n ° 69 of the state of Washington caught its first three looks for 24 yards, including on consecutive games in tight windows. However, after having mounted to move the channels in third row, a Pad striker by the second Austin Keys sent him to the blue medical tent and the changing rooms.
No member of the Wideout room in New England has overshadowed the seven targets of Javon Baker. Only one completion was in the cards for the 2024 recovery choice, which had a route back in third and 7 in the last minutes.
Henderson revisits the goal area in a hurry
The percentage of Treveyon Henderson slugging continues to increase. After transforming his first NFL touch into a 100 yards home run when opening the pre-season, he made an early return to the goal area on Saturday. The recruit which runs back from the Ohio State transformed a third and 10 draw into a first try before Minnesota saw it. With Burst and Balance, he quickly crossed the left side for a touch on the third and 4 behind Jack Westover & Co.
The all-use veteran, Antonio Gibson, was a New England starter, while August re-signer Jamycal Hasty led the rear field with 52 melee yards over a dozen keys.
The depth painting took place without rhamondre Stevenson and Terrell Jennings. The recent attrition sent Lan Larison and Derricc Prince to the injured reserve.
The defensive coordinator of Vikings, Brian Flores, did a difficult test in Eagan. In Minneapolis, the Patriots’ offensive line seemed to get out of it.
Will Campbell continued to open the way for the ground match on the left tackle on a touchdown of training I. Starting next to the overall choice n ° 4 of LSU, it was Ben Brown at the left guard, the former Viking Garrett Bradbury in the center and Mike Onwenu in the right guard. And with the veterinarian of 166 games, Morgan Moses resting, the seventh round Marcus Bryant out of the Missouri again obtained the sign of the head in the right tackle and later went to the Blindeside.
However, Jared Wilson, who was part of the beginners’ trio of the line the previous week, entered the initial change in the quarter. The Bulldog of Georgia, taken in April in the third round, entered the left guard while Brown was heading towards the center. It was the movement while Cole Strange registered at the right guard and Vederian Lowe did it during the right tackle. Other substitutions were on the horizon. The same goes for quarter-arre. Although at the end of the exhibition, Minnesota had been kept outside the bag column.
Jennings continues three bags off the edge after half-time
From the quarter-Arrière for the Vikings, Sam Howell was quickly met by Heat. This heat has included K’lavon Chaisson chasing it from the pocket to set up an wandering throw as well as an interception in the middle of the first quarter.
But history was what followed the edges after half-time.
On a track to the rear field, Anfernee Jennings swept the shoestrings from the quarter recruit Max Brosmer for a loss of 14. He quickly became fourth and 35 while the veteran outside secondary stored his second bag in as many shots. There would be a third bag on the deck in the final setting. Perhaps not the ideal solution for the Patriots 2025 program, Jennings looked like a footballer sounds that contributed and again. He looked at 37 departures in a mandate that should not end on the deadline of 53 men.
From Austin to Polk via Dugger in secondary
It would be the recruit Craig Woodson and Jaylinn Hawkins starting with the safety of the patriots on Saturday. It would be Carlton Davis III and Marcus Jones at the corner. And Alex Austin, who recruited an interception in the first setting, then provided man’s coverage in fourth position in the slit, was more than present for secondary.
The same goes for Jordan Polk. After an interception during its beginnings in the NFL, a corner not drafted by the East Texas A&M and the state of Texas obtained its first hunting rifle bag in the third quarter. He also prevented a touch on broken content, putting the pedal on the ground and finding a return to kick off 81 yards. A defensive rebound in the red zone made it a goal in the field instead.
But the fall in the table of safety depth led to an in charge of Kyle Dugger. Downhill’s striker, 29, had signed a $ 58 million contract over four years in the spring of 2024 before being slowed down by a large annoyance sprain which led to an off -season surgical intervention. He recorded a handful of plated while playing the second quarter throughout the final. An interception and a touchback to bring the 20-12 game to a close point of view.
A return of clearance of 37 yards by Marcus Jones and a return to kick off 59 yards by Jeremiah Webb have almost traveled for the special teams of the patriots. Things have also proven to be eventful in the Kicker department.
After crossing the amounts of the Gillette stadium, titled by a basket of 57 yards, it turned out to be another 57 yards which was hung on the US Bank Stadium.
It was out of the foot of Andres Borregales this time. The investment project went 1 out of the 2 on the goals on the field, which is right for 51 and the two additional points of New England. Futures signing John Parker Romo converted his only goal on the field at 28 meters. The two managed the kick -off tasks. The latter was reported as such to launch one of the landing area.
