Mrs. B somehow knew that today’s practice would only include the 3^rd stringers. She decided that instead of making it down to camp for what seemed like a very short practice, she would take some time to rest like our first stringers so she would be at full strength for this afternoon’s practice. Instead she sent her little spy to report from the Dana Farber Field House. Here are the highlights:

- None of the starters even appeared for the practice.

- Players were in full pads and had full contact drills, but the focus for this practice was solely 11 on 11 game type situations.

- Bill Belichick (aka his Hoodiness) was in his trademark sweatshirt and kept trying to speed the practice up to simulate game time situations.

- Our third string quarterback Matt Gutierrez took all the snaps,

- Brandon Meriweather did practice, along with new CB Dante Wesley

- Bam Childress simulated being a running back, fumbling his first handoff, which also showed that the backup defensive line really didn’t have a nose for the ball, because Bam was able to recover his own fumble.

- Bam did have many impressive catches, as well as #2 CJ Jones.

- #42 Quinton Smith also carried the football, and from what I saw today come roster cutdown date he’ll be one of the first cuts.

- Kelvin Kight made an impressive grab in traffic, as well as a nice grab in the endzone, a long pass from the 40 yard line by Matt Gutierrez, who in a real game would have been sacked before the throw.

- Matt Guiterrez threw an interception off the hands of #2 and intercepted by Willie Andrews. This was Matt’s only interception of the practice.
