DJ put 3 Patriots on the ground.

On the completion to TJ, sure good to see Darrisaw out there in action.

Diggs and Felton are both Maryland grads.

Yep, realized that as soon as I posted it. McCardell too. He actually coached Diggs at Maryland.

Sounds like the Vikings defense didn't have a very good day. Hopefully they will pick it up tomorrow.

what are you seeing or hearing?

I would wager our D is being rather vanilla. No sense putting much on tape as the practices are likely filmed by both teams.

Maye-to-Diggs was nearly automatic on Wednesday, and the quarterback also had big throws to Mack Hollins (a 50-yard touchdown), Kayshon Boutte, and Pop Douglas. Diggs and Douglas both beat Minnesota top corner Byron Murphy on their highlight catches.

Maye also checked down to TreVeyon Henderson on one play, and the explosive back turned the 10-yard reception into a 70-yard touchdown for the New England offense.

"It's hard to catch him when he's in the open field," Maye said of Henderson after practice.

Unofficially, Maye was 13-for-21 with two touchdowns and no picks. But the offense had its issues, which led to a mixed day overall for the unit.

Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores sent a lot of different pressure looks at the Patriots O-line, and Maye found himself dealing with the Minnesota pass rush on a number of drop backs. He would have been sacked five or six times in the session, and the line was also flagged for two holds.

Check the balanced set on our rookie LG against no slouch Milton Williams.

This just in: Jordan Addison is really good.

In one instance, the No. 3 overall pick spun a pass off his backfoot to Diggs – except Cashman and Allen were on him, inciting calls for a sack from the Vikings sideline. Shortly after that, Maye was "sacked" again, with pressure applied from numerous angles and multiple guys, including second-year pro Dallas Turner.

I stand corrected. The article I saw earlier and can't seem to find now, talked about all the touchdowns the Pats scored but didn't say anything about the sacks Flores D had. I did read Murphy was beat for 2 TD's though.
From a new article, "Maye finished 16-of-25 in full-team drills. He was also sacked six times by a talented Vikings defensive front."
I watched some of Mackey and Judd but they only watched the offense today.
