Tom Curran's Patriots Talk Podcast.

Hello, New England Patriots fans and people who like football in general.

Quite a day down at Gillette Stadium today.

The Patriots and the Manders got after it and a joint practice.

And when I say got after it, I mean got after it.

There was one squabble and one fracas, which caused much Ballyhoo.

Phil Perry would join us in a minute.

But before we get to Phil, let's hear from Drake may about this fracas your coach is in a pile

your coach gets a cut on his right yeah what's that say about him um no I think like I said

that's the that's what we're trying to build I think and it starts with the coach starts

the head coach the intensity bringing it every day you know taking no crap you, we're out there on the field. But also it comes to a time where with our guys offensively, and getting over there and getting some tussles and kind of have some penalties and extra after the whistle can get us in trouble. But for mentality, I like it. I think that's what you want. I mean, I almost got in there, but I think maybe another day, maybe, so we'll see.

What happened? Have any idea of what started? It seems like Trinian Menison might have been a couch? Yeah, I think Pass Pro, I think it's physical. It's a physical game. You know, it's a man's game, and things happen out there. I'm not sure if anything on this field happened, but I think there's a time where obviously don't want to come out here and

fight and get in trouble but same time you won't you don't want to back down from nobody so

I'm sure you know coach will get the mind get kind of preach we can't have that but at the same

time kind of in the back of our minds so that's kind of how we want to play the intensity and

kind of when the whistle's going play hard on, and the whistle stops, you know, get off and get away. All right, for people out there looking for symbolic value in this fight, they got it, you know, they're intense, they're going after it, they're feisty, they're all about it, they're ready to throw at any hand, you know, they're not going to back down from anybody. Here's somebody else who won't back down from anybody. It's Phil Perry, one of the biggest most sculpted NFL writers really on the indie beat in America right now. He's really taking terrific care of himself. And Phil, you know, I think the people are going to be giddy about the ocean. Well, the fracas was a video of zo we just hopped up you know like

fights happen in training camp sometimes i think they're a little bit of canned laughter okay it's

just arranged and then but uh we wouldn't know anything about that on this podcast can't laughter

good point i don't think jeremy's back there right now to hit the can

laughter noise. But symbolic value of the fight, what's that to tell you? They're ready to go.

They're ready to get after it. They're ready to grab some. Hold on now. Hold on now.

Steal some souls. Hold on now. How often you get a head coach that finds himself in the middle of the
