What's happening, Pat's people and Foxborough friends, your old pal, Nick Fitsy Stevens,

coming to you with the latest and always greatest edition of Six Rings and Football Things.

Brought to you by our friends at WEEI Odyssey and 2400 sports.

This right here will be a bit of a quick rings, if you will, one of our shorter podcasts,

as we're doing a little bit of a

mini-camp confidential or mini-camp preview as Patriots mini-camp 2025 is set to open Monday, June 9th,

This is, of course, mandatory attendance for the players.

It's not fanatory, as we like to say here on six rings.

Fanditory attendance begins as Mike Reese estimated in his Sunday notes

around July 24th, 25th, with the opening of proper training camp, 2025.

This is a chance to get three more days of the non-contact action in to continue with

the playbook install, familiarizing the players with each other, getting more reps for the

offense and defense.

The defense continues to be ahead by all accounts and reports of the offense,

but that makes complete sense given the veteran presence and, of course,

the money spent on defense in free agency.

Also, you're not, I mean, you are putting in a new defense with Terrell Jennings.

Of course, uh, excuse me, Terrell Williams.
