Foxborough —\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>the Patriots held day two of mandatory minicamp in significantly better weather conditions on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once again, New England practiced without star cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who is not expected to attend the three-day minicamp, according to head coach Bill Belichick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chase Winovich, Terez Hall, Byron Cowart, and Rashod Berry were absent for the second consecutive day as well, while tight end Jonnu Smith was a spectator after suffering an injury on Monday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Three interceptions by the defense and a noticeable uptick in snaps for rookie quarterback Mac Jones compared to Cam Newton highlighted the two-hour and 15-minutes session.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones attempted 25 passes in competitive team drills, going 17-of-25 with two interceptions. Newton, on the other hand, was 9-of-17 with a pick during 11-on-11s and 7-on-7s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s way too early to make any final determinations, Jones, who is more accurate and features a quicker release than Newton, is gaining traction to set up a true quarterback battle in training camp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are eight observations from day two of Patriots minicamp, starting with more detailed reports on Mac Jones, Cam Newton, and the rest of New England\u2019s quarterbacks:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. QB Mac Jones Starts Hot, Ends With Two Interceptions\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Jones is starting to out-rep Newton in these practices. The rookie opened team drills with a terrific red zone period, where he threw three touchdowns to three different receivers. First, he hit Hunter Henry on a stick-nod route up the seam by elevating the pass over the coverage, allowing Henry to climb the ladder. That was followed by touchdowns to Devin Asiasi (with Adrian Phillips in coverage) and Matt LaCosse (against Kyle Dugger) on quick-hitters for six. Then, in 11s, Jones\u2019s best throw came on a purposely low completion to Nelson Agholor. J.C. Jackson had tight coverage on Agholor, who ran a comeback route along the sideline, and Jones threw it low and away from Jackson to give Agholor a clean chance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, two of his last three passes of competitive team drills were intercepted. Jones tried to loft a throw over Dont\u2019a Hightower to Dalton Keene, but the veteran linebacker showed off his hops to pick it off, and the second INT was a batted pass at the line that fell into Kyle Van Noy\u2019s lap. Still, Jones continues to push the ball downfield more and more with each practice, and you see the growing confidence he has in throwing into passing windows available to him. Using the spring as a foundation, Jones will have a real shot at starting if he continues to progress at this rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. QB Cam Newton Accuracy Woes Continue, Hand Injury a Factor?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Back-to-back days of accuracy issues for Newton suggest that his injured throwing hand might be a factor. Ultimately, though, Jones is already breathing down Newton’s neck, and the results will need to come eventually. On Tuesday, Newton went 9-of-17 during competitive team drills, airmailing a pass to Hunter Henry on a deep crosser and missing an open Kendrick Bourne badly on a comeback route along the sideline. We can caveat everything with it\u2019s too early to tell in a non-padded practice, but Newton\u2019s accuracy and timing in the offense just aren\u2019t where they need to be, especially with a first-round pick now on the roster. It\u2019ll be interesting to see where things stand in Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels’ minds come training camp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. QB Jarrett Stidham is the King of 7-on-7 Drills\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Look, 7-on-7 isn\u2019t real football, and playing quarterback without a pass rush is much easier. With that said, Stidham has moments where he\u2019s lighting it up in 7-on-7, with great downfield ball placement the last two days on deep shots and a few lasers over the middle to Gunner Olszewski and rookie wideout Tre Nixon on Tuesday. He has made two competitive deep throws to Nelson Agholor the last two days that were perfectly placed but fought off by tight coverage or dropped. I\u2019m not sure it means anything since we are compounding a spring practice setting with drills that don\u2019t feature a pass rush, but it\u2019s worth noting that Stidham looks the most comfortable in 7-on-7 out of the four quarterbacks right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. LB Dont\u2019a Hightower\u2019s Interception Highlights Practice\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

In case there were still doubts, Hightower is back, and his post-practice comments suggest there\u2019s no reason to fear retirement, as does his play on the field. Hightower is right back in the middle of New England\u2019s defense making plays, with an interception as the highlight of Tuesday\u2019s practice. Hightower faked like he was going to join the rush, then dropped into coverage, and Jones never saw him. Hightower\u2019s interception was smooth, he\u2019s moving well, and he\u2019s not retiring; great news all around for the Patriots’ defense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. TE Devin Asiasi Quietly Putting Together a Good Spring\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Although the Patriots signed two tight ends in free agency, the 2020 third-round pick is holding his own this spring. Asiasi\u2019s coaches applaud his route detail throughout these practices, mainly hitting his landmarks and coming out of his breaks at the proper depth. For example, Asiasi made three smooth catches around the goal line, breaking off quick-outs underneath the defense. Will the Patriots unveil a three-tight end package? Will Asiasi be in a rotation with Henry and Jonnu Smith? It\u2019s too early to tell. But Asiasi is setting himself up for a role on this team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. WR Gunner Olszewski Starting to Get Open in Team Drills\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

As an All-Pro punt returner, Olszewski is already a roster lock. But the more you can do, the more valuable you are to Bill Belichick. I\u2019m reluctant to say that Olszewski is on the Troy Brown, Wes Welker, Julian Edelman trajectory where he\u2019s going to develop into a great slot receiver and returner. But Gunner keeps making plays in live team drills. On Tuesday, Olszewski dusted cornerback D\u2019Angelo Ross on a crossing route where an explosive route break caused Ross to fall to the turf. If the parallels between Olszewski’s career and Edelman\u2019s continue, then this would be the year where he starts to make an impact as a receiver.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7. DB Jalen Mills Has Best Day of Spring Practices\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Mills appears to be the next man up at outside corner if the Patriots can\u2019t solve Stephon Gilmore\u2019s contract dispute, which has yielded mixed. But, to his credit, Mills turned things around with an extremely active day around the ball on Tuesday. The new Pats DB nearly intercepted a Cam Newton deep ball ranging over the top as a deep safety, broke up a pass at the goal line, and then had tight coverage on Isaiah Zuber\u2019s go route to force an incompletion. Patriots captain Devin McCourty spoke about Mills\u2019s versatility as an asset to the secondary after practice. Although he\u2019ll have his ups-and-downs as an outside corner, Mills could thrive in this defense as a jack of all trades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. WR Jakobi Meyers Continues to Shine in Spring Practices\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

We are going on five practices now where Jakobi Meyers is a targets machine. Meyers\u2019s work underneath the defense and at the intermediate level is standing out every day. He has an excellent feel for route pacing, syncing his steps up with the play’s timing. For example, during a 3-on-2 period where the defense had three players in coverage against two receivers, Meyers ran a slick quick out of a stack formation with Nelson Agholor pushing the coverage upfield. Meyers and Agholor ran the route so well that it was nearly indefensible. Even with the additions of Agholor, Kendrick Bourne, and the two tight ends, Meyers will be a factor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
