Not the best day for Tom Brady and his receivers. Lots of drops and miscommunications. Evident by the Brady punt in frustration.

Pats receiver Chris Hogan spoke briefly about the team’s rough practice this afternoon.

“You’ve gotta get yourself going,” Chris Hogan said Monday after practice. “These are the type of days where you really have to dig deep and grind through it, and really focus on whatever your job is for that day. Try to string together good days of practice, whether you’re tired or it’s wet or slippery outside. That doesn’t really matter, you just have to do your job.”
“This is not something you can dwell on – one drop or a mistake. This is a fast-paced game, and you can’t dwell on one play. … Do your job and try to make a play when it comes to you next.”
Fans had mixed reactions to Brady’s outburst.

It’s good to see that Brady has that competitive fire even during training camp.
