The Patriots have concluded their morning workout, Bill Belichick has spoken and the Gillette Stadium workers are setting up for a visit from Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band. A busy day in Foxboro.

The practice was highlighted by some rookie hazing where a small pool of water was created and the rookies were let loose on a Slip-N-Slide like area. Just for good measure, Tedy Bruschi stood by with a hose to wet down whoever was escaping.

In a pass protection drill, RB LaMont Jordan ran over veteran Larry Izzo but had a tougher time with rookie Gary Guyton.

Rookie Jerod Mayo obviously doesn't know that Chris Hansen is the only punter in camp. On a punt return, Mayo flattened Hansen, drawing oohs and aahs from the crowd.

Also, Tom Brady and center Russ Hochstein bumbled a snap and were sent on a lap around the field for their miscue.

The Pats ended the morning workout with a heavy dose of goal line and red zone plays. Brady missed two open receivers and turned away in disgust after both passes.
