Hey all --

The Patriots have wrapped up training camp practice number nine, and will be back on the field tomorrow for two sessions, beginning at 8:45 a.m. and then again at 5:30.

Here's some things we saw out there:

Matt Cassel wasn't super sharp. The third-year quarterback floated a pass that looked like it was intended for Benjamin Watson, but safety James Sanders, who was in front of Watson, ended up with the interception. Cassel also had a few balls batted down, by Mike Wright and Ty Warren.

Rodney Harrison drew a couple of flags from the officials on hand, and was not happy with the penalties. On one, he was caught holding Watson on a pass attempt from Brady, and as he was on the grass, Watson implored the officials to throw the flag.

Laurence Maroney was dressed and on the field, but he didn't participate much in the afternoon's drills.

One of our favorite things about camp is after practice, seeing the players play with their kids and their teammates' children. Matt Light, Josh Miller, Rosevelt Colvin, Ty Warren and Sammy Morris were some of the players hanging out with their families today.

Ellis Hobbs was "racing" Colvin's oldest son, Light was throwing his youngest in the air, Warren was cuddling with his three adorable daughters, and Morris' kids helped out some fans. A group of autograph seekers standing near the friends and family area began chanting "Sammy! Sammy!" and Morris' children began pushing him toward the crowd. He made a show of it, but went on over and signed for a little while.
