During the more than three weeks of training camp, the Patriots’ pass rush has been one of the team’s strong points.
On the first day of joint workouts versus the Vikings on Wednesday, they managed to put up a fight, but they were defeated on the second day.
Nevertheless, in an interview with the Herald on Thursday, Vikings Pro Bowl offensive tackle Brian O. Neill expressed his admiration for the team.

According to O’Neill, they have some players. Seeing (Christian) Barmore return to the field today was a terrific test for us. Obviously, that will have a significant impact on them. Harold (Landry) gained a great deal of respect from me. I’ve faced him in a previous game, and everything I’ve heard about him is really professional. After that, Milton (Williams) definitely had some juice. Additionally, Keion (White) is quite skilled off the edge and can do it from both sides, something that few men are able to do. They play hard as a result. They are clearly very well-coached. For us, the two days of work were excellent.
After signing as a free agent, K Lavon Chaisson, the backup outside linebacker for the Patriots, has also had a successful summer.
When facing the Patriots’ offensive line, Barmore, Landry, Williams, and White have frequently been in the backfield. Last season, the Patriots’ pass rush was one of the weakest in the NFL. This offseason, Chaisson, Williams, and Landry all signed. Due to blood clots, Barmore missed the most of last year. On Thursday, he was on the field for joint workouts even though he didn’t practice on Wednesday.
