FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots are scheduled to hold their final two organized team activities of the offseason this week, with Tuesday's session the last to be open to reporters, and the hot, humid conditions will give it a training camp-like feel. Temperatures are expected to be in the low 90s.
Just as Bill Belichick likes it.
In addition to what has unfolded on the field -- a lot of teaching and quarterback Tom Brady showing no signs of decline -- the different conditions the Patriots have practiced have been notable and highlight part of Belichick's coaching philosophy: Outside of heavy wind and lightning, the Patriots always practice outside as part of being prepared to play in any conditions.
