BOSTON -- Kendrick Bourne is coming off a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year for the New England Patriots. From the outside, it sure seemed as though a large percentage of the reason for that significant downturn was due to the receiver ending up in the doghouse of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge during the preseason.
Now, though, it's a new year. And based on everything Bourne said about new offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien after an OTA practice on Friday, it's not difficult at all to deduce that he's elated about the coaching change.
"Bill's familiar with what he's doing, so it feels good," Bourne said of O'Brien.
