SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – When the McCourty twins played under Greg Schiano at Rutgers, what was his defensive coaching style
"Verrrry aggressive," said Jason McCourty. "Man-to-man and a ton of blitzing."
"Cover-2. Blitz. Cover-2. Blitz," summarized Devin McCourty.
Schiano's addition to the Patriots coaching staff has not been announced but he's expected to be the successor to Brian Flores as the defensive play-caller.
Under Bill Belichick, the Patriots are inclined to put people in positions and let things play out so Schiano's role may morph quite a bit. And it's also not reasonable to expect that his coaching style with the Patriots in 2019 is going to align exactly with the way he coached while at Rutgers from 2001 to 2011.
