When it comes to the Chiefs and their RPO usage, Bill Belichick told WEEI this week that he’s preparing for a completely different offense than the one that defeated the Patriots in last season’s opener.
“We played them opening day, and then we got ready for them at the end of the season last year . . . But they didn’t have the RPO system like they have it now. I’d say that’s a pretty significant change. They have a number of ways to do it.”
However, as eager as Belichick has been to discuss the new wrinkles in the Kansas City’s attack, it feels almost as if the wily old coach is simply using the media’s excitement over their favorite new buzz word as a means to hit his content quota for the week.
