Patriots assistant Ross Douglas on moving from defense to offense: ‘Coaching football is coaching football’

In light of several assistant coaches leaving for the Las Vegas Raiders, the New England Patriots’ staff on the offensive side of the ball will look quite different this year. One of the changes involves moving former coaching assistant Ross Douglas from defense to offense.

While his official title has yet to be announced — as is the same with other assistants on head coach Bill Belichick’s staff — Douglas confirmed this week that he will be working with the Patriots’ wide receiver group.

“I am working with the receivers and it’s been a pleasure to work with these guys,” he told reporters during a media conference call.
