When the New England Patriots held their offseason workouts last spring, they used what was described as a “collaborative effort” on offense. With long-time coordinator Josh McDaniels no longer part of the equation, head coach Bill Belichick and assistant coaches Matt Patricia and Joe Judge ran the show on that side of the ball.
Fast forward one year, and you get a different picture when looking at how practice is being run. Bill O’Brien, who the Patriots re-hired earlier this offseason to have an official offensive coordinator and help quarterback Mac Jones, is clearly running the show.
