Who will call the shots on offense after the departure of long-time coordinator Josh McDaniels is of the biggest mysteries currently surrounding the New England Patriots. The team’s mandatory minicamp, which took place at Gillette Stadium between Tuesday and Wednesday, did not offer any clear answers or indications.
While head coach Bill Belichick was less actively involved with the unit compared to the previous organized team activities open to the media, neither Matt Patricia nor Joe Judge appeared to definitively take on the lead role. Instead, they took turns calling plays for the unit.
Its most important player, meanwhile, does not seem to be worried too much about the Patriots’ lack of an offensive coordinator at this point in time.
