No one on the Belichick coaching tree has succeeded by imitating him. So the new Patriots coach is working to establish his own identity.
The New England Patriots were getting into a competitive 7-on-7 drill during OTAs on Wednesday, and first-year head coach Jerod Mayo was practically standing in his old position, inside linebacker. Mayo, in his Patriots-issued blue T-shirt and shorts, stood right in the middle of his defense while it attempted to stop quarterback Jacoby Brissett, receiver Tyquan Thornton, tight end Hunter Henry & Co. It was a good vantage point for the coach — albeit unorthodox.
The expectations for the Patriots offense might be grim, but for the defense? Well, folks are expecting New England to have one of the league's best again. While Belichick's offense ended up getting him fired, his defense almost never buckled. It was very, very good until the coach's bitter end in New England. And it's not exactly a defense of household names. Yes, there's Matthew Judon.
