If coach Bill Belichick is going to favor one of the New England Patriots’ units — whether in practice or film sessions — he’s usually overseeing the defense. He has worked on offense, special teams and defense throughout the years but he is, of course, famous for being a defensive guru.
That’s why it’s interesting that Belichick spent most of Monday’s practice session, the team’s first period of organized team activities, hovering around offensive players and instructing them alongside his offensive coaching assistants, which includes Joe Judge (quarterbacks), Matt Patricia (offensive line), Troy Brown (receivers) and Vinnie Sunseri (running backs), among others.
Receiver Kendrick Bourne is loving it.
