The New England Patriots have not selected their offensive play-caller for the 2022 season, but Bill Belichick seems to be beginning to lean a particular way, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe. Offensive assistant Matt Patricia appears to be on a path to serve as the play-caller for 2022.
Patricia, Bill Belichick and Joe Judge have all been working together in leading the installation process. That much is clear in practice during the early days of organized team activities. But apparently, Patricia could soon take the step forward during the course of the offseason to be the play-caller.
Another interesting wrinkle: While it seemed (at least to reporters watching practice) the Patriots were poised to have run-game and pass-game coordinators, they are unlikely to do that, per the Athletic.
