Bill Belichick didn't make massive changes to the Patriots' offensive personnel. Instead, he's looking for one man to provide improvement.
“Right now, my mind is definitely on Philly and what we can do to put our players in the best position to make plays in that game,” O’Brien said this week with theIn January, he was given the titles of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, two related jobs that carry a bit more weight with the Patriots than they do with other teams.
Jones’ trust in O’Brien has been returned in the form of more influence in the offense. A year ago, Jones was strongly discouraged from changing plays at the line of scrimmage. The thinking was,Now the view is more collaborative. O’Brien offers Jones a play call to relay in the huddle, plus another option in case Jones thinks the first one won’t work based on the way the defense lines up. Then there are other checks Jones can go to throughout a game.
After O’Brien was fired by the Texans, he went to Alabama to become the offensive coordinator for Nick Saban, one of Belichick’s most trusted friends. In Tuscaloosa, he became well versed in the run-pass options Saban has made a central part of Alabama’s offense since Jones arrived in 2018.Now, O’Brien is bringing that approach to the Patriots’ playbook. For this team, it serves two purposes.
The Patriots’ outlook in 2023 is simple. They believe in their defense. They think their special teams can be vastly improved.
