Patriots improve their coaching staff

Bricillo, Brown, McDaniels, and Sunseri will help Bill Belichick in different parts of the game. Douglas, Hardegree, Rothstein, Yates, and Patricia joined the Patriots coaching staff in the offseason.

Patricia returned to New England after his short stint with the Detroit Lions. He was their head coach for two-plus seasons. Patricia was defensive coordinator in his first stint with the team. Patriots players really like him. Veteran safety Devin McCourty has nothing but words of praise for the assistant.

Bricillo was a co-offensive line coach in 2020. He was working with Cole Popovich. The latter left the team before camp. Sources reveal that he didn’t really agree with the new COVID-19 guidelines.

The Patriots had their first practice and players hit the practice field to sharpen their skills. Fans were allowed to watch their favorite team and it was a beautiful experience for everyone. We are ready for real football and this is the closest we can get to a real game. There were no pads this time, but we don’t mind that. We saw our favorite players on the practice field. That’s the only thing that matters now.
