Bill Belichick, Patriots and their preparations for NFL
After losing the services of NFL GOAT Tom Brady, the Patriots never really got an impact player. It was evident in this year’s NFL top 100 players of the 2022 list. Mac Jones was the only New England player on the list.
This low representation points out that the team is missing out on the star presence. It is this lacuna that the head coach, Bill Belichick, will have to resolve soon. As a matter of fact, the experience in defense will only help the team to a small part. They need to play an aggressive game to clinch the title. In order to keep the players motivated, the head coach is planning to show them some Tyreek Hill films.
