FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is a big believer in joint practices in training camp, which he has said can be as valuable as the preseason games themselves. But sometimes finding a practice partner can be a challenge, as it always helps when there is a head coach with whom Belichick has a strong background and relationship.
Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien certainly qualifies, and thus it is noteworthy to pass along that the two coaches have been working on getting their teams together for joint practices at The Greenbrier in West Virginia.
