Bill Belichick’s Experimentation Will Be Patriots’ Advantage In 2020 Season

Bill Belichick is most known for his old-school authoritarian style of head coaching. But the New England Patriots head coach is also an enigma. Because he’s completely willing to think outside of the box and experiment with new ideas.

I’ve long been obsessed with Belichick’s willingness to simply toggle a player’s position if it’s what’s best for the team, and it opens up all sorts of possibilities when the Patriots have a large roster leading up to an unprecedented season. NFL practice squads will be expanded from 10 to 16 players this season. Add those to the 53-man active roster, and Belichick will have 69 players to maneuver.
