Day 1 of camp gives glimpse of Patriots’ offensive structure

Associated Press  

— For now, the title of offensive coordinator officially remains unfilled on the Patriots coaching staff, with Bill Belichick yet to make any definitive statement on who will be calling plays on that side of the ball this season. But I feel like they’re all listening to the players.” Though structurally it is a dynamic change from last season under former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, the early feedback from Jones and his teammates is that the adjustments made so far have streamlined things and will allow everyone to play freer. It’ll allow us up front to play faster as well.” That was on display during the limited 11-on-11 work the offense did on Wednesday when Jones moved swiftly in and out of plays in the red zone, giving receivers such as DeVante Parker a small head start as the defense was still adjusting pre-snap. “A lot of adjustments we’ve made to come off the ball faster,” receiver Kendrick Bourne said. “Coach Belichick’s done a great job kind of explaining exactly what we want to do as an offense,” Jones said.

So with the first week of training camp now in the books, let’s look at the biggest risers and …
