Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said he is scraping his standard offseason program. In an interview with PFW Patriots correspondent and Boston Herald reporter Ian Rapoport, Belichick explained that he and his staff are focusedon doing as much teaching as possible whenever training camp begins. "At one point, we had to prepare for theoffseason program, and that's not really a part of it now," Belichick said, according to the Herald. "We talked about some kind of minicamp or [organized team activities], but now, we just turn our attention to training camp and get our teaching and organization straight there." The coach also said the team's playbook could be reduced to lessen the learning curve for new players. "Something's going to have to go, I would think," Belichick told Rapoport. "The progression's got to stay the same, but the breadth of that amount of installation could be subject to being trimmed back, maybe drastically."
