When the Patriots hired Corwin Brown to join Bill Belichick's staff on Jan. 29, the team's announcement did not specify what Brown's duties would be. At that time, Brown had simply been added as a defensive coach.
The team has since added specifics, confirming the obvious that Brown will be working with the team's defensive backs.
Safety Brandon Meriweather had previously taken it one step further, saying Brown was the new "safeties" coach, which makes sense since that is the position Brown played in the NFL.
Brown is the most significant addition to the team's coaching staff in 2010. His presence gives the Patriots two coaches working with the defensive backfield -- Brown and Josh Boyer -- which marks the first time in Bill Belichick's tenure that he has two coaches with the same title working with the secondary. That could mean Boyer, the lone defensive backs coach in 2009, will focus more on the cornerbacks.
