He changes philosophies and his coaching style on a day-to-day basis, let alone a year-to-year basis. Belichick’s training camp has been noticeably lackadaisical and chill this year, which is leading some to believe he is actually caving to the wants of Brady and Gronk to have a more “fun” atmosphere in Foxboro.Īs gruff as he is, Belichick is one of the great chameleons in NFL history. There is no denying there is turmoil within the organization, and things just feel different this August. Many Patriots fans that have come to expect a deep playoff run every single year are worried about this group. Meanwhile, Gronk has played in just two preseason games in the past five years – with both coming last year in Weeks 2 and 3. Interestingly enough, the past three preseasons in which he did not participate in preseason Game 1 – the Pats wound up going to the Super Bowl.

In the past five preseasons, he saw action in the first game two times – playing in two series in 20.

There is a chance we see some of Brady, though.
