New England Patriots’ Bill Belichick is the ultimate master of team building – ESPN Boston

Interesting on why the Pats have had no jerseys with numbers this off-season.

“They want us to learn each other’s names and communicate better,” one player said. Added another player: “With 90 guys on the roster, that’s a lot. The idea is to get away from saying, ‘Hey, number 95’ or ‘number 99,’ and call each person by their name. Our goal the whole camp was to communicate, and just know who you’re speaking to and what to say. We feel communication is a big thing in football, and that’s what we’re working on.”
