As Boston Bruins fans, most of us are New England Patriots fans by default, and now new head coach Jared Mayo comments on how he tends to be the best coach he can be and how David Pastrnak has given him lots of inspiration.
If you have been following the Patriots this season, it is fairly obvious to fans that Jared Mayo is going to a much different coach that legend and future Hall-of-Famer Bill Belichick, but that doesn't mean he can't be just as successful.
Being 38-years-old is fairly young for an NFL head coach, but he fully intendeds to use community and fellow Boston Sports stars like David Pastrnak and Jayson Tatum to inspire his players. He offered deep insight into how he views the game.
"Football is football. The game is about space," Mayo told reporters Friday, per team-provided video. "I try to explain that to the coaches. I try to explain that to the players, even my son. Most of these team sports is about space. Obviously, you can look at football 3-by-1 is about space. Same thing in hockey. You watch hockey, they'll overload a side and have a guy (on the other side). Now depending on who this guy is over here, you've got to make a choice defensively. It's about space. If it's a superstar player in hockey (David Pastrnak). If you double-team this guy, but now you're light (on the other side).
"Same thing in basketball. If you have Jayson Tatum (on one side) and someone who's not really a scorer and we overload one side. You've got to make a choice. Either you double-team Jayson Tatum and be short over on the overload side or just play it straight and (Tatum) has a 1-on-1. Same thing soccer. It's about space, overload a side, cross it, do whatever."
