The Facts:
HC Bill Belichick does not plan to name a defensive coordinator in 2010 and instead will be more involved on defense to share the workload with his assistants, according to the team's official website. "Titles are fine, nothing wrong with them,” Belichick said on Patriots.com, “but the most important thing is each person’s role, that we do everything we can to help the players succeed."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Patriots and Dean Pees, who served as DC the last four seasons, parted ways in January. ... Meanwhile, the Patriots also have not named an offensive coordinator at this point. If they do in the future, it would almost certainly be QBs coach Bill O'Brien, who handled much of the play-calling duties in 2009 when the team went without an official coordinator.
