PREVIEWING The AFC East! (2024) | NY Jets | Buffalo Bills | Miami Dolphins | New England Patriots

[Music] all right guys what’s going on welcome in so in this one I wanted to really break down the positives and the negatives surrounding each team in the AFC East I I did a video on the AFC East a couple days ago uh where I pretty much just went through and gave my thoughts and opinions on each team’s offseason so free agent signings uh free agent losses draft picks and whatnot and again gave my indiv ual letter grade for each one I’ll leave it link Down Below in the description box if uh if you haven’t checked it out but in this one I wanted to focus in on this division now of course right the Jets are my favorite team here so I already have a bias towards the division as it is but I feel like whether you’re a Jet fan whether you’re a fan of any of these teams or not you have to look at the AFC East and say you know what there’s there’s a ton of interesting storylines there’s a ton of talent a ton of really really good football teams ton of really good quarterbacks as well um so it’s going to be exciting 100% I really feel like it’s going to be uh you know a dog fight in in this division for this upcoming season so I think last AFC East video we started with the Miami Dolphins first let’s start with the Buffalo Bills first so for me here are the Buffalo Bills positives heading into 2024 I think first things first is we have to talk about the soft reset the Buffalo Bills are getting younger they’re getting cheaper and they’re getting faster all over the roster you know we’ve seen this time and time again where a team doesn’t live up up to expectations or a team can’t really push on make a deep deep playoff run uh where they’re making it to the Super Bowl and you just kind of feel like the team just ages out right time goes by and it’s like before you know it all these guys are older and you have to part ways they could have either ran it back with a lot of these different guys tried to you know restructure deals or released players and then sign them back to cheaper contracts to again try to run it back with these older veterans but the bills said no we’re going we’re going to Pivot right they didn’t wait too long they didn’t go into the season and you know try to roll the dice with it again see if they can knock off Kansas City see if they can knock off the Bengals in the playoffs they they I don’t want to say they pulled the plug on it early but they made a lot of tough decisions uh which you know on one hand it sucks you’re losing some leaders you’re losing veteran experience you’re losing playoff experience in a lot of these different guys I feel like with some of these defensive players too that they lost they’re almost losing coaches on the field like that’s how smart some of these guys some of these players are but you know I I think the positives here you’re saving a ton of money I I I mean look at the money that Buffalo’s that the Buffalo Bills saved with not bringing back puyer not bringing you know releasing travius white releasing Mitch Morse trading away Stefon digs you know the bills are in a position where they kind of took one step back to take two steps forward in the future almost like they’re getting ahead of the rebuild right and how do you do that you kind of reload uh you don’t just tear it all down at once and then it’s this slow three fouryear build uh they’re kind of trying to do it on the Fly and I respect uh respect Buffalo for doing that because not a lot of teams can do that uh successfully not a lot of teams have that self-awareness to say you know what Now’s the Time um teams either wait too long and they hold on then they’re stuck with a bunch of bad contracts and they have to you know go into a season with a lot of dead money you know there’s a ton of different situations like that but the bills here in you know by doing this they’re they’re getting faster at the positions you know they’re getting faster at safety Cole Bishop coming in Taylor rap at the POS at the position replacing guys like Micah Hyde and Jordan puyer uh corner is still I would say not necessarily an issue but in my opinion it’s thin um I I although I love Russ Douglas I thought that was such an underrated pickup for the bills Midway through the Midway through last season but again I I think the bills did a pretty good job of just recognizing who they are and where they were at going or really ending 2023 and going into 2024 the next positive here it’s a full offseason with Joe Brady at the helm when Joe Brady took over a year ago the offense really perked up right James Cook exploded Dalton con Kade exploded Josh Allen’s turnovers went down you just kind of felt like the offense was just humming they they stuck to the Run I felt like the bills offense was running the football a lot and you it kind of makes you ask the question man if Joe Brady was was calling plays from the beginning and it wasn’t kend dorsy would this offense look or would this team have more wins to end the year off because dorsey’s offense was good they were top 10 in so many different categories but the turnovers were an issue it felt like although the offense had a lot of positives although dorsy brought a lot of positives the negatives were clear they were apparent and there was no they had no answers for no Solutions so it was just like this is who we are week to week to week to week with Doris or sorry with Brady in my opinion Brady kind of simplified everything definitely cut the turnovers down as well uh which was positive so with Josh Allen and Joe Brady in the lab this off season you kind of want to assume that the offense is going to look similar to the second half of of last season but just a better version of it like the Joe Brady 2.0 version of the bills offense uh and then and then of course the last two points it’s it’s going to be a top 10 defense and a top three quarterback whenever you have a top three quarterback you have a chance right it doesn’t even matter who’s on the roster if you have a guy like Josh Allen if you have a guy like Pat Mahomes uh you are you’re going to be in the mix that’s really just the reality of the NFL uh and then you have a top 10 defense as well it’s it’s coached really well by Shawn mcder they lost again a a couple pieces Leonard Floyd I think is going to be a huge loss but you know I think with the with the thing that really impresses me about the bills they’ve shown an ability to you know develop young players right they can identify who they want identify who fits the culture identify who fits the system and then when it’s time to to pay those players big contracts think of like trumaine Edmonds and if they don’t if they don’t feel like they have enough funds to do that they can allow Edmonds to walk and the bills will be fine on the defensive side of the football because they have a young player that they drafted in the mid rounds that could come in and replace that player maybe not to its fullest extent you know his fullest extent but you get you know a decent you know a solid replacement for nothing you’re you’re not going out and and you’re paying a free agent to come in because you already have that replacement on the roster so that’s the thing with Buffalo is you know yes they lost a bunch of pieces but you kind of feel as though specifically in the defens side of the football that they have their Replacements lined up uh in the event of injuries in the event of players leaving and free agencies so I think the bills have a lot of positives but of course you have to take a look at the negatives as well again first off here they did lose a lot of veterans and experience I think in those tight uh playoff games games against ciny games against Baltimore games against Kansas City games against the Jets uh can they rely on these young players uh the guys that are placing the the the veterans here to make those critical plays to be able to uh not get too ahead of themselves to really try to be in the moment because I know those playoff games I mean we see players shrink like that and you never really know you can’t really read that and this goes for every sport right MLB uh the NHL NBA college football when the lights are at their brightest some players shrink some players get better um and Ty typically if you’re a season veteran and you’ve played in a ton of playoff games the lights aren’t as bright right you’re you’re not as rattled or is shell shocked and also you’re getting the other team’s best punch if if you will too so will these young players be ready for it that’s that’s a question that we’ll only have answered in time and then our second negative here there’s a lot of brand new weapons SL unproven guys so the bills are putting a ton of stock in into players that we just don’t really know either who they are at this point which is fine it you know that’s just a you know thing that happens in football or somebody who hasn’t really or you know I guess players that haven’t really done a whole lot up to this point I think of guys like ma Holland obviously Keon Coleman has not played it down um it’s a overall you’re saying okay this offense Josh Allen is the engine and we are taking that step back with with the talent offensively with the weapons around this quarterback but we have to make sure that the young guys all these new acquisitions Chase Claypool KJ hamler um you know these guys Shakir Shakir had a solid season uh that these guys can step up and rise to the occasion because you don’t want to be in a position like the Packers were with Aaron roders you know in that in that stretch where you kind of just felt like Green Bay wasn’t doing anything to help out the quarterback you know the receivers that were making plays the receivers that were rising to the top were just like you know like undrafted free agent and Alan Lazar just kind of like random guys that you felt as though Rogers was just making them better you know it wasn’t until they had Devonte Adams where all of a sudden you just see this huge connection but even that took a little bit of time uh so with the bills you know some positives some negatives here uh but there’s I I would say maybe more questions heading uh more more question marks around the organization going into 24 as opposed to previous years next up let’s talk about the New England Patriots here so the first positive is they selected one of the best quarterbacks in the draft in Drake may I mean if you want to talk about somebody to get excited about somebody with arm strength somebody with size somebody with Mobility somebody who’s dedicated to the game somebody who’s a great teammate and leader somebody who really feels like he like he he he wanted so bad he wants it so desperately I mean he’s already ingrained himself um in the you know New England Lifestyle the the Bost in way if you will you know he’s court side at Celtics games in the playoffs like this guy’s all New England Patriots football and if you’re a Pats fan like you’d love to see that kind of stuff um I I think really this guy’s a limit and then on top of that it’s really feels as though the Patriots have a great Foundation a great support system in place for Drake right where he doesn’t have to start immediately you have jacobe Bret there a great teacher a great guy a great leader uh somebody who is going to take May under his wing not this weird like Joe flacko Lamar Jackson situation not in the slightest jacobe brassette is a fantastic teammate and will teach will will teach Drake May uh pretty much everything he knows on top of that this team also brought in Alex Van Pelt AP formerly of the Cleveland Browns he was there uh he was actually their their play caller for a little bit uh but he has a lot of experience as an offensive coordinator he was with the Green Bay Packers worked with Aaron Rogers you know he’s going to be coming in installing the offense it’s going to be his show last couple years with New England it just felt like they were searching for answers on the offensive side of the football and a part of that is because of injuries a part of that is because of depth um and arguably a part of that was because of Mac Jones and his his inability to push the ball down the field um and you can argue uh was was belich stubborn in certain areas but you know with with with mayo taking over he’s somebody that knows the organization in and out and he handpicked AVP to run the offense so you’re getting somebody external you’re you’re not promoting uh from within offensively and again if I’m a Pats fan I’m really excited about that I I would be happy that we’re getting a guy who’s worked with quarterbacks who’s had success who has OC experience who has play calling experience somebody who has worked with chobe brasset so their relationship is already established Brett’s uh knowledge and understanding of the offensive system the terminology that’s already established which then trickles down to Drake may I I really feel like the Patriots have a lot of things going for them uh when you look at just the the ground level the foundation the base uh and then last but not least here it’s a free year you know and I know that might piss some fans off because it’s like you know you don’t want to go into the season assuming you’re going to lose a bunch of games or anything like that of course right not saying that the Patriots are going to tank not at all but what I am saying is that it it’s a it again it’s kind of a free year here right so if gerod Mayo goes out there and wins four games if Drake May gets some opportunities and doesn’t really look the best it’s all good because there’s so much newness right all over the organization from head coach to OC to play caller to you know new ideas to quarterback all these different you know a bunch of young draft picks as well a lot of high upside guys you know you kind of feel like okay this team has a lot of passes if you will they they get a lot of warnings it’s not the end all Beall if Drake May has a bad stretch of games or if he doesn’t really you know if he’s not throwing for 300 yards it’s not the end of the world he’s he’s a rookie dealing with a you know in a brand new situation dealing with a lot of newness so you know if you are a Pats fan you could essentially look at the season if you want as a year where you could almost call it like a big learning experience for everybody involved that’s kind of how I personally looked at uh the Jets season when Salah first took over first-time head coach Michael floor was the OC first time play caller they took Zach Wilson up at the top of the draft um you know so you’re just kind of going into these games saying hey I just want these guys to fly around the field give the opponent their best possible shot and take stuff away learn from these games learn from the mistakes if they you know if there are mistakes um but let’s let’s take a look at the negative here so obviously with the new coaching staff comes uncertainty you don’t actually know how these guys are going to perform um you know everybody’s excited well I shouldn’t say everybody but lots of people are typically excited when their team hires a new head coach right because you’re moving on from you know what was I would assume a disappointing season of the previous year um and you know you’re bringing somebody else in you know unless it’s like a weird situation like the Jets and Adam gase I I can’t really think of many examples where the majority of a fan base is just absolutely fuming and pissed that the team hired a new coach um for the most part it’s all pretty positive but yet every year we see a handful of guys getting fired uh some of those guys getting fired are relatively newer coaches so again this just is it comes with a territory of hiring a new coach you just don’t know what you’re going to get uh but maybe the Pats have a better understanding because it is a promotion from within uh next up another negative here it’s a young rebuilding team and yes you can maybe spend this as a positive but I don’t you know when it comes to a team having a bunch of rookies uh again all this newness I’m not really expecting them to make a ton of plays I am expecting a lot of mistakes so if I was a Pats fan you know I would be going into this uh going into these games not really expecting Drake made a throw you know for 350 and you know not I’m not expecting this defense to be a top three unit in football I am expecting a lot of mistakes and then another negative that I felt like is relevant is wide receiver and offensive line depth more so at offensive line than wide receiver because at receiver they did go out and draft a bunch of players um but you just kind and yes they moved on from Devonte Parker but you know it’s just a weird room in my opinion you know I’d be excited for the rookies but everybody else I’m just kind of wishy-washy with but that’s just me externally speaking right so I think you know the Patriots going into 2024 it’s going to be a rebuilding team and uh you know with a lot of question marks going into the year so you know for me I don’t think the Pats will make the playoffs but I I think if they could show stuff week to week if they can gradually get better that’s a win next up Miami Dolphins let’s talk about the positives first so they’re coming off a season where they were literally the best offense in football and the core is still there two is still the quarterback Jaylen WD still the receiver Tyreek Hill Still Still the receiver right they got a couple guys coming back from injury uh if I’m a dolphins fan I am extremely excited about the explosiveness about the electricity that Mike McDaniel brings every single Sunday especially early on in the season I mean the offense is no joke like you blink and the ball is already you know flying past the linebacker’s head on a play action uh pass from Tua you know it it’s it’s lightning quick guys are well coached they are exactly where they need to be uh in routes to his eyes really I felt like a lot of the times it doesn’t really matter who’s playing quarterback they they look like they’re being developed in other words I I think Mike McDaniels he’s an excellent offensive coach the question though of course is the you know late season falling apart or the weird like losing streaks that this team goes on every single year but we’ll get to the negatives in in a second but yeah this team has or is literally coming off the best U seon best offense in the NFL which is a something to definitely you know hang your hat on number two here they have one of the top wide receiving rooms in the NFL arguably the best right when you’re talking about Talent when you’re talking about experience when you’re talking about somebody who can hurt defenses or you know a unit that can hurt defenses deep down the field in the intermediate Parts in the short uh you know short uh passing game you know think about it Slants screens play action uh deep shots down the field seam routes this Dolphins offense I really feel like can exploit opposing defenses any way they want and a part of that is because the wide receiving room is just so damn good you don’t know what Tyreek Hill is going to do you know like he can run for 50 yards down the field and catch a bomb he can just you know when Tua snaps the ball he can literally take one step forward and then look at the quarterback catch a screen and run it you know run 50 yards with the football in his hands for a TD Jaylen wad all same situation stuff over the middle of the field who’s getting the ball misdirection pre- snap motion this this offense is you know it it’s it’s it’s good right uh also they start fast this Dolphins team I I I think Mike McDaniel is a really good job of game planning in the off season uh because I I don’t think it’s Ain Co incidence that this team starts you know gets racks up a lot of wins in September you kind of feel like every year um I don’t know if it’s that or if it’s you know defenses are just rusty but I feel like at this point it’s just too much of a coincidence to not give the Dolphins Credit in that uh you know in that area here and then last but not least they had a pretty good draft in my opinion they they drafted positions of need Malik Washington I felt like was a steel wide receiver from Virginia Patrick Paul could be the team’s next franchise tackle if potentially Armstead Le after the season and chop Robinson is to me like a boomer bus type of player but the Dolphins you know this a win now football team with pass rushers on the roster so if chop Robinson can come in and give you six sacks and you have Bradley chub and you have you know guys like Phillips and whatnot like this defensive line is is like when we’re talking about rushing the passer the Dolphins have guys that can do that so I I think the Dolphins have a lot of positives I’m not really buying this um you know the the argument that the dolphin had a terrible off season and uh you know they’re going to get this 67 win Mark I really don’t think so I think the AFC East from top to really the top three bills jets in Miami it’s going to come right down to the end of the year the last two three games of the season I think it’s really going to uh decide who wins the Division and who potentially uh becomes the wild card team let’s look at the negatives here so they did lose a lot of talent uh at Big positions right Christian Wilkins Robert hunt uh the quarterback position with xaven Howard although they did add Kendall Fuller um they did lose players uh Jerome Baker at linebacker now yes of course the Dolphins did add to the roster with guys like Jordan Brooks and whatnot but I I I don’t want to sweep the losses under the rug and say yeah it’s no big deal we lost Robert hunt you know he he’s easily replaceable Christian wilkin’s easily replaceable at one point Xavier Howard was freaking dominant H it’s no big deal losing him at some point I do feel like there is going to be a toll but I do kind of to counter that I do feel like Miami did a a good enough job uh realistically speaking in the ability to counter those losses they didn’t just rest on their Laurels uh another big big negative is they have a really tough end of the schedule mixed with a history of falling apart so to end the year they play the Packers they play the Jets twice they play the Browns the 49ers the Houston Texans right the Packers Texans 49ers and Browns were all playoff teams a year ago and the Jets expect to be a playoff team this season if everybody stays healthy you know I definitely could see this team making the playoffs right so to end the year like if you’re talking about competing with New York completing with uh competing with Buffalo competing in a stacked AFC and you’re ending the season cold weather games playing you know four four playoff teams from a year ago and two division rivalry games and you have a history of falling apart that is a big question mark for me that’s only some that to me is something that when it happens when it gets to that point in the season it’s like all right you know grab your popcorn this we’re going to actually see what the Dolphins are made of because we know that that they’re going to win games early in the season we know that they’re going to beat teams who they’re better than in September October what happens in late December January right where this team has to put up or shut up um and deal with the push back from media big media suggesting that this team uh can’t play in the cold or Tua can’t push the ball or they get hurt too much or Mike McDaniel gets figured out you know can the Dolphins answer those questions and last but not least we got the New York Jets here so talking about the positives first top five defense bare minimum top five defense like I do not see this team having the 15th or 17th or 20th ranked defense it it’s just not in the cards they have way too much talent they have pass rushers they have corners they have leadership they have defensive lineman uh on the inside that can get after the passer uh I do have questions about maybe safety depth and ability to stop the run but you know it’s it’s a talented talented group called by Jeff or who could very well become a head coach in the next cycle in my opinion the Jets will have a top three defense in football football I do not think that’s an over exaggeration next up they’re going to have a top 10 special teams unit I mean we look at how this team performed a year ago they were great we’re talking field goals we’re talking extra points we’re talking punts punt coverage kickoff coverage the jet special teams unit was awesome and now you’re factoring in this new special teams Rule and I do feel like we have a lot of talent in this uh you know that that we can deploy in this you know with this new rule here with guys like Xavier Gibson Malachi Corley potentially returning kicks what about Izzy I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Garrett Wilson back there returning kicks I think the Jets are going to have a top 10 special teams unit and whenever you can match a top five defense with a top 10 special teams unit and a healthy Aaron roders to me that that’s that that’s the equation of a of a playoff team now of course anything can happen but as we stand right now Rogers is healthy Rogers is coming off the Achilles but he’s a he’s 100% healthy at this point in time which is positive so you know you can’t just go into a season saying oh he’s going to get hurt like you can’t do that right so as we stand right now great defense great special teams a healthy Aaron Rodgers with an influx of depth and talent what was the issue for the team a year ago the main issue it was injuries right we could talk about hacket and Sol’s leadership just being non-existent and you know the quarterback play and whatnot but injur injuries had a big big part if Rogers was there if we had more offensive lineman throughout the year um we would have been in a much better position to end the season off so we I I really feel like Joe Douglas did a good job of of adding players at Big Time positions we added Mike Williams we added Tyron Taylor we added Tyron Smith we added Morgan Moses we added John Simpson and then all of a sudden you’re getting all these guys back right you’re getting avt back what’s going to happen with Joe titman in year two at Center so I think in the event that an injury does happen or something crazy does happen we’re in a lot better of a position now than we were a year ago uh which is such a such a big positive now to quickly go over the negatives here obviously the first uh first one that needs to be addressed health I know we just kind of touched on it but you know that that’s that’s the one um you know trump card if you will right for people that don’t think the Jets are going to be good they’re they’re expecting injuries no Mike Williams can’t say healthy no Tyron Smith can’t say healthy no Rogers can’t say healthy um is it is a lot of assumptions some have Merit based off of resume and whatnot um but some like we don’t know that to be a fact you know because a lot of people can easily say all right well what if Josh Allen breaks his uh leg in week three you know do the Bills feel like they’re a playoff team with Mitch trabis maybe you know I don’t know so you can literally make that argument for any other team out there in football the problem with the Jets is that a last season was a train wreck and they completely fell apart and they didn’t know how to deal with it and uh B some of the guys that the Jets brought in have a track record of getting hurt every single season so obviously it doesn’t really bode well but health is still a big big question mark But as we stand right now outside of Mike Williams uh and AV everybody is healthy next up offensive staff I have a massive question mark with the offensive staff I just don’t feel as though Nathaniel Hackett or Keith Carter or Todd Downing these guys are not putting they’re not maximizing and this is just my opinion here I just don’t believe that they’re maximizing the talent on offense you know when I’m thinking about Bree Hall when I’m thinking about Garrett Wilson when I’m thinking about Malachi Corley in practice I don’t view them as guys that are getting better at their maximum potential if that makes sense Maybe completely wrong here but when I think about you know a wide receiver getting drafted to the Dolphins or an offensive lineman getting drafted uh to the Ravens or a quarterback getting drafted to the Chiefs um you know or a running back getting drafted to the 49ers you’re like naturally as a fan you’re thinking those guys are getting top tier coaching those guys are are you know if they don’t pan out it’s it’s going to be because the player isn’t you know isn’t all that great it’s not because of the team it’s not because of the situ situation it’s not because of the coaches but with the Jets it’s like you know if Garrett Wilson has a down year or Breeze Hall starts out of the gate uh slow right as a first first slow couple months I don’t think a lot of fans are going to be blaming Bree Hall I think a lot of fans are going to be looking at the coaching staff saying hey what happened last year we fell apart completely we have we already have a lot of questions about this you know current staff we kind of know who Bree Hall is he’s not the issue it’s the coach’s fault because we’re not maximizing maximizing talents here and that is worrisome when you don’t when you have a defensive head coach and he doesn’t really input pretty much anything you know it’s not like we have McVey or Shanahan or laflor or Reed or you know Harbaugh you know to step in and kind of override Things No it’s it’s it’s hacket offense it’s downing’s offense it’s it’s Keith Carter you know and that’s pretty much it so from an offensive coaching standpoint I would take so many other team situations and then last but not least leadership I I I think this is a big question mark um you kind of feel like when things are going well with the Jets everybody’s feeling themselves everybody’s like down to talk about the other team and you know we we we can just kind of uh everybody’s in a great mood but then when things go poorly it’s just like uh you know poor us uh you know we’re receiving bad media headlines it’s not fair I I don’t like that mindset at all you know I really want want the Jets to have a winning culture of course you have to win to implement that culture but the leadership I feel like is Paramount it’s Paramount for a team because no team just wins every single game sweeps through the playoffs and wins the Super Bowl no no at some point there’s going to be adversity whether it’s a player getting hurt whether it’s a devastating loss whether it’s uh a losing streak whatever it may be you have to have the leadership to kind of pull through that adversity and that’s something that just did not happen a year ago um you kind of felt the only bit of leadership was from guys like Quinny Williams CJ Mosley and Aaron Rogers from the sidelines having to fly in from California during his rehab to help this team on the sidelines um so I think at the end of the day the AFC East is stacked I think there’s so many different storylines and I cannot wait to see how it play how it plays out let me know your thoughts Down Below in the comment section thanks so much for watching and as always gojets [Music] [Music]
