00:00I'm with Fred on this one that there are a lot of questions on this roster still I mean that
00:05the
00:05offensive line you don't know how that's going to shake out you don't know if Morgan Moses is
00:09going to last the entire season and I don't know if they have an adequate backup to replace him
00:14there and you know the wide receivers other than AJ Brown if he comes in here still question marks
00:21too I I don't know how you can see them as a clear favorite well John I mean question marks
00:27Romeo Dobbs is a number two AJ Brown we can't just put to the side and pretend just disappears into
00:32thin air that's a number one receiver which again the Patriots have not had legitimately on the
00:37outside you want to argue Brandon Cooks in 2017 cool but again I would go to the end of Randy
00:42Moss
00:42it's the difference maker that I'm not arguing that you're right about that okay so AJ Brown
00:47Romeo Dobbs you know your pop Douglas Matt Collins Keishon booty to me that's a pretty strong five
00:52the offensive line you're right to me I would just bank on a little bit some of the internal
00:56development we're like look we get the Will Campbell conversations obviously a big separate one
01:01but we all hear about the year two leap you're not just getting that from him but also Jared Wilson
01:06and now Elijah Vera Tucker is better than any offensive lineman you had last year so even if
01:11he stays healthy which is a huge question mark sure John but like that's the part of the AFC where
01:17the
01:17question marks for the Patriots are smaller than when you go to Buffalo who has you want to talk about
01:23question marks a receiver ask any fan about them or defensively how they got carved up by Bo Nix who
01:29in Denver the quarterback is the biggest question so if I'm the Patriots with Drake May and Mike
01:34Rabel and in this scenario AJ Brown oh and the best defense of the AFC at the end of the
01:39year
01:39um yeah I take the Patriots with that addition going into next season do you think the Patriots
01:45they're not talking like they feel like their their attitude is like yours yeah the owner especially
01:52yeah how funny was that though that variable had to pull aside and give Robert a PR lesson after he'd
02:00spoken for three minutes because they had curbed his time and even within that said something that
02:04wasn't totally in line I mean look they weren't talking like that in the middle of last season
02:09and we all know what the schedule was and how that was you know part of a driver of their
02:13success
02:14but they're I think wisely just not going to get ahead of themselves when they know that the
02:19schedule is going to be a big uh wind that they're going into as opposed to being at their backs
02:24next
02:24season so look it would take a lot of good health and a lot of young development two things that
02:30they
02:30had last year to repeat in 2026 for them to get back to the Super Bowl again I just have
02:35fewer
02:36questions about them specifically at premium positions with AJ Brown quarterback receiver corner
02:42than I do at other places in the AFC like that they should feel good about where they are next
02:47season
02:47and obviously beyond that too
02:49you
