PHOENIX — Whereas many analysts already have the Patriots ending ineffective last throughout the AFC East, as a minimum one educated has a really fully completely different take.
SiriusXM NFL’s Jim Miller doesn’t see the Patriots as cellar dwellers. In actuality, Miller sees the Patriots worthwhile the division this yr.
And he wasn’t joking.
“I simply personally assume, when you’ve got Mac Jones teamed up with Invoice O’Brien, they’ll be capable of win the division,” Miller talked about Monday sooner than hitting the airwaves. “I believe they’re that gifted of a group. No person’s desirous about them, all people thinks they’re going to be fourth, however I believe they’re going to be a lot better. They’ll be proper within the combine to compete and win the division . . . I believe you’re going to see an offense that returns to the fashion of play New England has all the time had.”
Higher than three-time defending champion Buffalo with Josh Allen? Higher than a Dolphins workers that shored up its safety to go along with its stacked offense? Higher than a Jets workers that’s about to land Aaron Rodgers?
Miller, a one-time Patriot and former NFL quarterback, didn’t flinch, even with a much more sturdy schedule this season. He’s a believer.
He was rather more optimistic than Patriots proprietor Robert Kraft, who talked about he has hope given newest strikes and modifications made by the workers.
Miller thinks the Pats have a excessive safety, and with O’Brien getting Jones & Co. straightened out after last yr’s disaster, they’ll be correct there, and soar once more into the best spot after their third place (8-9) finish last yr.
“Yup. I believe it’s going to be a bounce-back 12 months for the Patriots,” he talked about. “I’m ingesting the Kool-aid. In Invoice I belief.”
So the Patriots have as a minimum one NFL analyst of their nook.
