KCF0107 08/31/19 2:15:14 AM #150:	AFC East 1. Miami Dolphins 2. New York Jets 3. Buffalo Bills 4. New England Patriots The future construction of the team might look very differently next season depending on a variety of factors, but right now, the Dolphins, on the heels of a season where one could argue they were the best team ever, are still SB contenders even with the retirements of WR Kelly Campbell and C Todd McClure, trade of MLB James Laurinaitis, and loss of LT Lane Johnson in RFA. Losing Campbell and Johnson could have major consequences though. The WR corp is looking a little thin and what was once a deep pool at OL has been pilfered to death and back to where it doesn't look at that special on paper. They still have former MVP QB Sam Keller and MVP runner-up HB Jacquizz Rodgers, so it would be a shock to anyone if they didn't have at least a very good offense. We could see a sizable drop though. The elite defense though should see very little to any drop off with Laurinaitis gone, especially since do-it-all DE Calais Campbell is returning from a lost season. The Dolphins after owning the third-hardest schedule last season should feel relieved that play the majority of their most-difficult games at home, face the Rams and Colts early in the season when they are currently very healthy, and they avoid both the Pioneers and Jaguars. A second straight AFC East crown should be theirs if they want it. I'm not sure there's a more underappreciated team in the NFL than the Jets. We are, what, five seasons removed from Fenny running the team, and everybody seemingly forgets about them. They are 29-19 over the past three seasons and frequently field a Top-10 defense and Top-16 offense. They have one of the best HBs in Romance Taylor, the division's best WR corps, and a developing and ascending OL on the left side and middle with the right side being manned by Jake Grove and Kareem McKenzie, who have a combined 1290 blocks against 135 sacks allowed. The defense features a DT factory, a great young LB corps, and an ascending secondary. The DE is their "weak spot" by default but they do have a 90 DE and a 1st round pick starting. Most teams would kill to have this defense. This team basically has no holes, and they never beat themselves. The enigma surrounding this team is squarely at the QB spot where Mike Glennon's time spent behind Drew Brees and Byron Leftwich comes to an end. In limited duty, which does include two starts, he does have an 85.4 passer rating on 62.8% passing. What could cause them to miss the playoffs for a second consecutive season is not the preseason OL injuries (they did sign a replacement for one player) but the schedule. They start with road games against the Steelers and Pioneers, exit the bye with the Rams and Seahawks, and end the season with both Dolphins games with the Ravens sandwiched between. I'm sure Glennon would like the schedule to be redone. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy https://imgur.com/VfpY7tg <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:926768246] in Board 8 Na...
