Here are the most interesting stories Tuesday in the AFC East: Morning take: This is a good group around Brady. He has all the offensive weapons he needs, and the defense has improved. The Patriots are rightfully one of the favorites to make another title run.
Morning take: Miami was very conservative last year in the red zone and settled for too many field goals under former coach Tony Sparano. Rookie head coach Joe Philbin wants to be more aggressive, and that will include the risk of passing near the end zone.
Morning take: Buffalo needs at least one receiver to step up opposite Steve Johnson, but it appears various receivers are making plays on different days. The Bills have an entire preseason to figure this out.
Morning take: This is a group that needs to prove themselves outside of Santonio Holmes. Rookie Stephen Hill is someone who could be intriguing if he gets up to speed with the NFL game.
