TA's Take

1. Tavon Wilson will supplant Steve Gregory at FS by Week 8. Wilson will be this team's starting Free Safety by Week 8. I've been extremely impressed by him in the preseason and think the Patriots found something in Wilson. I think Gregory will be solid and really help this Defense but Wilson will be better and they will switch roles by mid-season. Wilson will start and Gregory will play in sub packages. This move will be based on performance and not injury. Gregory will be healthy and a contributor all season long. 2. Jermaine Cunningham will have 10+ sacks. Whether he eventually starts at DE or strictly comes in on sub packages Cunningham will have a great year rushing the passer. I could see his role coming together exactly like Mark Anderson's did last season. First half of the year he played during pass rushing situations and recorded 5 sacks and then eventually started by December and continued his strong play and record another 5 sacks. Cunningham's 2012 se...

1. Aaron Hernandez will lead the Team with over 1,300 receiving yards and 12 Touchdowns. I expect Hernandez to be the focal point of this offense moving forward. I think Josh McDaniels will be able to utilize him like no other player. He will line up at TE, WR, and RB. Hernandez also has a chance to lead the Team in receptions, he should have over 100 but I'll still give the nod to Welker in that category. He might even add a couple hundred yards rushing. Hernandez is a special player and will show it in 2012. 2. Brandon Lloyd will have 75 catches. I believe Lloyd will have a pretty solid season for the Patriots but won't be off the charts. He is not the second coming of the 2007 Randy Moss. I can see him having around 75 catches for 1,000 yards and 7 Touchdowns. He is going to be the 4th option on this team behind Hernandez, Welker and Gronkowski so those numbers will be great for a 4th option. 3. Rob Gronkowski will have 10 Touchdowns. I think Gronkowski is going ...

AFC  AFC East  1. New England Patriots 15-1 The Patriots made sure to Improve the Defense in the Offseason adding Hightower, Jones and Gregory. Winning 13 games in 2011 with the 31st ranked Defense was Incredible, with an Improved Defense in 2012 15 wins is not out of the Question.  2. Buffalo Bills 9-7 Added Talent on Defense with Williams and Anderson will help but I still don't think they have the Coaching and consistency on Offense to make the Playoffs. 3. New York Jets 5-11 This is gonna be a train wreck. Tebow will start by week 10 but by then it will be too late. This Team will be lucky to win 5 games.  4. Miami Dolphins 3-13 Rebuilding is an understatement. This Team has very little talent, they have a long way to go. I believe Tannehill will be solid but he will have his rookie struggles and he has no weapons to work with.  AFC North 1. Baltimore Ravens 11-5 The Ravens Defense is aging and the Offense still needs to prove it can ...
