This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

This is the best of two pros and a couple of Joe with LaVar Arrington,

Brady Quinn and Jonas Knox on Fox Sports Radio.

The bills made a big acquisition in DJ Moore.

We already opened the show talking about whether or not that actually makes them demonstrably better or not.

But it does raise a question to me of there is another team in this division that is coming off of the Super Bowl, not named the Buffalo Bills.

And that's the New England Patriots.

And I've seen a couple different conflicting sort of concepts on this because the Patriots coming off a Super Bowl means most of us feel they should be some kind of way. Now they're in their Super Bowl window. They should be super aggressive. They should do all of these things. I've seen a couple of guys that I think do a good job reporting on the team talk about the fact that New England is still being very calculated. They are treating this offseason like

they are a team that is building towards something long term. I think that makes a lot of sense

because now that we're far enough removed from the season, it doesn't have to be inflammatory

to talk about whether or not the Patriots are great or whether they were just hot. I don't know.

And sometimes that's tough to do. Like, I mean, you go back to weight loss. Like, how often does somebody lose a little bit of weight? And then those pants fit so they try and put them on on and then you realize the pants don't really fit right like the patriots have to be painfully

honest with themselves in the mirror not about the result last year but about where their team is

when they go into this off season i'm not sure if they're going to be super aggressive or if

they're going to stay the course well and the obvious connection there connection there, and I say this as somebody who covers the Tennessee

Titans on a day-by-day basis, is A.J. Brown and Mike Vrable, which a lot of people have

drawn those connections or tried to make those connections. Understanding that the two of

them, I know A.J. did an appearance, I think it was with,

is it Julian Edelman and Gromx podcast? I can't remember exactly where he popped up where he's

talking about how much he hated Mike Brable at the start of his career because he didn't

necessarily understand the way that Mike coaches, especially young, talented players that he's
