The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny, Only NFL Podcast. One of the hosts heard Keon Coleman is in the dog house and said, me too. That's Lenny, I'm Mina Kimes.
We're gonna be talking about Keon Coleman today because we are talking about the Bills. We're also talking about the Patriots, the Dolphins, the Jets. It's time to preview the AFC East. And to do so, I have a first time guest, which is so exciting. I have gone on his podcast. He does an excellent job covering the Bills, but I also believe he is phenomenal covering the entire league, which is why I asked him to do this. It is Anthony Prohaska from Cover One. His podcast there is called Disguised Coverage. Welcome to the show.

**Anthony Prohaska** (1:12)
Thank you very much for having me. I'm pumped to be here after having you a couple of times on my show. And I tried to come up with like a dog pun in my head, like you lead off these with, but I didn't come up with anything good. Yours was good. Well done. Well done.

**Mina Kimes** (1:24)
It's hard, you know. I always relish new people coming into the league because I need new names to play off of. By the way, are you wearing an Arrested Development shirt? I just noticed that.

**Anthony Prohaska** (1:34)
Yeah, it's a Bluth. Bluth Bananas T-shirt. Yeah, thank you.

**Mina Kimes** (1:38)
All right. So last week, we did the NFC East. AFC East is very different. It is very much a.
Division of the haves and the have nots, there are two teams that are, you know, one was in the Super Bowl, one is perennial Super Bowl contender as of late, and then there are two teams who are rebuilding. One of them is a little bit more confusing or not confusing, but.
Okay, well, obviously I'm talking about the Jets and the Dolphins. The Dolphins we know are rebuilding. I have some, there's stuff to talk about with them. I think I'm interested in getting to the rebuild, the players, the young players, the core, what they're going to get out of Malik Willis. The Jets are a little bit like, I don't know, man. Like you look at them and they might not be that bad, but they also could be. So we'll talk about them. We're going to talk about the Patriots first.
And look, I'm trying to spend too much time on this one because I had the Patriots both in my top 10 offenses and my top 10 defenses pod. I had the Bills, I think it's the number two offense. So we'll obviously get to that in depth. That's your account. And I have a lot of questions for you about the Bills. But starting with the Patriots, yeah, the defense kind of snuck in for me at 10 The offense, I don't know. It's funny because I think I had them four or something, which seemed to take Nate by surprise. And talking about the pats on ESPN, it feels like everybody is convinced this team is going to take a step back with the harder schedule. But Anthony, one would assume the addition of an AJ Brown would mitigate that to some degree. So we should just start there. That's the big change. The receiving group is completely revamped. We've got AJ Brown, Romeo Dobbs, some combination of DeMario Douglas, Kaishan Booty, Matt Collins, Kyle Williams. They drafted a tight end to pair with Hunter Henry. Unfortunately, it lost Julian Hill to injury. The backs are the same, Stevenson Henderson. They added Reggie Gilliam, who is somewhat filling your face for you, bringing back Josh McDaniel's beloved fullback. Then the offensive line, they did draft Caleb Lilmoo, but it's unclear if he'll see the field this year. Will Campbell staying at left tackle. He signed Elijah Fair Tucker to play guard, who is a good player when he's been healthy. But let's focus on the receiving group first. How improved is this in your mind?

**Anthony Prohaska** (4:01)
I think significantly.
I personally like Romeo Dobbs a lot. I, you know, not to even get into the bills already. Like I value is a separate conversation. I would have had rather had Romeo Dobbs in his contract than DJ Moore and everything that the bills paid for DJ Moore, but you know, separate conversation. But Dobbs, I mean, really good elite separator in the low red zone technician, you know, good on out breakers. It just the process of how he operates in and of itself, I think is good. And then you pair him with AJ Brown, who might not be the AJ Brown of old or prime AJ Brown or, I mean, who knows if we're reading the tea leaves, maybe, you know, everything else that was going on in Philly was, you know, kind of contributing to him not being the full version of himself, but physical monster, even if he is not the prime version of himself. And you add what he can be down the field from a size and speed and explosion perspective. So him and Dobbs at the top is a tremendous one, two. And then I like where it slots in everyone else. Matt Collins now gets to be more of the dirty work grinder, kind of like what he was with the Bills a couple of years ago.
