Frenz of the Family: Must-Reads Around the AFC East, June 13 Edition

New England Patriots

Tom E. Curran of CSNNE.com writes that running back Shane Vereen is settling in nicely for his second season.

Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston cleans out his minicamp notebook and reveals that the Patriots worked more heavily on screen passes than they have in recent years under Bill O'Brien.

Veteran running back Joseph Addai feels "like a rookie" in terms of his understanding of the playbook, according to Mike Petraglia of WEEI.com.

Miami Dolphins

James Walker of ESPN's AFC East blog points out one interesting storyline on wide receiver Chad Ochocinco: whether or not the Dolphins will allow him to be himself.

Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post writes that signing Ochocinco was purely a football move, and that Stephen Ross hasn't fully embraced the team's tradition (namely, the fight song).

Bleacher Report Dolphins featured columnist Scott Altman takes a look at how the Dolphins front seven fits into the 4-3.

New York Jets

Rich Cimini of ESPN New York has minicamp observations from the Jets, including increased focus on the 4-3 front and what Cimini calls a "significant" gap between quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow.

On the four-man fronts, Conor Orr of the Star-Ledger has defensive end Calvin Pace saying that four-man fronts could help the Jets defense.

Chris Gross of TurnOnTheJets.com explains why the Jets are smart to wait on an extension for tight end Dustin Keller.

Buffalo Bills

According to Tim Graham of The Buffalo News, ESPN NFL analyst and former head coach Bill Parcells thinks quarterbacks coach David Lee will be huge for the development of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com writes that wide receiver Derek Hagan is making an impact in practice.

B/R Bills featured columnist Josh Cembellin goes two-deep in his depth-chart predictions.
