Massachusetts has a sushi buffet place (Minado) that I'm going to have to try one of these days.

Your comments should be viewed in the context of most teams in the NFL ,and the way we USED to view the situation as Pats fans. A starter, and a premium drafted rookie, and backed up by two average experienced pros at the position, is above average for a position; and constitutes what used to be thought of as "good depth", before Belichick spoiled us.
Even in the early SB era, we had three and three. Two starters outside, and a reserve; two starters inside and a reserve. And its not like the Pats had those three for their championships runs, either. TJ got hurt and missed a year and a half. Colvin got hurt and was lost for two years, as well.

the problem with this is that we need TWO OLBs that a good starters and i wouldn't call woods and Nin "experenced" pros

So you like this group of OLBs? I agree it would be a good list if there were two high quality starters above all these players but as listed it is the worst group of 3-4 LBs in the league.
During the Superbowl years... damn I miss those days the Patriots had 3 very high quality starters and then almost zero depth. Vrabel, McGinest, Colvin... and then an endless list of scrubs.
I'll admit that I am on a rollercoaster, sometimes I can talk myself into believing that the defense will be ok, not good, not great but just ok. Similar to last year. Other days I have visions of teams running to the defensive right, over and over and QBs having all day to throw...
In the end the season will come down to Brady, if he can win a couple of games by himself especially in the division things will be good. If he has a lackluster year like last year it will be a tough season.
