Default No action on Gay?

not sure about anyone else, but I'm mildy surprised that the pats are not even talking to Gay's agent. We build so much redudancy into the WR position (Marty booker?) , I think we are woefully thin at Cornerback now if Gay gets picked up by mangina. Assuming Samuel is gone.... that leaves us with the following options at CB:

Hobbs
Chad Scott
Richardson
?????

I know I'm forgeting someone ... help me out here. Does this mean we are a lock to go after a blue chip corner in the first round? Are we seeking a trade with Oakland for asumagha? (sp) what the dillay?

Look at our top three corners from last year - a 4th rounder, a 3rd rounder, and an UDFA.

Clearly, CB is a position that BB and Pioli are able to address effectively in the middle and later rounds of the draft.

You should change the title and use this pun....

No Gay Pride?

effectively? The CB position outside of Samuel was our weakest link.

Re: editing the title , can't do it, only the post
sort of makes sense. Belichick did the D-Line and then the O-Line.
Last year was skilled positions offense and Merriweather started the secondary changeover.

We'll be younger and faster next year in the secondary it seems to me.
None of this can be good for Rodney Harrison.

I disagree. Our weakest link was lack of a consistent and effective pass rush and a lack of speed in the middle of the field (ILB, mostly).
