I don’t think CB2 will be much of an issue.
It won’t be against average teams, but it will be against elite passing teams.

Anyway, I really don't know yet whether the second boundary CB is a "glaring need" or not. During the game tomorrow night, we may discover that the Pats have 2-3 guys who are at least adequate covering the right boundary, or we could discover they have zero.
The open issue is your characterization of "good" competition.I don't think that the Pats are anywhere close to deciding who gets paired with Gilmore yet. There seems to be a lot of good competition for that spot (and JJ hasn't had a chance to show yet). In spite of media reports & speculation, I doubt that Rowe has any significant "lead" over most of the other candidates.
You really think the Pats CB2 position is a glaring need? Clearly CB1 & the slot are covered. We’ve fielded some pretty good defenses with mediocrity out at CB2. It’s a system position.
So, you are saying that we can cover up the glaring need at CB2. IMHO, this does require some better play from our linebackers.
Too young.....Well give him a hug. My Daddy Cat went to Cat heaven 10 years ago.
He was only 64.
Richards needs to be banished to the Phantom Zone

As of NOW, we have a glaring weakness at outside corner (and backup outside corner). Your analysis that we have 0-3 spotlights that issue.
Sign Breeland! This defense won't be able to stop a nosebleed if mediocre Rowe is starting CB2.

Breeland would be an excellent addition. I’ve been intrigued by his skill set for a while now. I remember being interested in him as a FA since after the SB (but for the right price of course).
Rowe gets a bad rap here.Yea Rowe is good in spots and certain matchups. Not for the 71 snaps he had in that game.
I wonder if they plan on trading/cutting a CB after the game?

He has a major problem staying healthy but when healthy he has played well. He wasn’t one of the top 10 reasons we lost that SB.
