Strange fascination, fascinating me. Changes are taking the pace I'm going through. - David Bowie, "Changes"
The New England Patriots have created a competition for starting spots in their secondary by eliminating the old crop of top defensive backs. It's a captivating situation, but that captivation is due to uncertainty. Regardless, the results of the changes in the secondary will dictate the success or failure of the Patriots pass defense.
Of course, it is easy to jump to the conclusion that the Patriots defense will take a dramatic step back without the assistance of Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner, Kyle Arrington and Alfonzo Dennard on the back end.
