1. The secondary
The obvious place to start is a pass defense that gave up 329 yards through the air Sunday against the Steelers. Patrick Chung (pictured) may be the only consistent starter, and it's obvious he needs help around him. Devin McCourty, the only other player in the secondary who was drafted, has regressed. The Patriots were forced to play zone coverage in Pittsburgh, and it didn't work.
