Kyle Arrington, who tied for the NFL lead in interceptions last season, is open to playing the slot for the Patriots in 2012. Devin McCourty and second-round pick Ras-I Dowling could start on the outside. "When you're in the slot, you have to be able to identify to go anywhere," Arrington said. "So you've really got to understand where your help is on the field intensively. The discipline level has to be higher at that position. "You have to see things quicker (in the slot)...I like being where the action is."
