Darius Butler

Like this kid, plays tough, tackles well.

That "kid" that you like so much is a man 5 years older than you are (and probably infinity more manly at that). But yeah, by all appearances Butler is playing his ass off.

[Catalyst]

He's starting? When did this happen? I thought Captain was still #2 on the depth chart behind Gamble?

I like kids.

[jasonluckydog]

I have a ton of them.

Oh okay

thanks for the heads up!

Liking the play by our CB's especially Gamble, 50% of this huddle should be bowing down considering 50% were calling for this dude to get traded or even cut (ridiculous).

I said it once and I'll say it again we don't need another CB, we will be fine with the guys we have. WR,OL n LB is what we need and wouldn't mind finding a lights out safety in the draft.

if someone would have told me 2 months ago that the secondary would end up being the strength of the d 7 weeks into the season - I would have laughed in your face and probably called you some derogatory names. This Butler pickup and the lock down play from Gamble have been very pleasant surprises.

you did. me.

i'm not a pig f**king tranny.

Might just be me but are we playing more zone coverage than in years past? Butler has looked solid, but I've seen him get a little too physical at times for borderline pass interference.

I think the main reason he got cut from the Pats was the game Week 2 against the Jets last year. He got beat deep a few times and got called on some crucial pass interferences. They also had some other talented young CB's...made him expendable.

I hate Hurney.

Had the privilege of watching some film this evening, and came away with two major impressions.

1. Chud is a tricky dude. It's interesting to see all the different things he is doing to get guys open down field.

2. And this is the main one. Darius Butler is playing lights out at times, and if he can keep progressing like this the Patriots are going to look like fools for letting this dude go. I am watching this kid and I have no idea how they let this guy walk. We got extremely lucky here. If Hogan pans out we are good at CB for a long time.

Yup, Butler had a solid game... like moving Capt. back to the slot, that's where he belongs.
