Looked really good.

Matched up against an experienced and still very dangerous D.Mason.
Made plays on the ball, showed make up speed.
These are the hallmarks of a great cover corner.
I can recall 2 plays in which his coverage on Mason was second to none and he batted the ball away last second.

Shows you what BB and co think of him matching him up against Mason and him coming through and making plays.

I thought that one time when he covered his receiver in the end zone was going to be called for PI but I guess it was not that close.

his coverage was flawless, turned when the WR turned both times and went to the highest point.

Butler is just another member of the Pats secondary that is very quick and is getting better week by week. I like this D a lot. Young, fast, smart.

Both the coverage in the end zone and the hit on Mason on the following play were perfect. Butler was all over the receiver without making early contact. He forced Mason to adjust and partially blocked his view so that the ball did not land cleanly, and he popped Mason right as the ball arrived. I was in Baltimore watching the game when that play happened and the whole crowd screemed "pass interference". Then they replayed it and the whole crowd was quiet. Not a single word of objection. It was obvious from the replay that Butler timed his hit perfectly right as the ball arrived. Clean play.

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

He played well, but he was beat by Clayton on 4th and 3 and the ball would've been caught 9/10 times. The Pats finally got some luck on their side.

Sorry, I meant to say in the last post that Butler forced Clayton to adjust in the end zone. The following play was against Mason.

I think we as Pats fans expected the PI because Hobbs used to get called defending that every single time, without exception (and to Hobbs' credit, it was a crap call more often than not). Butler played it perfectly though.

That was a fabulous play in the ez. On the live play it looked like it was all out of bounds anyway, but replay showed it would have been a TD if Clayton had come with it. Incredible contortion and determination to break up that pass.

Butler is very results-oriented. He's not just out there to be in the right place or use the right technique. He's out there to prevent pass receptions.
