Default Has Butler Supplanted Bodden?

Did Butler start in place of Bodden? The Minnesota/Baltimore game ran over, so they didn't show the first part of today's game where I lived, but when it did cut to the game, I heard Jim Nantz saying the Patriots were starting 2 new corners today, and I noticed it was Wilhite and Butler.

Butler is a stud. What do you think?

Oh, and how do you think AD is feeling now?

This was weird to me. Bodden has played nothing but well his entire time in NE
Butler has been playing equally as well though

Nantz and Simms stressed how much tighter the Pats corners were playing this week vs last week against Denver.

Isn't that a bit of a quick reaction?
Hopefully Bodden steps up his game as the competition in the secondary rises. Bodden is a good veteran ... I don't think Butler has him yet ... great competition though.

Both Bodden and Springs were demoted this game, but I think Springs is the guy who will see less playing time moving forward at CB. There's been talk of him maybe playing safety, but we're pretty stacked there.

Bodden was more than just good in all of the games excluding Denver. I don't know how much was strategy... but wasn't there 11-ish catches on his side ?

Butler - looks good so far.

Bodden seemed to play quite a bit as far as I could see. I wouldn't read too much into who started the game. Many times the player who starts the game doesn't always play the most minutes.

See I think who starts does say quite a bit. Looks like the coaching staff was disgusted with the pass coverage against Denver, so they replaced the corners and instructed them to play at the LOS, with virtual press coverage. We'll see if they continue with that strategy, or if its just limited to the Titans game plan.

Belichick and Pees do change personnel due to match ups. It could be that they were making a statement by benching a bunch of people. It is too soon to tell if this was that there is a change in the depth chart, a particular match up, or punishment for a few starters.
