Who starts at the other CB spot against Detroit?

Personally, I'd start Butler and keep Arrington at DE

Hard to really tell, but might want to give Butler a go..

Arrington without a doubt. Has played solid corner, great run support and an excellent tackler.

I think Arrington too as long as he's not hurt. Put McCoutry on Johnson and I think Arrington can handle Burelson

They need 'em both. Lions are gonna throw, throw and throw some more. They have 5 receivers with more than 30 catches and Calvin Johnson will command double teams every route.

Maybe Butler will see more time. Arrington looks like Crable's replacement.

I don't get the knock on Butler's tackling. Personally, I think he has always shown himself to be a very fundamentally sound tackler.

Arrington has done decently in his place - but his missed tackle on Wayne yesterday was an absolutely huge point in the game.

Overall, the production seems essentially the same. I'd rather see the higher upside player in there, Butler, and hope he develops.

The Dynasty

Pats dont matchup their corners with WR's, they play sides of the field. McCourty is generally on the left, while Arrington/Butler the right.

Mack Herron

Arrington got smoked in the first half (including a missed tackle and inability to find the ball on several throws (a previous complaint of Butler)), and I was not surprised when he was replaced by Butler to start the second half. Arrington played on the line and in the slot, as well as STs. Butler played well outside, and I expect him to get the start in Detroit. Taylor, Wilhite and Page are all on the verge of coming back, however, and they will have to take other people's spots.

Arrington had a tough half against a top 5 WR in wayne.
experience he will learn and move on.

what did butler do in his chance.


also we do not rotate corners. a reason when wayne moved inside in the slot he was matched up against chung a thing i want to see them change by pulling merriweather in and pat falling down as the safety.

next time/
