Default Congratulations to Darius Butler and Whoever the Hell Coached Him Up

GREAT reclamation project.

The kid has shown great improvement the past 3 weeks and was simply lights out today.

Tough times make tough people and this is a wonderful story (and GREAT for our secondary depth).

Not sure how you can call him a reclamation project when he's only a 2nd year player.. But, that being said, He has done a helluva job the last few weeks..

C'mon Dabruinz - - he was buried after the third game of the season and was sent back to remedial class. They replaced him with a UDFA (who played out of his mind, himself) who had previously been strictly a special teams player. He barely saw the field for the next 10 weeks. It was a huge comeuppance.

Pretty good game. If he could learn to turn for the ball the way McCourty has he'll be very good. I'm still high on the guy -- only in his second year, after all, in a position that takes time to learn.

I always thought he was unfairly blamed after that Jets game. He struggled, no doubt, but so did McCourty in that game. But he's still too young to give up on.

He played well today. I wish he would turn his head around a bit quicker, as he had a few opportunities to make some picks. But yeah, playing much better than at the beginning of the year.

Arrington struggled today though. I wonder if Butler will overtake him at some point. Good to see him at least playing well enough to discuss though.

This is excellent news. If his play continues to improve, then we will have three solid corners next year when Bodden comes back.

I think he lost his confidence and needed to regain it, he played very well in his rookie season.

Again. He's a 2nd year player. You can exaggerate it all you want, but it doesn't change that fact.

OK, Dabruinz, he's been fine all along and hasn't made great strides coming from being buried on the bench.

Happy New Year.
