As per Reiss blog: Vontae Davis is out - which is a good thing bearing in mind he made a few plays against Brady during his Dolphins incarantion.

This means none other than recent AFC player of the week, Darius Butler, will be a starting CB against Brady et al on Sunday.

Generally speaking I wish all ex-Patriots well - except of course when they play against us.

Here's to Butler getting burned all over the field

Finally another team has a worse starting corner that we do!!

(I wouldn't worry about DPOW award...you or I could defend the Jags WRs and Gabbert)

Careful what you wish for. I am sure Drew Bledsoe was licking his chops thinking of little 'ol Troy Brown as a DB against him...

BradyFTW!

Butler is not worse than Arrington.

Fleener being out could be significant for us, too. He's been out for a while, but he's an athletic TE, and we all know how bad the Pats are at covering those types.

I expect Brady to lock on to him early and often.

I think Dennard starts over Arrington this weekend

Gregory/McCourty at safety
Talib/Dennard at Corner

I think Arrington will probably be in the mix at times though

Chung is still out with that paper cut that is slow to heal

Butler was AFC Player of the Week? How come we can't get guys like that?

Our DBs did get a sort of an award last week...no other defense allowed 35 first downs by the opposition,that is quite a feat!!

Butler was actually good on short plays over the middle. He was horribly bad on long plays down the sideline.

In other words, if he's on Lloyd, Patriots win. But if he's on Branch or Edelman, he can keep up.

Welker is too good for anyone.

Welker had an x-ray done on his ankle this past week....is he going to play?
