After reading a few blog posts on the Pats D I found a pretty alarming stat that shows just how much Darius Butler is struggling.
Man, how much do the Pats miss Leigh Bodden?
There’s a ton of stats to illustrate how bad Butler is, but this one blew my mind: Opposing quarterbacks have posted a 151.6 passer rating when throwing at Butler, the second highest mark among 88 qualifying cornerbacks.
Let that sink in for a minute. 158.3 is a perfect score. So in essence, throwing at Butler has almost been like throwing at nothing.
He’s been targeted 18 times, allowing 15 completions for 207 yards, the most in the league. 198 of those yards came in the first two games since Butler played only three snaps Sunday against the Bills.
