Malcolm Butler!!!

Brady_Moss · Aug 15, 2014

I think it's safe to say that he WILL be apart of this team, during the regular season!! And what about this Tyms kid with that TD catch...just wow!!! Definitely reminds me of Moss...he needs to be on the roster, as well!!

MrNathanDrake · Aug 15, 2014

He's looked like our 2nd best CB in preseason/training camp so far. He's a gamer and is playing like a veteran. Even when he gives up a pass, he has tight coverage and then makes the tackle.

2 FF and a FR tonight.

He will make the team unless he implodes and plays terrible over the next 2 weeks.

MrNathanDrake · Aug 15, 2014

I like Boyce. I've been rooting for him. He just doesn't have any sense of urgency for a guy who is on the bubble. He still makes too many mistakes for a guy who has been around for over a year now. He will flash here and there but then he fades into the background. Injuries sure haven't helped his case. Reminds me a bit of Taylor Price in that regard.

Meanwhile, Tyms came out of nowhere and might steal Boyce's spot. Tyms would be a tough guy to cut. If you were to ask me who will help the team more this season, I would say Tyms at the moment. He has good size and he's catching a lot of deep passes, which offers good variety from our "pygmy" WR's. Tyms downfield blocking has also been really good tonight.

Jonas Gray has had a couple nice runs tonight as well. Someone to keep an eye on. Could be competing with Bolden and Finch for that last RB spot.

Everything I've seen says Tyms>Boyce. The only way Boyce makes it over Tyms is if the Pats decide that the 6th receiver isn't as important as having that kick returner. Or they decide to go with 7 wr's. Isn't Slater listed as a Wr on the depth chart too?

Browner who? Wonder if he is having déjà vu from last year with the likes of Thurmond and Maxwell in Seattle.

Honestly Butler plays the ball and the receiver clean and just has a nack for being in the right spot to make the play. I'm cheering big time for the underdog.

Will defiantly make the team now. Good for him

Butler competes on every pass. He plays every down like it might be his last (which is how every bubble player should be playing)

TruthSeeker · Aug 15, 2014

Both 29's played well tonight. Hopefully they both get their own numbers soon.

Tymes os suspended for 4 games so the decision won't be for a while and injuries may decide it when the time comes. Same with Butler making it for sure until Browner's 4 weeks are up. Then we'll see.

BradyBomb · Aug 15, 2014

The kid plays hard and makes plays. Deserves a spot on the 53 for sure. Definitely a fan of him and rooting for this underdog.

Only because the NFL refuses to create an ST position.

With Tyms being suspended for the first 4 games, I'm not convinced that it's an either/or. The real decision, if it comes down to one of the two of them, doesn't really need to be made until week 5.

Why is this stuff only crazy when I say it?

True, but NOW is Boyce's chance to show something and prove himself.

He's not going to get many chances in Weeks 1-4 sitting behind Amendola/Edelman/Thompkins/Dobson. and with Gronk back, Boyce would be lucky to ever touch the ball.

Its true though. Browner hasn't looked great in the past 2 games, and Dennard hasn't played. Ryan is being moved around between S and CB. Butler meanwhile has been on fire.

patsfan13 · Aug 15, 2014

I wonder if Browner will be used situationally against larger receivers and TE's perhaps as a S in some sub packages.

WIth this kid Butler coming out of nowhere, Dennard, Revis, Ryan, and Arrington for the slot. Safety may be a better slot for Browner,

Keep supporting him. You just look smarter and smarter while others look more and more clueless. No names need be mentioned.

jah · Aug 16, 2014

No chance until he lowers that 40 time.

Claiming butler was number 2 on the depth chart this past week was what he claimed, not that he would make the team. Most people agree he may and should make the team. Claiming he was ahead of starters at that time was absurd.

Sounds like you are the clueless one here.
