Has Butler Supplanted Bodden?
Did Butler start in place of Bodden? The Minnesota/Baltimore game ran over, so they didn't show the first part of today's game where I lived, but when it did cut to the game, I heard Jim Nantz saying the Patriots were starting 2 new corners today, and I noticed it was Wilhite and Butler.
Butler is a stud. What do you think? Oh, and how do you think AD is feeling now? QB12 |
Re: Has Butler Supplanted Bodden?
butler had a big play with that INT today. i liked what I saw from him against the ravens so it'll be interesting to see if his playng time increases

Re: Has Butler Supplanted Bodden?
This was weird to me. Bodden has played nothing but well his entire time in NE
Butler has been playing equally as well though |
Re: Has Butler Supplanted Bodden?
Nantz and Simms stressed how much tighter the Pats corners were playing this week vs last week against Denver.

Isn't that a bit of a quick reaction? Hopefully Bodden steps up his game as the competition in the secondary rises. Bodden is a good veteran ... I don't think Butler has him yet ... great competition though. |
Re: Has Butler Supplanted Bodden?
Both Bodden and Springs were demoted this game, but I think Springs is the guy who will see less playing time moving forward at CB. There's been talk of him maybe playing safety, but we're pretty stacked there.

Re: Has Butler Supplanted Bodden?
Bodden was more than just good in all of the games excluding Denver. I don't know how much was strategy... but wasn't there 11-ish catches on his side ?
Butler - looks good so far. |
Re: Has Butler Supplanted Bodden?
Bodden seemed to play quite a bit as far as I could see. I wouldn't read too much into who started the game. Many times the player who starts the game doesn't always play the most minutes.

Re: Has Butler Supplanted Bodden?
See I think who starts does say quite a bit. Looks like the coaching staff was disgusted with the pass coverage against Denver, so they replaced the corners and instructed them to play at the LOS, with virtual press coverage. We'll see if they continue with that strategy, or if its just limited to the Titans game plan.
