Prediction re: McCourty
 
He will be our starting left CB by the end of the season. I have been a Butler fan, but this kid looks like the real deal.

I like McCourty a lot, but this overreaction to Butler being a little slow to the corner on Bush and having one illegal contact call on him is bizarre to me.

Totally agree with you here..... Butler is gonna be a fine CB.

Butler did not look anywhere as good to me and I studied the game thoroughly last night. Thank you DVR.

Not all of Bodden, McCourty, and Butler can be conventional starters, although arguably the nickel back is a "starter" too.

So saying McCourty will start is not necessarily a major dis of Butler.

That same slide show praised Hernandez for his play, and in particular for absorbing a "vicious hit" from Randall Gay.

I agree CBs can hit TEs hard on occasion, but still ...

McCourty, maybe a very good nickel this year but IMO Butler, maybe the best CB on the team

He will start whenever we start a game in the nickel, that's it.
