Should we be concerned about this?
I would dispute that. Gilmore is our best CB. Butler is short and struggles to high point balls thrown over him. Against tall WRs, Rowe will get the matchup.What is going on with Butler? Why did Rowe start over him today? I find it hard to believe he has fallen from our undisputed #1 CB to our #3.

Agreed. And McCourty is easily the most valuable player in our secondary, if not entire defense.
Can you clarify the snap count before Rowe got hurt?Corner snap counts, week 2 at Saints:
65 -- 100% --- Stephon Gilmore
49 --- 75% --- Malcolm Butler
34 --- 52% --- Eric Rowe
27 --- 42% --- Jonathan Jones
I wouldn't put too much emphasis in to who did and did not start.
As noted above, the matchups based on the Saints roster meant it made more sense to use Rowe more on the outside against taller receivers and Butler on Ginn.
Not at the moment, but I'll see if I can get that for you.Can you clarify the snap count before Rowe got hurt?
You're a monk amongst men, Thelonius.....
I'm with you. I don't believe it was only matchups. And if it was - then he isn't worth nearly what he & his agent are seeking.If we're all gonna decide the only reason Butler didn't start was due to "matchups", we should at least all agree then that he is no way a No. 1 corner and not worth the money he was asking for.
Heh. Do you know my middle name, Joey?
Bravo! Now hunker down with that Long Island Lolita and watch GB/Atlanta. Enjoy!nope...but I gotta go sphere fishing in the a.m. Perhaps it will come to me by then...
