It's easy, and only takes a few moments.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.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.

Apparently the globe likes what they saw as well:

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

Maybe Butler is just better suited to play slot corner than McCourty.
On Bush's touchdown I do not remember anyone setting the corner - who set the corner on the play? Are you saying that DBs are suppose to set the corner? Or was Butler in man-to-man and someone else was suppose to contain? Does anyone remember the play?
Butler had outside contain, but Wright was supposed to set the edge and force the runner to turn upfield or go wide left. Wright was stiffed, which left Butler isolated, because Mayo was shooting the inside gap, Sanders was sealed off by the WR, and Spikes was flowing from the far side. Butler could have done better, but my money would be on Bush, even if Butler read the play correctly. If Wright had gotten upfield, Butler would have had time to slow-up Bush and Spikes might have gotten in on the play, although with Butler's misread, Bush still might have made it to the pylon.
