Re: Arrington to Unseat Butler?

More like a bad draft pick.

Overhyped from UConn.

Uh-huh.

Just wondering, what was your opinion of Kevin Faulk after 2 years?

Or Teddy, hell it hasn't even been two years yet. It gets harder and harder to hold your tongue around here.
 
Re: Arrington to Unseat Butler?

It's also the UConn comment. Poster doesn't realize that the guy who played opposite Darius at CB at UConn made the Pro Bowl last year.

Who are you talking about? I cant figure it out.

Terrible as an every down RB.
 
Re: Arrington to Unseat Butler?

Can you imagine what P Manning would do to him?

He already got Manning'ed in 2009. What a bull**** excuse for a pass interference call too.

Or Willie MgGinest after 3-4 years, Assante Samuel afdter 2-3 years, very few defensive players hit their stride in the first couple of years, they're learning insteading of reacting, once they've learned then natural ability takes over.
 
Re: BSPN: change coming at right CB?

I have never understood why we continually pick these midget size CB's?!

People either need to accept it and get over it and stop posting this every year or start hoping BB is fired soon, because that philosophy has and always will be the same. Bodden is probably the biggest corner BB will have ever added during his time here.
 
Re: BSPN: change coming at right CB?

So Arrington is ahead of Wilhite on the depth chart?

I'm not sure benching Butler would be a good idea. Buffalo is a great shot at a rebound game for him unless they were to bring Andre Reed back.
 
Re: Arrington to Unseat Butler?

Because he has tons of ability and if you track our previous top CBs -- Asante and Ty -- they had similar trajectories. In fact, Asante was behind Butler at this point.

But were not comparing Butler to Asante. It's A-R-R-I-N-G-T-O-N vs Butler.

Not everyone can dominate in their second year like Vrabel and Bruschi did.

i agree. unless you are replacing butler with a more physical CB, then I would let the kid develop.

Bruschi didn't do anything until his 4th year.
 
Re: Arrington to Unseat Butler?

I haven't really seen much of Arrington, but I think it's way too early to be piling on Butler. He didn't have a great game last week but he's still young, he's going to develop, and he's got a lot of potential.

I think Butler stays ahead of Arrington, though maybe they don't play him all the time, mixing in a few series for Arrington at the RCB spot.

The guy I'd really like to see is Wheatley, who may not play until after the bye with his foot injury. He looked solid during the pre-season in limited action.

I was answering a question about why we shouldn't give up on Butler. What do you want me to say?
 
Re: Arrington to Unseat Butler?

Even if Arrington starts on Sunday, I think it is too early to give up on Butler. They may be benching Butler as a learning experience. Things aren't looking good now, but who knows a month down the road.

i agree with you; well said
