Glad to see Chung is good. Almost sure he would make it this week, but you never know.

 

[Mack Herron]

He is not in game shape, but a huge presence for the D. They have not been the same without him.

 

[blackglass3]

Butler is kind of a suprise.

 

[convertedpatsfan]

I wonder if Chung will start or not.

And wow on Butler being inactive. With Wheatley being cut, we seem a bit short on corners. Maybe this is an indication that Chung is 100%.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Oh come on Bill, Is Butler that really worse than Arringhton?

 

[italia44]

Only 3 corners active?.......don't understand this.

Arrington has completely shut down his side of the field two weeks in a row. I can't even believe I'm typing that, but it happens to be true.

As for Butler, I feel badly for the kid.

Yes, yes he is.

If you don't believe me, ask Braylon Edwards.

I'm guessing they feel like Butler is a liability against the run, and that he would likely get pushed around in this game. They get Chung back, so they are essentially going with a S over a CB, which I guess makes sense considering how badly they did against the run last week.

Butler was a waste of a draft pick.

 

[Mack Herron]

Looks thin. If there is an injury, a S has to play CB.

 

[crowell33]

Butler was a waste of a draft pick.

Despite all the evidence, I still have hope for the kid. Wilhite seems to have improved, maybe this kid can too.

Yeah if we have one CB go down who is playing nickelback? Meriweather?

 

[crowell33]

I think Wilhite stays at nickel and Meriweather moves to CB, IMHO.

 

[patsinthesnow]

I think Wilhite stays at nickel and Meriweather moves to CB, IMHO.

Makes more sense. Hope it doesn't come down to that.

 

[West Philly Patriot]

Wow. Butler not even available if someone goes down? That's bad.

 

[aurakilla]

Butler was a waste of a draft pick.

so many boards had the pats taking him in the first round I`m so happy they traded down and got him, makes me feel like he was less of a waste lol

You do realize that you shouldn't judge a player for 3 years, yes??? You didn't? Hmm.. Explains a lot..

What???????.......You don't judge a corner,by run support......They cover wr's......If 4 linebackers aren't enough for "run support",then you need to be coaching in Canada.
