But he still came up big and caused a lot of turnovers this season. In fact, he's usually trying to rip or bunch the ball out. He has also excelled (as usual) in coming up to play the run. They also used him a lot more on corner blitzes this season. I'll take that.I don't think he had that bad of a year. He's competitive even when he gives up catches. He plays hard, and forces fumbles and incompletions even if he's initially beat. Did we expect better? Yeah. Is he terrible? No.
He bites too hard on moves early in a route. Why he's doing that, I don't know. Too anxious to make the big play jumping a route perhaps? I'd like to know what other teams' book is on him.
Just not having the kind of year I expected. Is it psychological ? Is he not getting the help with some WR's he used to? Anytime someone caught the ball Saturday I was looking for 21 trailing the play, ok sometimes it was Rowe . Can he turn it around for next games?
What about his free agency worth now, has to be down . Man the saints lucked out with Lattimore . Don't remember were we hoping for their 11th pick ?
What's Wrong With Malcolm Butler This Season?

First TD was a hell of a catch. Last TD was garbage time.
Butler has been getting beaten more on cuts of various types this year, which seems like a focus and/or film study issue, but I didn't see him as having a terrible game on Saturday.
Also thought Bademossi did well, since then though he hasn't been activated many games....strange to me . Just remembered, J Jones got hurt with Titans...anyone know if he is ok?I thought Bademosi outplayed Butler when he had to play. Which is pretty damning for Butler.
Not sure what you expect and why you could see anything bad Saturday. Outside of one drive, and the garbage time drive against backups Tennessee had something like 40 plays for 65 yards.Just not having the kind of year I expected. Is it psychological ?

He gets beat by quick cuts and go routes with really fast receivers. Just like every other OK CB in the league. He is not amazing; he is not awful. And he is forever a hero because of what he did in SB 49.
Let me remind you lot again. Hobbs, o’Neal, Wilhite, Wheatley.
Now Butler, Gilmore, Jones, Rowe.
