Butler vs. Jones

[UNC-T]

Was at the game, and remember two things happens with this matchup:

1) Butler getting picked on at one point in the redzone, and batting down like 4/4 passes in a row.

Bad-ass.

2) The Julio Jones TD catches.

How many catches were his fault vs. the safety?

Is Butler redeemable (as a Nickel)?

I feel like the answer should be yes, but that still doesn't help us at the #2 CB next year.

He didn't do terrible, but I'd rather have Claiborne on the outside. Having Gamble is great but he doesn't matter that much when teams don't even have to look his way because of Munnerlyn and Butler. I like him, but Captain really shouldn't be more than a dime corner on a good defense.

Hogan is killing me. If he's good, I'd like a secondary of Gamble, Claiborne, Hogan, Butler and Munnerlyn in that order. They could be good behind a strong pass rush.

The pass to Julio was apparently Munnerlyn's fault. He made a coverage change pre snap- miss communication from him to Butler. (Heard this in Riveras press conference).

I thought Butler did a great job against him down in the redzone.

even on the goal line play Jones scored on Butler just fell, it happens

he played well

[ItsPantone278]

Butler was playing much better before he left the team to tend to his daughter's heart surgery IMO. He's one of the many players being carefully evaluated at this point. Don't think he's done much to edge Capt, considering Capt contributions on ST.

The only thing that kept butler from shutting Jones down was the one long TD pass. He could have made the tackle and Martin SHOULD have made the tackle but like we have seen all year, Martin takes terrible angles. If you watch the play Martin plowed into Butler not Jones resulting in Jones running down the field with no one around him. Terrible safety play.

Who cares. I gauruntee that Captain Munnerlyn and Bulter will not be on the team next year. The only CB we will keep will be Gamble. I'd put money on that.

[JawnyBlaze]

Don't think we'll keep Hogan? I disagree.

[Cpt slay a ho]

what i dnt understand is do defensive coaches not believe in double coverage anymore, i mean wtf, yes week 1-5 i can understand but after you have solid tape on a player there shouldn't be a reason they beat a secondary...........to be honest yeah didn't have a problem with the d yesterday sas far a s a gameplan but what i do have a problem with is if you see that there goin to julio why not double him?.........Bulter did a good job yesterday, Martin is just a weak saftey, notice there wasn't any big plays on gamble and godfrey side....smh

I can't believe they'd let them all go.....

[Munch4455]

Gamble, hogan, captain stay. Captain is our best special teamer at the moment

guarantee it, huh?

Care to put a wager on that? I would bet that Gamble, Munnerlyn, and Hogan are all on the team next year.

Put up, or shut up.:D

I'd take that bet in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact I think both Captain and Butler will be back next year, with a better pass rush to help them out.
