Both of the Titans leading WRs, Tajae Sharpe (ankle) and Taywan Taylor (foot), missed practice today. This makes Dion Lewis their leading receiver.

This is admittedly a huge weakness for the Patriots; Lewis is a beast of a receiver and the Patriots struggle to cover RBs.

With those WRs hurt they can put a CB on him.

Maybe a job for The Duke.

I'd put Jones on him, man to man. Don't fuck around. Elandon Roberts can't cover him, you know it, I know it, they know it, Dion Lewis knows it, Elandon Roberts knows it.
 
Poor Malcolm, he's going to get beat like a rented mule. Too bad this one's not nationally televised and I'm going to miss it.

I like Butler. No one plays as hard as him................ but hes been exposed. Ill always thank him for jumping that route.

If he doesn't make that play, the Pats probably lose that superbowl...I will never say a bad thing about that dew.

Probably?

I have no doubt at all the next play wasn’t Beast Mode unstoppable stomping into the EZ.

The guy was a hair under 5'10" and ran a 4.62. He made the All Gulf Coast conference team after bouncing around in nowheresville where somewhere was the U of West Alabama. An inauspicious resume, to be sure.

He was a bit player in 2014 after the Pats signed him as a UDFA and we all know what happened in the Super Bowl. I don't need to say a thing. The following year he played very well, but every play he made seemed like a last second leap to tip a ball by a fingernail, but we saw that as a plus when it might be that he was undermatched physically right from the start and had to play at his absolute peak just to compete in the NFL, which to his credit, he did.

His play leveled off in 2016, I think that is clear, but we all felt forever indebted to him and refused to see that he was now a JAG (42nd ranked corner according to PFF). We felt like maybe the team slapped him in the face paying Stephon Gilmore the big bucks and benched him in last year's SB for reasons that can only be speculated on.

So, he signed for a 5 year deal for 12M per with the Titans with 30M guaranteed and is having a hard time even starting for them after getting burned like a forgotten basket of fries and Gilmore is playing fucking brilliantly.

So, it appears Bill was right. Again and after he took a TON of flak. It's going to be real interesting to see if he plays and what happens when he does.

Does anybody think we won't go after him like a nympho goes after a guitar player?

Hell, yes.

Couple qualms.

Bill offered him close to what he signed for eventually, and was rebuffed. THEN he decided to pay Gilmore. He got lucky Malcolm decided to gamble on himself.

And when the blue tent on the Pats sideline morphed into the mobile Shriners Burn Institute Butler should have started the 2nd half or come in on the second drive. Nothing else was working so you might as well exhausted all options in an attempt to stop them once. Bill was wrong.

All due respect, but the HC of the NEP did not say a single word that could've deflected all the heat he was taking. Most people would have caved and explained themselves and let the player dangle, but in Bill's football code you stand alone before you show up a player and he is just about the only guy in the football world that would take that stance. I happen to admire that trait.

We don't know what Malcolm did that pissed Bill off and violated that same code, but I'm betting that it is something tangible and understandable and someday we'll know exactly what it was.

I see ButlerGate as a convenient excuse why we lost that game, but I just don't think he was the answer. I think we lose just as bad with him, but we'll never really know. Hindsight is 20-20 and everybody's got a right to take the opposite stance if they wish. I'm going with Bill on this one.

To each their own I suppose.

But I’m going Butler all day everyday, especially in huge moments, rather than Bademosi, Richards, Flotsam, & Jetsam.
 
Also, Butler wasn't the ONLY reason why the Pats lost that superbowl. Butler is just the obvious option. The Pats still had a few chances to do things different.

IBIT. BB doesn't violate BB's code of football. To me it's as simple as that. Buck his code and you're a dead man walking; BB has promises to keep.
