The guy to keep an eye on is Rappaport. He is always the first to report and has high accuracy

So right now we are going on the premise that this guy was caught with drugs on a Thursday but still was active on Sunday??

Think.

Is his picture on a milk carton?

It was bad whatever it was. You don't bench a guy, IN THE SUPER BOWL, who has played 95 percent of your snaps, for match up reasons. As Rowe gets beat. And beat again. Philly touchdown! And beat again. I wouldn't touch him. Plus, the Saints don't need him.

Who would you target at slot corner? PJ isn't the answer at the position & Breaux is still a "unknown". We may not necessarily "need" Butler but we certainly require an upgrade at slot.

Rez?! Where you at

?

I absolutely have no faith in Breaux. Even when he was on the field he only showed flashes and earned a lot of penalties.

Rumor has it that it was marijuana and a missed curfew.

Yep. And Belicheck didn't want anyone from Philly to be able to game plan for it. So he didn't tell anyone, not even Butler.

Think.

At some point, the good people of Boston will like to know the "real reason" why Butler didn't see the field. Belichick was quoted as saying it wasn't disciplinary reasons. "We put the best players out there that gives us the best chance to win". Rowe gives you the best chance? Rowe lined up on Agholor OR Jeffries was a death wish. Butler is your best tackler, made the play to win your team a SB in years past, plays good coverage (95% of snaps) but doesn't play in the Super Bowl. That's some cold S*.

Credit Peterson and Foles for exposing a weakness.

I'll be curious to see how this unfolds in Free Agency for Butler.
