http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000468077/article/malcolm-butler-a- late-substitution-on-gamewinner Malcolm Butler wasn't even on the field when the Seahawks first huddled for the play that resulted in the Patriots' game-saving interception in Super Bowl XLIX. The Patriots originally aligned with their goal-line defense, featuring linebacker Akeem Ayers. Once they noticed three wide receivers in the Seahawks' huddle, two assistant coaches adjusted, sending Butler in to replace Ayers. NFL Media analyst Willie McGinest dissected the historic play on Tuesday's edition of NFL Total Access, highlighting the New England coaching staff's acumen in matching up with Seattle's personnel on the fly in a key moment. Butler's preparation allowed him to jump the route with confidence and beat Ricardo Lockette to the spot, but the Patriots coaches also deserve credit for heeding Bill Belichick's primary pre-game directive. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels passed along Belichick's message to TheMMQB.com's Peter King: "It's a 60-minute football game, and whatever issues we have, let's make sure we correct them, coach them, and fix them. That's our job." Butler was only in that nickel package because the coaches made the decision a quarter earlier to have the undrafted rookie replace a struggling Kyle Arrington. The Super Bowl hero was only on the field for the epic, legacy-shifting play because the coaches noticed an issue and corrected it. 這篇的重點在前面的推文中有板友提到 NFL專門一篇文章來討論這件事 SB hero Malcolm Butler其實一開始並不在場上 Pats派出LB Ayers來擋住Beast Mode 但兩個助理教練看到Hawks派出3 WR後,立刻叫回Ayers,換上Butler 影片裡可以看出助理教練大聲喊叫Butler的名字 也因此才有之後的pick 作者指出除了Butler英勇表現外,也該給教練們掌聲 Pats從練習的準備到教練們臨場的調整能力都令人佩服 如果沒有這及時地調整,Butler再強也無法在場邊pick囉 --
