Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers "Coaching Up" Tennessee S Eric Berry

A few weeks ago came the news that Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers has been working out with Tennessee S Eric Berry down in Florida.

Apparently, "at least once or twice a week" Flowers headed down to Berry's workout facility and helped him prepare for the Combine and his pro day.

"I think my performance at the Combine, what I did in my position drills, that showed what he did for me," Berry told Nick Wright of 610 Sports on Friday. "At least once or twice a week, he came to the training facility and helped me out on my drills. He got me prepared for the drills."

Romeo Crennel will be Flowers' third defensive coordinator in as many years so it's impressive that he's been able to perform consistently in two separate schemes.

"You could tell he has a good knowledge of the game the way he was coaching me up," Berry said. "I think I could understand it very well. You could tell he knows a lot coming from the Kansas City Chiefs. I think that has a lot to say about that organization."

Not only is Flowers "coaching up" Berry, he's also telling him that Kansas City isn't a bad place to be.

"He said it was a great city," Berry explained. "The fans are amazing. They're just like college, very passionate about their team and their city. They come in every Sunday with pride backing up the Kansas City Chiefs."

Kudos to Brandon Flowers for repping Kansas City. Here's the audio of the Eric Berry interview.

Great. Another article that will ultimately lead some of us Chiefs fans to Arrowhead with axes and pitchforks if we don't select Berry. Cool article though.

So is anyone going to tell me again how this is just some wild coincidence and how Flowers just happens to be working out with a player that's right in the wheel house when our pick comes up and just happens to be a pick of need as well?

The same way anyone will discredit any pick they don't like...

Smokescreen

Haven't you heard?

The Chiefs are planning to trade Flowers and the 5th pick to the Browns for Shaun Rodgers.

Hadn't heard that one

The chiefs might not pick Berry but they must be seriously considering it.

it will be interesting to see what happens if Berry and Clausen are both sitting there when we pick.

i wonder if that trade rumor with Cleveland will happen...

yea, noob question here, BUT...........
what's the rumor?

Holy shit, Nick Wright has one of the most annoying voices ever. How the **** is he on the radio?

And yeah, Eric Berry. Want.

Berry's and Flower's make me happy.... Time to turn the Page, and hand over the Carr keys to Berry's and Flower's....

Sheesh I'm tired. Best I got and it sucked...

I hate reading this shit. I mean, its cool that they're friends and all, but I'm gonna be so disappointed when Scott passes on him...

I've heard chatter about Cleveland possibly wanting to move up...but I don't think it's substantiated, and if they wanted Berry they'd probably have to move up to 4 to get him. And now that they surrendered more picks in the Sheldon Brown trade, I'd say not likely.

Heh, Berrys and Flowers. That's our version of unicorns and rainbows...Posted via Mobile Device

Cleveland already took Brady Quinn from us, and how did that turn out for them? Assholes.

Exactly! :clap:

If this happens, I will shoot you with Shaun's gun...:)Posted via Mobile Device

Nah. Berry is better.

lol. So your saying we take Morgan Burnett in the 3rd also?

Re-sign Mike Brown!!!!!!!!! On 2nd thought :Lin:

I think Bartee's must be coming back

This place is going to have a colossal meltdown if Berry is there and KC passes. I want Berry with the #5 pick as bad as anyone, but it may be fun watching posters lose their minds when Pioli grabs Okung, etc.

Pioli's draft history may not indicate that he'll go safety, but it sure as heck doesn't scream O-line either. I've seen Dan Williams brought up alot on this board and that would be a "Pioli" pick much more than Opooung.

I think that there are far too many of us that are fully expecting Pioli to **** up and pass on Berry, and that have resigned ourselves to that fact, that I think you're going to be not only sorely disappointed with the pick, you're also going to be sorely disappointed with the reaction.

I will definitely be disappointed if Berry is there, and is not the pick, but one thing I know for certain, I will NOT be disappointed with the reaction/meltdown on this board. Trust me.

Okung was just an example....you flew by the message.

You might see a meltdown, but I highly doubt it will be because we pass on Berry.

I've seen enough posts from the Berry camp to see that everyone is bracing for the near inevitable decision to pass on him.

People will be pissed, but the meldown will not be epic.

Sure did, I missed that nasty etc. :doh!:

Yeah I don't think any of us that believe we will end up with Dan Williams would be the least bit upset if it somehow ended up being Berry.

:facepalm:

People are trying to downplay their love for Berry and the idea of KC snagging him. It will be epic.
Posted via Mobile Device

Jesus, you have reading comprehension issues.

No one is downplaying "their love" for Berry.

Everyone is talking about Berry, and saying that Pioli will be an idiot for passing on him.

But they are expecting him to be that idiot.

They are going to be pissed, but they are already resigned to the very real possibility that Pioli will pass on him.

That the Chiefs have had discussions with Cleveland about them trading up to get QB Jimmy Clausen if he is there when KC picks.

The idea would be that if Clausen and Berry are still both there that KC could trade down 2 spots with cleveland and still get Eric Berry.

Thanks, man. Hadn't seen that one yet.

19 days bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to be seriously deflated if/when we pass on Berry.

I'm prepared to instantly make him my favorite player, and find the most expensive Berry jersey I can find.

I'm from TN, LOVE the Vols, have followed him his entire career, and played FS my junior year before taking over at QB(even though I was amuch better S than QB, but the starter had a season ending knee blow, and I got to spend an entire season embarassing myself at QB)

Needless to say I will rejoice if he holds up the red. I have dreams about it.

How the **** does Pioli have a draft history

well see here on cp if its something negative its piolis draft history.

positive? its that pioli had nothing to do with the draft.


hell if pioli drafts clausen hell get no credit it will be all weis.

if he drafts berry? no credit again, he just did what he should have done.

okung? its all pioli and hes an idiot.


hell the headless horsemen discredit pioli and bb on the brady pick. do you think he will ever do anything right?
Posted via Mobile Device

Just to be clear, when I made the "draft history" comment in this thread it wasn't to bash Pioli at all. I just think that given his history he would grab a guy like Williams over Opoooung, especially since you know we already have a LT :thumb:

I think you're wrong.

I believe that the "headless horseman" have all given Pioli credit for good value in the Thomas Jones acquisition.

lol youre right there, although most bitched about it right up until it happened. it would be for too much money, too many years.....

and i was basically talking about the draft. they have already built in the excuses
