Add me in with zilla.
I know the team's going to re-up Berry. But I am wondering exactly how much we miss him. |

It seems like the only thing that could make this work is to give Berry a shot at FS and see if he's an $8M free safety. The problem is in a contract year, can't imagine Berry would be too happy about that. |

And, much like DJ took a ton of heat for his play early on... lets not give up on Ford too soon either.
Yes that one play made me wanna pull my own teeth out with rusty vice grips, but it was exactly the same with DJ... an incredible flash here, an incredible bumble**** there. The kid still has plenty of time to prove himself. |

I believe he'll be playing CB before this season is over, the way our injuries have piled up. |

An 8 million safety better be more than a minor drop off when he's not in there..use that money for a top 10 press CB.

Well...I'm just wondering if Berry is important in Sutton's scheme...like linchpin/centerpiece important. If he could neutralize Gates and Thomas, I might be on board...I'm looking at the value in regards to KC. Much like Flowers wasn't valuable enough to this scheme.
I'm not seeing the "on field" impact that's worth what he will ask for...he was from the Pioli/Crenell days. Different defensive philosophy. This is year two..Sutton's doing pretty good at realizing what he needs. Next season will be interesting... Last edited by BlackOp; 10-11-2014 at 12:47 AM.. |

A Ryan scheme asks a lot from a strong safety. They do traditional in the box responsibilities like a tj ward. But they also have to have the speed to blitz which is why Cleveland paid a premium for Whitner. They also have to have significant football Smarts... Unlike most strong safeties, Ryan safeties play closer to the line and often act as an additional linebacker. Main reason for that is so they can make adjustments. Namely, it's berry who usually decides what he is going to do, and he has to communicate that to his teammates. So if he blitzes, he needs his teammates to adjust around him. I often wonder if maybe this is the part we are missing. Does berry have the football iq we think he does? |

I'll just throw this out there:
Berry's rookie contract makes him somewhat easier than normal to cut this offseason. We'd save ~5m in cap space, and "only" have ~3m in dead money. |
