before his injury.. he would take INSANE angles under blockers..his run support was nothing short of outstanding.

not writing him off, but he looked like he could barely run on that pursuit... gotta be playing hurt.

funny...what kept coming back to me during the Faid game was the loss of DJ.

I highly doubt they win if he's playing.

I know it's crazy but I think we have 2-3 more wins with DJ.

From my point of view, if Berry is not hurt, he's playing not to get hurt.

He's tentative, has taken bad angles and has either lost several steps or he's thinking too much. In any case, he's either physically damaged or emotionally damaged and isn't the same player we've seen in the past.

The loss of DJ was huge. Mauga's been very respectable, especially considering this is his full season since 2008, but he's not playing at DJ's level.

I agree with all of this.

DJ, apparently, single handedly, was an amazing run stopper. Amazing. No way we lose that game with DJ. Or get manhandled in the run game against Buffalo and Seattle.

Losing him really hurt.

that's a good way to describe it..., that SJ hit still pisses me off..at that point Berry was a rising star.

This. DJ can play the run AND cover. It sucks that he'll probably never be 100% again.

If we just catch one of those interceptions against the Faiders.

We dropped like 5?

People seem to forget Berry's best season as a pro was last year.

That 2011 injury really ****ed up the trajectory of his career, but he was playing the best ball of his career at this time last year. He's been dealing with that foot injury and now has the high ankle sprain. I wouldn't doubt it if he said he were 75%.

I wish we had the luxury of sitting him until he's 100% but we'll need him while Parker is playing CB.

Yeah....I think if Cooper was actually playing well....they wouldn't have had to rush Berry back.

I has a sad.

Losing DJ really ****ed us. At this point you could probably say losing Devito was a blessing in disguise, but DJ would make all the difference this season. I'm 100% confident that we win that game in Oakland with DJ. We probably win @ SF as well.
