Terez Paylor mocks us a CB

Breaking news... Sutton's defense features a "single-high safety"...

Berry isn't backing out of the box whether they have an athletic player at LILB or not. And the reason he isn't is not because he's there to defend the run, its because the single-high safety scheme is better set up to defend the quick passing game than a double-high (cover 2) type of look. And if you guys don't know that, go look it up, but this silly bullshit talk about two deep safeties needs to go. It isn't happening. The league is trending towards single high safety looks. Even traditional cover 2 guys like Monte Kiffen drifted that direction last year.

We are not talking about 2 deep safeties.

If you're talking about dropping both safeties "back" into coverage, I can come to no other logical conclusion. Berry is playing exactly where he is supposed to be in this defense and I don't foresee that changing at all. We need a deep cover safety, but they may be fine with Abdullah in that role.

They've been talking for weeks about Berry playing the SHS position. What rock have you been under?

If we had an ILB next to DJ that we didn't have to take out on passing downs, Berry wouldn't need to be dropped in the box so damn often.

That, along with a FS, would go a long way in fixing the coverage issues this team had.

Which may be a misinterpretation. Either way, Berry isn't changing positions.

You can stack Berry just out of the box.

I'd like to see him freed up a bit, that's for sure. He was much more of a playmaker in college when he was allowed to roam more. The kid can still cover and make plays, he's just restricted a bit by the scheme, but he's perfect for that spot.

I anticipate Berry playing a lot more out of the box this year in subs.


Granted, that's also banking on Commings being able to play FS so Abdullah can play ITB in subs.
