I simply cannot get over how different the halves looked in the Chargers game. It was truly extraordinary.
So the question, now that we've seen the Raiders and Colts games, is an obvious one. Was it a result of getting Eric Berry on the field or getting Ron Parker
off it?
Because the defense has looked damn good with Lucas in there assuming Berry's role of late. And if starting Berry 'on a snap count' means that we have to send Lucas in there in the 2nd half or 4th quarter cold - I think I'd steer clear of it. Maybe if it was just a 'Berry for 1 quarter to fire everyone up and then Lucas' plan, I'd be on board. But we simply cannot find ourselves with a need to switch horses mid-stream.
If Reid isn't confident that Berry can play the whole damn game, I'd activate him but keep him exclusively as a reserve in the event Lucas or Sorensen get injured.
