Further removed from his 2011 major knee injury, Berry is a breakout candidate under new coordinator Bob Sutton. Sutton has coached far less talented safeties to huge statistical years.

But really, this isn't the worst thing in the world. I expected it and frankly, if I were in charge of this defense, I'd do very similar things. %s might be different on snaps but from a philo perspective, I understand why both Romeo and Sutton are using him ITB in sub alignments. |
Heh, this indicates to me that the Stevie Johnson block did change him as a player, and that KC doesn't truly trust his knee's health too.
