Rodney Harrison praises Berry

[Hammock Parties]

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2010/7...iefs#storyjump

"Let me say this. Everyone always talked about me being a hitter and I look at the kid, Eric Berry, and I love this kid. I thought he was the best defensive player in college football. I thought he should have went number one. I know Suh is big and all this but I love Eric Berry. People say, 'Maybe you're a little biased.' No, this kid is phenomenal.

"I'm so excited about this kid because I think he embodies everything about a safety. He's strong, fast, athletic and will knock your teeth out. I love this kid. This is a kid that can be a tremendous football player for 12-15 years.

"I talked to Scott Pioli about possibly coming up to the Chiefs camp and possibly spending some time with this kid. I want to spend some time with this kid some of the keys and secrets of not only being in the league for a long time-- because anyone can be in the league with that type of talent a long time but the key is really making an impact. How can you make others better? It's not just about you, Eric Berry, because you're a tremendous player but how can you, as a young player, make other people better? That's where he's really going to make his mark.

"The great thing with Eric Berry is they're going to use him kind of like they used me. He's younger, faster and more athletic than what I was in '03 but I was in my prime back then. They're going to blitz him, he's going to cover tight ends, he's going to play center field, he's going to play half the field, he's going to play three-deep and come in the box. That's the versatility you get with a guy like that. He's going to play cornerback and in the slot sometimes covering receivers.

"That's the versatility you get with a guy like Eric Berry and not just having a guy like Suh that's going to clog up the middle. I like a guy like Eric Berry because he can do so many different things. He's versatile. That's why I'm excited about him.

"Romeo Crennel is going to blitz this guy and I wouldn't be surprised if he passed my 30.5 sacks in his career."

I may in the minority on this but I always liked Harrison as a player. You don't play that position for as long as he did without having some serious skills. Harrison may have taken some cheap shots at times but to me a safety is supposed to be an intimidator in the secondary. This is high praise from someone who I think is one of the best to ever play the position.

eric will know ,, late hit .. helmet to helmet .. low blow .. early contact and on field crying ...

Eh.

That's just Rodney being nice. And professional. Knocking Cassel would be a knock on Pioli, since Cassel's HIS guy.

Kinda like when you're out at a bar, and you meet a good looking woman. But she's with a real ****ing troll friend. You're nice to the troll, because you want to get in the pants of the hottie.

So, to sum up:

Rodney: Out at bar

Berry: Hottie

Cassel: Troll

when did rodney lay this on you?


or are you just assuming again?




i mean they DID play in NE together, so maybe rodney ACTUALLY , gasp, thinks he is a good player.

You can call Harrison whatever you want. But, he's one of the top 5 safties to play the game during the last decade. His reputation for taking cheap shots shadows the fact that he was a damn fine player with ball hawking skills that a very small percentage of guys had. Opposing offenses had to game plan for him and WR's feared going over the middle because they knew Rodney was going to drive straight through them if possible. Unlike Jared Page, Harrison took the right angle and took the opponent off his feet when making a tackle. I'de love Rodney to come to camp and teach Berry some tricks of the trade.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

It's called my opinion, Jason. Didn't know I needed confirmation from Rodney himself to post my opinion.

Very rarely do you hear a player talk shit about another player's on field ability. And you can see right through a lot of those comments.

It's like when you hear the guy being interviewed and they ask about the upcoming opponent - it doesn't matter if it's the defending world champs or Detroit, they all basically say the same thing.

"Yeah, uh, Detroit's got a really good team over there, man. We really respect those guys and we know they are really going to give us a fight."

It's bullshit, and everyone knows it.

And then the hottie get's picked up by a lawyer with a bad toupe' and a wad of $100 bills fanned in his suit pocket like a handkerchief and you're sitting there with the troll....

[xztop12]

Not really contributing a whole lot here, but watching Berry play in college i'd already say he was sort of a dirty player

[CupidStunt]

How old is Berry, 7? He calls him a kid every other word.

Yeah, it's dirty to hit guys so hard. Shame.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Man I hope this guy becomes something.

So you keep drinking until she isn't such a troll any more.
