By lining him up in the box, the Chiefs have gotten the outstanding run support he provides, but they've removed him from position to allow his natural playmaking ability to shine.

Berry? Never heard of him-does he play for the Chiefs?

I think the best years are behind Tamba Hali but Eric Berry still has a lot more years to tone his craft.
I love them both & would love both of them to retire as Chiefs I just know that's not going happen. |

I don't think lining him up in the box is the problem. Reed started his career playing strong safety in a Ryan scheme. Berry has the flexibility to move himself around, which includes ability to move himself into more coverage responsibilities. So I think the question is if Berry is doing this to himself or if he's following Sutton's play design. I agree with you that he should be playing back more but I also think that's possible at strong safety too if either he or Sutton would make that a bigger part of his role. When you're spending 1/3 of his snaps blitzing, then obviously he's not going to be in coverage. When you spend another third in the box, same.

I think all of you under value Berry. He is a run stuffer, physical player, leader and a large part of the heart and soul of our defense. Last season he handled alot of TE coverage and he was brilliant. Witten, Gates, Cameron, Fleener, Thomas did nothing against him. I hope we find a way to keep both.

Reed never lined up in the box nearly as often as Berry has in this defense, and adjusting out of that requires more moving parts than just Berry moving.

Used properly or not Berry is a potato chip. Too injury prone for me. Nothing against him and think he is a very good player BUT.....

You put those two names together in the title, and my mind starts wandering to this:

Hali makes EVERYTHING ELSE on defense tick. His energy pushes everybody on the field. There is very little question. |
