Furthermore, the Chiefs just had their best season against the pass in two decades, yet Berry was mostly invisible and outplayed by Ron Parker. |

Sucks that he had a foot injury then the cancer last year. Seemed with the regime change he was really taking off in 2013 being it his best year as a pro.

Berry was complete as well. He was one of the best run stopping and pass rushing safeties in the league while also being, as I've highlighted earlier in this thread, very good in coverage. People just remember when he got abused by Gates and some others in his rookie season and latch onto those memories.
For God's sake, we had the guy playing CB in 2013. Dude played LB, FS, SS, and CB. He was a stud. |

It would be nice to have his athleticism at deep safety with the current t defense though.

That's not really comparing apples to apples. We used Berry more similarly to the way the Hawks use Chancellor and his responsibilities are entirely different from Earl Thomas'.
But I could field that argument. It doesn't say much to your argument, though. Earl Thomas is probably the best safety of the post-Ed Reed/Troy Polamalu generation. Saying we may have drafted him over Berry isn't really a slight on Berry. |

That's why I miss Berry so much. We were supposedly moving him back deep more. I was excited to see what he can do because he can cover well and make plays on the ball. (Sideline INT in SD a couple years ago).

It's a game of number$....and a great safety vs. a very good safety doesn't really matter as much as other positions. Its a terrible allocation of funds. If they are a liability (Lewis) it matters though.
I never liked picking a safety @ #5 and still dont. Berry was good...but wasn't even close to an Ed Reed type. He seems like a good dude..so my opinion is nothing personal. Last edited by BlackOp; 07-16-2015 at 10:19 PM.. |

He's a fine player and appears to be a good person. But his salary has never been justified and he's not a game changer on the field. |

It wasn't just sutton, crennel used him like that too. I don't know why. I've always questioned it.

Alright, I found some stats on the 2013 season. Anyone that remembers that year, we damn near had Berry cover the other team's TE exclusively. Here are some of the big names and numbers they put up with Berry blanketing them:
Jason Witten: 8 targets 3 catches 12 yards 0 TDs Brent Celek/Zach Ertz: 5 targets 2 catches 18 yards 0 TDs/1 target 1 catch 5 yards 0 TDs Delanie Walker: 6 targets 4 catches 43 yards 0 TDs Jordan Cameron: 4 targets 4 catches 81 yards Scott Chandler: 9 targets 3 catches 26 yards 0 TDs Julius Thomas: 5 targets 3 catches 43 yards 1 TD Antonio Gates: 8 targets 3 catches 21 yards 0 TDs Coby Fleener: 3 targets 2 catches 8 yards 0 TDs |
