I think Mays will still be making the big hits and hes that fearful presence on the field.

See and thats what I don't like coming from a defensive player. I think to be a really good defensive player in the NFL, you gotta be willing to get nasty, downright and dirty, get in there don't avoid the contact. All the great defensive players do this, and how can anyone improve their tackling skills if they avoid contact? That's the way I look at it.

As much as he is praised for his athletic ability, that'll only get him so far. Its not enough. To be a good safety in the NFL, it involves more. You gotta be willing to be mean, dirty, and nasty. All the great safeties possessed those characteristics from Ronnie Lott to Troy Polamalu, and even Kenny Easley.

To be a great safety its like you gotta have a bit of both linebacker in you, and cornerback in you. I see the cornerback in Berry, but not the linebacker.
