A pretty unfair thing to pin on Berry.

That wasnt a bad post, man.

Eric Berry has been a tweener linebacker/safety since Kiffen ****ed up his career at Tennessee.

I just wish Andy Reid and Bob Sutton would be FORCED to ONLY watch Eric Berrys tape from his freshman and sophomore years at Tennessee,,when he was a GAMEBREAKING playmaker.

If Berry is gonna earn a mega deal like Byrd, he needs to impact games by forcing turnovers.

I think that Eric Berry can be this defenses Brian Dawkins.

I also think Brian Dawkins was the heart and soul of those great Philly defenses.

That's foolish. You probably believe I was on board with the Fisher pick.
Hell I was one of the first contributors to SOC.

I was more or less 100% spot on all of last off season and season.

Because I dont whine and cry every time what I want to happen doesn't happen doesn't make me non subjective.

I will tell you this, there are a bunch of whiny bitches on CP the last few years and their response to anyone who isn't is "you are a homer".

Its hilarious and very quickly points out the fools.

This place is in panic right now over jack and shit. I think most of the people enjoy the negative.

In his freshman and sophomore years at Tennesee, Berry had 12 interceptions that he returned for a total of 487 yards and 3 scores.

That's the potential Bob Sutton is paid to unlock...not the 2 interception per year guy he has been ever since Kiffen got ahold of him.

The most overrated aspect of sports.

Leader where?

Wishy washy about what? That I don't agree with everything the chiefs front office does?

Because your offseason predictions are the same every year.

you mean the most UNDERRATED aspect of sports.....true leaders are born. Either someone is a leader or they are not. Berry IS a leader. Football is like war...and an Army of Sheep led by a Lion would defeat and army of Lion led by a Sheep...and if you doubt that then you don't really understand what goes on. :shake: you think the Ravens would've won the last SuperBowl without Ray Lewis? Or Seattle this year without Sherman or Russell Wilson? :shake: NO way!....and NOT just because of their play...it goes much deeper than that. Berry is the leader of the KC defense.....and if you don't believe me then ask the guys who actually play on the team and they will tell you the same thing.

If anything WE'VE ruined Berry. We asked him to get thicker and play near the line of scrimmage and now he's turned into a hybrid Polamalu. Our shitty coaching staff is hell bent on having an extra linebacker on the field... IMO Berry will never reach his full potential here.

In this case, it makes sense. One of the reasons you ask your safety to play closer is he does a lot of the quarterbacking for the defense. You need a smart guy who is a film room rat, and I think I've heard berry does that. Let's keep in mind that berry probably had one of the biggest adjustments last year. The Ryan defense is hard enough to learn, let alone learning to be a different player. I think berry will be a very different player in year 2.

Would rather have Jackson than Berry. That year he was hurt our defense was near top 10. We haven't had a better year on defense than when Eric Berry was hurt.

Eric Berry is our answer for lacking and drafting an athletic 3 down ILBer to keep on the field at all downs. So basically our version of Narvarro Bowman. Eric Berry has to make up for not only shitters like Akeem Jordan and Joe Mays not being able to cover any TE or HB but as well as any terrible backend safeties trying to play cover 1 zone.

It's a tall task for Eric Berry basically having to play with like 3 players on the defense that are good at what they do. And I think Eric Berry is asked to do wayyyyy too much out there and sometimes that kills us, because he's trying too hard for all the other bad players mistakes. When he should just be ballhawk Eric Berry, ala his rookie year.

Same could be said for Dontari Poe on the front 7 who they run into the ground until his legs melt.

wow, I can't believe all the berry hate... he is without a doubt one of the best SS's in the league. he probably is over paid for what he's asked to do...no safety is worth 11 mill a year in my opinion... but lets not ignore the stats. berry lead the league in sacks for all db's this year, and had the same amount of TFL's as fawkin tamba hali. i know we all earn for that single high safety that is missing in suttons system, but lets not take what we have for granted. berry's a force in the run game, and completely obliterated every other DB in the league this season when it comes to plays at the line, even chancellor. he made more takles behind the line than Patrick willis lol.

This x2.

Comparing turnovers is a bogus point.
