Slimmed-down Chiefs safety Eric Berry starred in 2015, setting up next payday Read m

Slimmed-down #Chiefs safety Eric Berry starred in 2015, setting up next payday: http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl...#storylink=cpy … So, kind of puts to rest the box safety only talk and whether he's worth it, if you follow Louis Riddick. |

Berry is a really good safety, no doubt. Never said he wasn't. Is he worth 12 million per? I don't agree with that. I don't agree with a dime over 10 million as that would put him on par with Thomas. I've said that. Hell, you have really, really solid SSs like Reshad Jones making 7 million per. You've had good safeties here as 3rd and 4th guys that haven't let this team miss a beat defensively when Berry was out. I don't think you need to pay that kind of money to get 60 tackles and 2-3 Ints. |

There's this myth that Sutton runs this phjysical man scheme. He doesn't. We give a lot of cushion, which allows the receivers to get free releases and QBs to get the ball out quickly on shorter routes, which doesn't play well to giving a single high safety opportunities to make plays.

I was going off of BigChiefs opening post. I think the article mentions 4 years, 40 million or an 11 million tag, which is probably inaccurate. The tag should be around 9.1 million for a safety.

Again, Berry is no longer a strong safety and tackles aren't going to be a gauge I want to look thru at a safety. If my safety is making alot of tackles, whats that say about my front 7? To act as if the difference between Seattle's defensive front and the CHiefs, prior to this year, wasn't significant is a pretty large stretch. It's also not a fluke that the year berry moves to a predominately free safety role and plays his best football, the defensive takes the next step forward. That isn't solely because of Berry, as others are developing nicely. But it played a pretty large part I'd imagine, along with him being the defensive captain of the secondary. By keeping Parker and Berry at safety, you've got two extremely versatile guys, which as Sorter has so eloquently pointed out, is key in Suttons Ryan scheme. |

Entirely different scheme though, almost entirely zone based. |

Without Berry in 14 our defense was basically the same. I would much rather have an elite corner opposite of Peters. |
