Something else potentially missing is that the safety has the power to make his own blitz calls. A few years ago, Berry was I think one of the most blitzed safeties in the nfl. I have to wonder if our safeties are well enough equipped to make the right calls. You don't need a super athletic safety to do it. Jim Leonhard was terrific with the Jets in that same role.
