Injury update [everyone's up except DOD]

[CoMoChief]

Does anyone really think Berry will make much of an impact other than being a coach on the field?

FWIW, I want EB to come back and be a force just as much as anyone here. But is that a legitimate reality?

I understand the field general part helps, he knows the defense and can communicate and tell guys to do xyz, but from a production standpoint, in this chilled weather, does anyone think he's going to be up to speed and have that same EB explosiveness and close-in speed we're all used to, on a gimpy foot?

My main concern is that something happens, or he's just not the same, can't cut or explode as well, and gets burned all game long.

Hopefully the front7 puts Brady on his ass and stops the run well enough to where it won't matter.

If he does get burned, it won't be all game long. Andy Reid isn't going to let that happen.

I want Berry to excel, but I can't imagine him being up to game speed after all the time he's missed on top of the chronic injury. Maybe SB with the 2 weeks off, but I think the Chiefs might be better off letting him sit this week. If he plays, I hope he proves me wrong. Whatever it takes to win.

Rotate him and Lucas and keep him fresh.

I've been one of the doubters that he can make it back and perform at anything close to what he used to be. I hope he makes me look like a complete idiot and proves me wrong.

lets be honest, if he plays as well as parker but helps get other guys in position its a W. lets also be honest he looked alot better than parker when he did play earlier in the season.

That is a ridiculously low bar to set.

He could be in a full body cast and play better than Parker.

Play Lucas. He’s better each time out.

0-2 with Berry in the lineup. It’s like the rest of the defense relaxes when he’s out there, presuming he will magically make all the plays. Berry can be a positive in run support, but he’s been a non-factor in coverage.

Are yall still peddling that "0-2" bs like the rest if the defense wasn't on the field during all four loses? SMH

[Shaid]

Was hoping for DOD to shadow their RBs.

[BossChief]

LDT says he’s a full go and that it’s up to coach where he plays. Gonna be interesting to see the starting lineup

Gonna be great if Eric can go the whole game...or at least till we have an insurmountable lead.
