Injury / Practice Update

Aaron Berry is shit anyways. I mean, he's an upgrade from fucking Rashied Davis playing CB, but outside that...

I think Alphonso Smith has made more plays for us - not just last week either.

He's a Faaaaaaaaaaaaaar cry from his partner at Pitt

I remember when he worked out with Revis and several here thought Berry was gonna be a no doubt starter.
 
The coaches like Berry's upside because he is big and physical. But when people said him working with revis would make him great....not so much. I think he could be decent but what separates him from Revis is his athleticism. He doesnt have the fluidity in his hips to turn turn or the speed to maintain closeness. So he gets seen grabbing or he gets burned. Smith is a turnover threat but isnt a cover corner so it can get ugly quickly when he is out there.

Have Smith cover the slot with Wright and Houston outside once theyre healthy and we should be good to go. Smiths play had to be part of the reason why they were so fast to drop Mcdonald when we had no depth at the position (the other part was Mcdonald plain sucked and didnt seem to care that he sucked). Unfortunately, both of our starters went down soon after lol.
