Rocky Top Talk, a Tennessee Volunteers community

I don't post much but I saw the on arrowhead pride and had to chuckle. Many on Arrowhead pride are arguing that the hit by punt/kick returner/3rd down back Leon Washington on Safety Eric Berry should be illegal.

Charles Casserly discusses Alabama S Mark Barron going in Top 10 and lays out how his ranking of Barron compares to other highly selected Safeties throughout the league including Berry. "So, how high do you take a safety? That depends on how important the position is to your defense. If it is important, then Barron qualifies as a top-10 pick in this year's draft. Here is how I rate Barron against some highly regarded safeties taken in the top 15 of recent drafts when they were coming out of college ... Rated higher than Barron: • Eric Berry, 2010 draft, fifth pick (Kansas City): Better cover skills, could cover some receivers."

"While he waits for surgery on his left knee, SS Eric Berry is on the practice field every day. He spends time with the secondary and defense and also hits the rehab area where he’s working all body parts except his left leg. Most players on the injured-reserve list disappear from the team"

I don't think we'll ever know for sure, but it's likely that Eric Berry tore his ACL on his own in a play that occurred after Stevie's cut block. It is possible that Stevie's block did damage, and that Berry's cut was simply the final straw. But it's also possible that Stevie's block did no damage whatsoever and that Berry was simply unlucky when he made the cut.

You have to check out this ESPN recruiting article about the Berry twins, Elliot and Evan. They are the younger brothers of our very own Uric Berry. They will only be sophmores in high school this year, but Pioli should keep an eye on them. Can you imagine a Chiefs secondary that is 3/4 filled with the Berry family? There is a picture currently on the ESPN recruiting home page of the twins. One last note, I apologize for the corny title, couldnt help myself, haha.

''If we had another game, I would have made it and I would have been ready,'' Berry said. ''But I have to tell you this: When the season was over, I didn’t do anything for about a month. I didn’t go out or do anything. I was supposed to go home (to Georgia) and I didn’t even book my flight. I just stayed in the house, watched TV. I just sat around the house. I wasn’t used to playing that many games. My body was just through afterwards.''
