Wild Berry formation?

This might help jog your memory. . .Off the back foot, and on the money.

I was there I remember it just fine, but you can't make the claim that he is a proven thrower because of a pass from a trick play.

By the way, if you are trying to prove he can throw the ball well then that last sentence is rather oxymoronic.

EB played qb in high school too.
I don't care if he lines up at running back, wide receiver, or quarter back. I want to see Eric Berry with the football in his hands and plenty of green space ahead as much as possible.

And anyone can make one throw (not that I'm demeaning Lucas Taylor's bomb pass), I'm just saying even Arian Foster's throw on the run with a d lineman in his face to Hancock looked good--but he's not a proven passer now.

I want eric berry on offense so he can pancake block their defensive backs, just to emphasize how he owns them in every way.

I haven't had a chance or really the time this morning to go back to all of the game threads to see if it was talked about, but can we get EB to hold some after practice lessons on how to tackle. One play out of the many that immediately comes to mind was in the first half. MSU qb Lee drops back to pass and gets flushed from the pocket by a suprisingly good pass rush, he ends up tucking it and running it and after it was all said and done ended up with a pretty big gain. I think they went from about the 30/35 to midfield.

The thing that got me was as Lee was running he is coming up on Ellix who basically ends up lunging at him and pretty much just grabbing air. Lee continues on and the next player in orange you see is EB who put a pretty good hit on him before Lee could really even think about making a move. It was just so blatantly obvious how EB attacks the ball carrier and the rest of our guys seem to react.

Put him in as a receiver a few times a game. Use him as a decoy most of the time if you have to. This is like winning $10,000 from a radio station and turning down the prize because you're afraid it will make you ineligible for the $50,000 giveaway next month.

Preaching to the choir, v-man: malpractice, negligence, recklessness. The number of metaphors illustrating the absurdity of the logic that you don't play Berry on offense because he might get hurt are infinite. Did that argument apply to Deion Sanders? Charles Woodson? Of course it did!!!! And you played them anyway because you would be stupid not to.

I am worried we play EB on defense too much. We should also tell him to take a knee after all interceptions since returning them may get him hurt. Or we should leave him on the bench and just let the opposing OC worry all game about when we might unleash the fury that is Eric Berry
