I really had big visions of Berry running free all over the place in a Kiffin offense...

He's just so well suited to it, or so I thought.
Not sure what the disconnect is, but disappointed in him or for him, this year... one or the other.

If Berry was the smoking gun for this offense, I guarantee he'd be getting more playing time considering how much pressure Lanes under to not lose another game.
Berry just isnt as good as this board thinks he is. Just like Nuss and Perkins.

Can't break tackles or pass block

Me too.

Probably better suited to change positions to slot receiver
Posted on 11/10/26 at 5:26 pm to Meauxjeaux
Can’t get to the edge every time in the SEC like he tries to do

One of the more disappointing recruits in recent history. He hasn't been given many opportunities this year. He'll likely be on the move after this season.

He will go off somewhere next year unfortunately

Clearly, he’s not

He’s not that good. Get over his high school ranking. Means nothing as soon as they get on campus.
Now, could he be better in a different system? Probably. But he’s not an SEC #1 back. We’d be living in 2 and 12s and 3rd and 10s. And he doesn’t break big runs often enough to justify that and the other little things he’s apparently not doing at the level he needs to yet.
I like Berry, but he’s been unfairly judged based on his, what appears to be undeserved, crazy hype out of high school. Not his fault. I can’t imagine he’s back next year. I hope he has great success at his next stop.

i knew he had vision problems, but damn, he could have already had a couple of big runs if he knew how to move into the correct hole... or just stop running into the back of his own players

Same, I was hoping for at least third down and passing situations, but he can't break enough tackles

these are the rushing stats from Alabama
I see something familiar and it is disturbing on some level. No numbers here as I dont think the numbers matter as much as using only one rb. It seems to be a pattern of coaching in these games for LSU. STILL Even the goal line offense Kiffin started with stayed on the bench.
What say you?

He cannot block. You have to be able to block to get playing time.

Here lies the problem, illusions of grandeur. Because we “think” things and fantasize about it, and then when it doesn’t materialize we wonder what went wrong. I’ve seen it happen and been caught up in it myself where we read what others say, and think we have a championship based on hype. Then games are played and reality hits us and we wonder what happened.

It’s pretty easy to see the style difference between Berry (speed back that doesn’t run well between the tackles) and the backs that Kiffin always features.

He has always been a receiver ffs

You put a rb in to run the ball. You can sub him out. But stop not using your players. They are your resource. If you don't play them you are limiting your resources.
Posted on 11/10/26 at 6:14 pm to trussthetruzz
Surprised there wasn’t some sort of package to just get him the ball in space.
I thought teaming him up with Kiffin would maximize his talents honestly

What do they do when Sam checks out of the run play and berry wiffs in a block and Sam gets hurt?
If you can’t pass protect as a rb then you’re not going to see the fiend. End of story.

If that’s the only way he is used, SEC defenses will diagnose those packages quickly and scheme/shut it down.
As others mentioned, not being good in pass protection gets your QB hit and drives shut down quickly. RBs who learn the craft quickly are 3 down backs who get noticed by the NFL (where blocking is required as well).
