Addae is a nice player, but he gets graded on a curve when the Chargers have a guy like James that can play single high OR get down in the box. He's what Berry was for the 7 or 8 games that Berry played over the course of his career where he was completely healthy.
And Berry covered for a lot of issues on the other side of him.
I just don't think your best safety can be a box safety type. That's what the Giants try to in building their secondary around Collins and I just don't think it works all that well for them. An elite rangy safety can do a lot to make up for the shortcomings of a very good box safety but I don't think there's nearly as strong an inverse relationship there. I don't think that knife cuts both ways.

They had Philips back there too, who I wouldn't be opposed to the Chiefs taking a look at.
Yeah, having that "HOF" type safety back there makes a big difference.
Which is why the Chiefs are about to sign Earl Thomas in a few weeks.
