Eric Berry is key to replacing Husain Abdullah
With Husain Abdullah gone, Eric Berry could be the key to the Chiefs nickel defense.
One of the pressing questions left for the Chiefs to answer this offseason is how they will replace the role now vacated by Husain Abdullah after his retirement. Over the past several seasons, Abdullah gave the Chiefs a defensive advantage by allowing them to further develop a hybrid safety/nickel linebacker position that the team could rely on. In his absence, that role is now in question. And the Chiefs need to come up with an answer quick.
