Coming into 2010, Berry is healthy again and ready to compete for playing time. Saine said the young runner's attitude through all of his struggles last season has been admirable.
"(Berry had) a lot of ups and downs," Saine said. "But he was always smiling, always had his head up. I think he's excited for this year, but last year might have taught him that you have to take every chance you can get.
"In general, he was pretty positive about everything. He knew he was still young and had a lot of time, so I think he kept that in mind."
As Berry's roommate, Saine said he is ready and willing to lend the youngster a hand.
"I can answer any questions that Jaamal has, and can definitely help him out with the playbook," Saine said. "I think that's one of the biggest things, when you're a younger guy you're pretty overwhelmed with what's going on in that area. So I can definitely help him."
