I don't think his crossing will be an issue with the role that Berhalter is looking for him to play.  Essentially, when we have the ball you're going to see Adams move from the RB position to an interior deeper lying midfielder role with he and McKennie playin in front of a flat 3 across the back.  His primary responsibility offensively will be to try to combine with Yedlin to free him up out wide (now with Yedlin moving to a wide midfield role with us), to maintain possession, and to try to win the ball back quickly in the midfield after turnovers (much like was his forte playing for the Red Bulls).  I'm not sure he'll need to consistently push as high as Kimmich does (or at least I think he does -- I only watch BM occasionally).  I gotta be honest though -- that's my interpretation of his role based on just a few minutes of Berhalter's interviews, so who knows what we end up actually seeing.  I could be way off.

What I think we lose is a consistent disruptive presence in the midfield after we shift back to our 4-3-3 defensively.
