Aaron Berry Apologizes For Tweet After Loss To Saints

when it’s never one player who wins a game or one player when you lose it.

My suggestion… play MEGATRON at CB or S next year!!

Missed tackles kept drives alive allowing Brees more opportunities to shred the secondary.

i think we knew it was coming, overreactions are part of the playoff mistique

too many stupid players saying stupid ass shit

Just like Aaron Berry, that being said he had to know this is how fans act when the team loses,especially when the defense played pretty badly. I was upset with how he and the secondary played but this is both sides faults. Twitter is just foolish.

Same with everyone else in our secondary except Houston and Delmas

This is basically his rookie year and he looks like a rookie on the field, but he’s been better in coverage than everyone not named Houston or Wright.

He knew what he had when he inherited that miserable 0-16 roster, he knew what he had to work with this year. The offense played like they were payed, at a very high level putting up record numbers. The defense played like it was payed as well, which is average at best and a lot left to be desired. Most of these guys aren’t payed that much, for obvious reasons like we saw tonight. There are one or two year deals for just about every player not drafted or who doesn’t play on the defensive line.

CB’s Chris Houston, Eric Wright, Alphonso Smith, S Chris Harris, LB’s Stephen Tulloch, Justin Durant, and Bobby Carpenter are ALL 1 or 2 year deals, which is the entire back-7 outside of the 3 drafted in Levy (3rd round), Delmas (2nd round), and Speivey (3rd round converted safety). There is good reason for that, Mayhew decided to invest heavily in drafting a quarterback first, putting talent and better protection around him, and patching the defense the best he could until he could draft and acquire better talent. That’s exactly what we got this year and why we were so bad against elite offenses.

Its not the wide-9 scheme like all of you have recently stated. That scheme is designed for the defensive line to funnel all the running plays to the middle of the defense, which it’s the back-7’s job to fill gaps or help with run support. The linebackers we got are average at best and our secondary is too puny to stop anybody. This is why we are so bad at run defense.

As far as pass defense goes, I’m not convinced anymore that this d-line is any better than just good. I’ve seen some monster games from them, but it seems like they were much better last year. They did ok this year, but teams have figured out how to neutralize the Detroit pass rush and pick apart that mediocre secondary or run roughshod on that weak back-7. They can take their pick as Green Bay and New Orleans both did.

I’m optimistic that Mayhew will upgrade the o-line and back-7 as much as he can this year. He may not be able to retain Avril or some of those 1 or 2 year deal guys, but I’m sure they were just stop gaps anyways. Maybe Mayhew wasn’t really convinced that Avril is a long term solution, though I think he is. The offense is top-5 while our defense is below average. Maybe this year our offense can be #1 or #2 and the defense could be top 10. You never know, I have faith in Mayhew and know he had a plan from the very beginning.

Cunningham I’d a bum. His defenses have been consistently ranked between 28 – 32 for the last 8 years prior to taking on this Detriot gig on Swartz’s request. The game has long passed Gunner by. The sooner we recognize this and upgrade our d-corrdinator position the better off the lions D will be.

What a fucking punk. Guess who pays you, asshole? The fans. Show a little respect. You got embarrassed the whole fucking night on national TV… you’d think you’d be feeling a little miserable right now.

the real reason all the dinosaurs died.

I like Berry a lot, as you guys probably know. This is a frustration tweet, he’s not ripping anyone apart anyway. If you got all those tweets he was probably getting, you’d be pissed off too.

And no, Joshsun, he isn’t paid to calm and collective like Schwartz is supposed to be. He’s paid to make plays.

running game and run defense will be improved for 2012. count on it

Cut his ass and let him go back to being broke and miserable.
LOL

I apologize for being a douche

Apparently, there is a 78% chance that YOU will go back to being broke & miserable within two years of leaving the NFL, and based on your performance last night, the calendar may begin ticking on those 24 months pretty soon.

Wasn’t it berry that missed 2 INTs that were IN his hands?

it is his first year starting. Everyone needs to step back from the ledge.

A lot of that had to do with generous (awful) spots, and poor tackling but eventually you have to stop them.

Berry is fine, he can cover well, just needs to learn how to catch and play the ball in the air. The Phonz on the other hand if he is back, I may have to watch myself around sharp objects.

He has every right to say something back to a bunch of idiots who are saying stupid things about it.

I think its a shame how we all want athletes to be emotionless robots that don’t react to anything.

Keep working and expect competition for next season.
the plan for the d line to apply pressure so the back could get easy picks, but last night there was pressure…twice? Fumble sack, and fairley close interception…
I am not offended or insulted by the tweets and just because one is a fan doesn’t mean you can say anything

I care a lot less about his snide comments than the missed INT.

I expect very little out of the guy in Detroit or elsewhere in the league, even if Gunther says nice things about him.

Best case scenario, he practices and trains hard and actually becomes that starter that Cunningham said he will.

…in related news, I fucking hate twitter. What a mess.
