I get what your saying and you have a point, and once again this is just my opinion, but I really feel you even if the Giants went and got all the talent in the world, this defense would still be average at best under Fewell..
So Haslett gets a good game out of his defense and all else is forgiven? Where was this "running on all cylinders" when we carved them a new asshole? Or when the Eagles dropped 37 on them?
Good to know. As long as we get one good game out of our defense soon, we can just call it even and give Fewell all the credit.
I remember when Haslett was a genius allowing Cruz to complete a sideline 30 yard catch when only :07 were left and the Giants only option was to go to the sideline and get out of bounds before the half.
and I say this without judgment because I've been there...
But I think you're a little dug in on Fewell at this point. I don't see how you can actually think that over the last couple of years he hasn't made a tremendous amount of errors. I never thought he was the right man for the job and I still don't.

I don't at all. His defense got healthy in 2011-12 and at that point we actually DID have the talent to be good and we shut down some of the best offenses in the league and won a Super Bowl. I also thought we had pretty solid personnel in 2010 and the results were good.
If Fewell were a defensive mastermind, he'd probably have a head coaching gig. But the man isn't incompetent. He's gotten good results when he's had good personnel. It wasn't a coincidence that the defense looked improved the second Beason and Hill took the places of inferior players. Yes, backup QB's.. I get it. But the defense played well regardless considering how ghastly the offense was and how many awful situations they put them in.
What I've seen is a reasoned and rather patient poster, willing to take the time in NON-KNEEJERK fashion to simply explain that Fewell is a decent DC who has moments of very good work and moments of not so good work. Since we don't know the calls, whys and the wherefores, we have no idea where the fault lies on any given play..
It's about health and talent, something that some are too stupid to comprehend..Amazing how how LeBeau has become somewhat pedestrian when not surrounded by yearly playmakers he has enjoyed for many,mmany years..Sort of the luxury Spags enjoyed in 2007, once they got in sync..
Arca, those who are reasonably aware of what it takes to run a unit know where you have ALWAYS been coming from
