Nat Berhe "I can talk to Coach Spags, I don't know if I can say that about the last guy (Fewell)".
Uh oh.

Last year for him only. Every year under PF for us.

I can't imagine that there are many players  
nyynyg : 4/23/2015 12:48 pm : link
in the NFL that like a philosophy of "wait and let the play come to you". it is almost antithetical to the sport and what a player is probably told their entire career.
Oh Nat

nygiants16 : 4/23/2015 12:51 pm : link
Fewell would only talk to the veterans and get their input rather than listen to everyone..
It's gotta be tough, especially for the younger guys not totally  
j_rud : 4/23/2015 12:55 pm : link
used to dealing with the media, to keep toeing the company line and not let an occasional honest, earnest statement leak out. We see this all the time after the coaching carousel revolves, the grass is always greener with the new coach. Give it til mid August, I'm sure he'll find something about Spagnuolo he doesn't like.

On a side note, I think Berhe is a key to this season, one of maybe 6-8 players, some of whom aren't even on the team yet, are going to have to become solid contributors unless we want another middling season hovering around .500
So what? So let's dance

Perry Fewell sucked  
Chris684 : 4/23/2015 12:57 pm : link
Remember when they dressed two DTs to be prepared for the Colts high flying offense only to have Peyton stuff the ball down their throats?

The 2 divisional games in 2012 when the Cowboys and Eagles went entire halves without punting?

Good times..

I was impressed with him  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 4/23/2015 12:57 pm : link
Seems like a smart kid.
I think Berhe  
Matt in SGS : 4/23/2015 1:03 pm : link
is going to end up responding to the challenge similar to what we saw out of Greg Jackson, Myron Guyton, and Gibril Wilson in that they all were put in the fire with question marks and all played very well.

That said, Berhe is about a learn a lesson in what happens when you make a comment like this to the NY press and the mini firestorm it will create. Players have lots of opinions of what goes on inside the lockerroom and with the coaches. But they generally they learn not to say it. I"m sure that Nat will be getting a little loving guidance from Pat Hanlon and TC at some point today.
In all fairness

I might e reluctant to stat attacking when players seemed to have a problem doing their assignments.
A few consistent remarks from players  
JonC : 4/23/2015 1:10 pm : link
we've heard regarding Fewell were that they didn't always grasp their assignments or gameplans (teaching failure, imo), and communication with Fewell was a consistent issue.

CiP, lol.

Guy sounds like a baby and excuse maker. He has a chance to start out of happenstance.

arcarsenal : 4/23/2015 1:16 pm : link
Sounds like a kid who has a lot of growing up to do.

Much like Corey Washington who was making similarly disgruntled comments during last season. It is never wise to put these things out there. Be a professional.

I don't blame the kid. Even beat writers said it was incredibly strange how he was handled. Excels in practice even given first team reps but Demps given snaps let alone starting. It was an incredibly bad look for Perry throughout the season. The way he handles youth vs vets is not beneficial in the salary cap era.
That

kind of comment can come back and bite you in the ass.

SLIM_ : 4/23/2015 1:25 pm : link
Add to the strangeness. Brown gets benched for the second half against Houston very early in the year. Behre comes in and to my eyes, plays pretty well. The next week, Brown stays on the bench but Demps becomes the starter. That was the most extended playing time Behre got all year.

that was also evidenced by the number of uncontested touchdowns the defense allowed where the safety and cornerback were looking at each other like "what just happened"? or the seahawks game where play after play the ends and linebackers failed to contain wilson leaving him wide open for big swaths of the field.

After the Lions game, based on his conference calls, I knew Perry was in full trolling mode last year. The guy said he didn't even talk to the head coach about why certain guys didn't get snaps and laughed it off.
I'm glad he said it  
pjcas18 : 4/23/2015 1:28 pm : link
it seems like he meant it as a compliment to Spags more than anything. And that's encouraging to me and pretty consistent with the comments from Spags prior stint.

people get spun up about what players say or tweet all the time, unless it's offensive and will come back to hurt the team or the player I really don't care.

Not a good decision by Nat.

Wow  
ZogZerg : 4/23/2015 1:29 pm : link
Surprised a player would say that, especially a first year player. Hope he lets his play do the talking for him this year.
would definitely prefer such comments be kept in-house

It just sounds different in the interview  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 4/23/2015 1:31 pm : link
Then when you read it. Not as inflammatory.
The communication  
area junc : 4/23/2015 1:58 pm : link
problems that plagued his D started at the top (with him). The players hated playing his scheme and nobody had a true understanding what was going on because of all the built in ambiguities, checks and adjustments.

So glad this guys gone. My favorite moment was when he had the revelation to actually practice the gameplan on the field rather than just the meeting rooms. Followed closely by the "game was moving to fast for me".
Seems Perry's design  
WideRight : 4/23/2015 2:06 pm : link
was to make his schemes look smart when they succeeded and make the players look bad when they didn't

RetroJint : 4/23/2015 2:30 pm : link
better hope he makes every assignment on time & in fighting trim. He just bought himself a program. I remember 2 other safeties of recent vintage: Will Hill & Stevie Brown, who came in and picked things up pretty quickly. Didn't seem too confusing to them, when they were as green as Berhe. Coughlin is sure to take note as the comment will inspire some re-direst sat Coach

LauderdaleMatty : 4/23/2015 2:41 pm : link
Respect the hell out of him for the most part. Problem is when it comes to Defense he's been more wrong then right about his coordinators.

Lewis Sherridan were beyond bad. Spags time here was an A. Fewell IMO got lucky. The talent level of the Superbowl winning team was above what he could screw up. Nice guy and solid but too tier. No way. Innovative. Never.

Spags will be a better Hopefully it will be more than enough to get this team back to the playoffs.
Well after all he has been in the NFL almost a year  
HomerJones45 : 4/23/2015 3:07 pm : link
and as a 5th round pick and special team player, he's entitled to discuss his views on strategy with the Defensive Coordinator instead of say, his position coach.

Hilariously, there will be people here who will seize upon the comments of this doofus as vindication.

Berhe  
OC2.0 : 4/23/2015 3:25 pm : link
Don't get what people are getting spun up about. The kid is complimenting Spags & also repeating what some vets were saying last year, to include the beloved Trel. Move along people, nuttin' ta see here.
not upset  
bc4life : 4/23/2015 3:30 pm : link
somebody already touched on it - kid stating the way he saw things. don't think it was malicious.

hopefully he'll make the most of the opportunity

does anyone remember  
grizz299 : 4/23/2015 7:16 pm : link
We faced the toughest road ever, Green Bay at home, San Fran on the road..two of the most potent offenses of modern times...then NE and Brady. We shut them all down with a Strahan less offense playing Chase Blackburn in a critical role. And the trashed rejected limited Ross at one cornerback and the other cornerback a guy whose career was dead until Fewell came back and .,,,,,,,,,
Seems those guys understood their assignments. What crapola, Demps misses perfectly designed blitzes, next day it's all about Fewell never blitzing.

Communication goes way up when you have guys can make plays.
If he never coaches another down, I love the guy. Thanks again for that exciting and well earned superbowl run Coach Fewell, Sir!.
