Berry arrested again...

Our secondary is pathetic. Sad thing is, can we afford to let him go?
 
Nice offseason for the Lions and the NFL this year. I wonder what the record is for offseason arrests. This has to be it. How hard is it to go out and not get arrested? Seems like a pretty easy task.
 
Lions' Aaron Berry arrested againUpdated: July 22, 2012, 12:41 PM ETESPN.com news services Recommend9Tweet10Comments103EmailPrintDETROIT -- Detroit Lions cornerback Aaron Berry has been arrested in Pennsylvania for the second time this offseason.

Cpl. Kyle Gautsch of the Harrisburg Police Department says Berry was taken into custody early Saturday morning on three charges of simple assault. Gautsch says there "was a weapon allegedly brandished during the incident."

Berry, who is from Harrisburg, was also arrested in that area June 23 on suspicion of DUI, failure to stop and render aid from an accident and other counts.

Gautsch told the Detroit Free Press earlier Sunday that Berry was arrested around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, but is "no longer at our holding facility." Gautsch declined to tell the paper if the firearm was registered.

Berry was set to enter a diversionary program following the June arrest, the Free Press reported Tuesday. It was unknown how the cornerback's latest incident affected that deal.

Berry's attorney in the DUI case told the paper he was unaware of a second arrest.

"We are extremely disappointed by the reports involving Aaron Berry," the Lions said in a statement on their website Sunday. "We are currently gathering more information and will have further comment when appropriate."

The University of Pittsburgh product is the latest Lions player to be arrested this offseason.

Besides Berry's previous arrest, second-year players Nick Fairley and Mikel Leshoure have each been arrested twice since the season ended. Offensive tackle Johnny Culbreath also had a marijuana-related run-in with police this offseason and monticellolive.com reported Friday that defensive tackle Corey Williams appeared in court Wednesday to face his own DWI charge stemming from a June 18, 2011 arrest.

Pro Bowl defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said last week that his teammates must be "accountable" to themselves and to each other.

"Everybody has to be accountable for themselves, and obviously we as teammates need to hold each other to a higher standard," Suh said, according to Yahoo! Sports. "And that's being addressed, and some of our teammates will have to deal with repercussions from the league, and I think they'll handle that the right way and move forward and not let it truly affect us during the season."

Suh was pulled over in March and ticketed for driving a BMW 91 mph in a 55 mph zone. In December 2011, he was also involved in a crash in Portland in which he lost control of a car and crashed into a drinking fountain and tree. Suh cooperated with Portland police and no tickets were issued for the crash.

"Things, I believe, always happen for a reason. At that particular moment, you're not gonna know what those reasons are," Suh said about his own offseason incidents, according to Yahoo!. "You look back and reflect on those (experiences) and take the positives and learn from the negatives and make the most of them."

Lions veterans are scheduled to report to training camp in Allen Park, Mich., on Thursday




lmaolmaolmaolmaolmaolmaolmao fuck you berry!
 
This team is a mess. I'm all for drafting on talent before character, and I believe in personal accountability, but it sure seems like the Lions aren't doing much to address the known characters they've drafted. How about some paid veterans who serve as life coaches and babysitters? I'd love to hear more from the management on this nonsense too. They don't have to be specific, but I'd love to hear Bill Ford, Jr. come out and give a strong statement about acting like professionals instead of parolees.
 
This is beyond pathetic...its embarrassing- to themselves (which they obviously don't give a rats ass about), to the team, and to the city.

I don't care how much they are hurting at secondary...they either need to cut his ass or bench him the first 4 games of the season.

You are stupid if you don't think he has talent. He may be stupid as hell but he is a decent corner

He hasn't done jack shit. In a normal defensive backfield, he's running special teams only. Cut his ass.

And he's also getting beat time after time. He's average at best. He couldn't even start above Eric Wright. Lol.

An undrafted rookie in his first full season and you're trying to compare him to a former 2nd round pick who has been starting for 5 years

But Wright stinks. Rookie or not shouldn't matter. Regardless of not enough time to see what he can do, his rookie season was not good.
