Report: Detroit Lions' Suh Suspended for Two Games

He has 8, count them 8 personal fouls against him this year. I did say he was out of control but I think that coaching is possibly encouraging it to happen. They are definitely allowing it. To quote Herm Edwards, “By the time he gets to 3 (personal fouls) he’s standing next to me during a game”. Having played Pop Warner and HS football, I believe he is setting a horrible example of sportsmanship. The fact that he is in denial and implicating religious beliefs to me, is appaling

I’m happy he won’t have the opportunity to try to injure Brees

This was my biggest concern going into this game. Not that I am so concerned about his ability as a play maker, but more his ability to take cheaper shots.

You looking for a job in Detroit, FPK?

but on the other hand, he did that after he pushed the dude’s helmet into the ground multiple times, after he stood up, and while the other guy was lying on the ground on his back, defenseless. Much different from a more immediate you bumped me so I shoot my arms out to push you away.

And impulse control is a HUGE part of it, and he needs to learn to reign that in. Would Kyle Turley be able to mentor him?

“He should have been fined about $25,000”

it should have been at least $50,000 because he is a scumbag repeat offender.

and causing much more damage/injury

which brings up a GREAT point

should extent of injury come into play at all in the length of suspension?

It should have been more. It was outside of the confines of a play, and that is what makes it so egregious. Just because he didn’t manage to hurt his target (meaning it was incompetence) doesn’t alleviate him of an act outside of the action of the play with intent to injure another player. In play, slamming a QB, or the like, I don’t know that suspension is the answer. Completely outside of a play, that should always get a suspension.

he already chastised someone for the curse word thing today. Just be sure to type it as “s—-” instead of only one letter removed.

Also, I agree, I want to like Suh, but if he honestly thought he didn’t do anything wrong on that play, the dude needs help.

Reduced to one game? THAT’S BULL S***!!

And… encouraged to appeal by Roger Godell??? I highly doubt that.

If he does appeal, the hearing would be this week so unless they amend the suspension to one gameand claim time served, he is not going to be playing this Sunday. Regardless of the intent of his actions, I hope he takes this as a bit of a message that he is “playing over the line” when it comes to what the NFL views as proper conduct. The man has skills, a shame for anyone with natural talent that doesn’t get the chance to use them.

They got him dead to rights. It will not be overturned, no way, no how….

but it is pretty funny

not that what he did was funny, nor is cannibalism

PS. I saw the whole incident a couple of times today…

HOLY S***! Two weeks in not enough.

I knew he was dirty, but that was just plain stupid and excessive.

I would REALLY like to see Art do that. I wonder whether he can. If he can, he should.

i.e. if there was only 30 seconds left in the 4th qtr- then 2 games is ok in that instance? I just don’t think that makes sense. I think what makes sense is getting Suh’s attention in an big effective way because the previous attempts have done nada. He has had repeated issues and the league has been fairly patient but he has been in denial acting like he is a victim. They clearly want this to be the last incident- no more even “gray area” incidents in the future. I get the sense that because he has the ability to be well-spoken, he has talked his way out of many instances and now it is catching up to him. Just my take on it. Calling the commissioner? Asking and getting a face to face with the commissioner? To me that’s his way of saying “Don’t worry coach, I’ll handle this – I’ll talk to him- I can work my way out of this.”

As far as our defense, – the weak aspect of our defense is sacking the QB and QB pressure. We blitz a lot because we don’t get adequate pressure from our front 4 (and because our DC always has an aggressive game plan). Our front 4 is disciplined and doesn’t give opposing QBs TONS of time to throw, but on the other hand they give opposing QBs (if they are good QBs) AMPLE time to throw consistently. We also are about average or slightly below average at stopping the run but that is improving. That often becomes a non-factor to some degree because we aren’t totally porous and actually are effective vs the run sporadically and as I said we’re improving, but also because we have such a high-powered offense that teams throw and/or are forced to throw against us often.

“whats the weak link in your defence and how do teams best attack your defence?”

This is my personal opinion, quietly silently shared by many others…

Throw it to whoever is being “covered” by #21 Patrick Robinson. He will be wide open on 80% of plays… not just pass plays, but all plays.

I’ve seen several times, when it was a run play with a WR acting as a decoy to lure the CB away from the play… If the QB had known he was going to be as wide open as he was he would have pulled the ball back from the RB and thrown it to the WR for a 50+ yard TD.

Just be sure that, when Robinson is out of position your QB doesn’t throw a ‘wild pitch’ (aka 7 yards from where the WR is) because that’s where Robinson will be, and he’s proven that he can catch the ball in these situations.

who might decide to throw a rubber chicken at him and let him off with “time served!”
