How come nobody made a big deal about the ‘nobody’ from the chiefs that rolled into Tom Bradys knee?? Exactly because he is a nobody. Suh is making plays and is dominating… People are just hating just like they were hating on Harrison.

This is football, chess not checkers!

every football fan would love to have suh on their team. do not think he needs to slam qb’s on their head though. if suh is so intelligent, then he should know that.

bottom line is…anyone trying to falsely portray suh as a dirty player would want him on their team if they were a head coach. i’m sure he wouldn’t be so “dirty” than. losers

___________

I’d rather have BJ Raji anyday before the “boy named Suh” ……. BJ is a disciplined player that is a force on the DL ….. He plays within the team concept & won’t commit that 15-yarder for ‘dirty play’ to cost the game …… He lets his play do the talking ……. ……… Suh just can’t seem to shut-up.

People should watch the cheap shot Robert Gallery put on Broderick Bunkley before judging N. Suh.

Gallery is probably just frustrated because his QB and Team stinks. Or, because he is not a very good football player. So, I guess we have to cut him some slack…..

Once again. If he’s dirty then every player in the NFL that plays in the trenches also is dirty. He didn’t do anything wrong at all towards Mankins in that game. Who was the penalty on? That’s what I thought. People on here are trying to say that if their team had a player being manhandled by Mankins and throwing him around by his facemask nobody on their team would come to the rescue. BS

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Find me any one player, coach, GM, HOFer, etc, or anybody that has actually played the game, and find me any single, solitary quote of that person saying they think Suh is dirty. Not even Dalton or Delhomme, the only two guys ever to have a proper bone to pick with Suh, have ever had anything to say. The closest it ever gets is journalists that never played the game, bloggers on PFT that are upset he’s not on their team, and a quiet statement from Dungy that he has to change slightly.

as a packers fans i like suh, and the way he play’s. i don’t believe he is dirty. i think the league does have to protect defenseless players, but really i love to see a qb get destroyed( except my own) if i’m being honest. so play on suh (p.s.) hope you enjoyed the pie rodgers momma baked for you….

Ya, throwing a punch is not dirty at all ……
Someone needs to remind the ‘boy named Suh’ that there are cameras all over the place ….. You just can’t get away with breaking the rules by calling it something other than “dirty” …..

I’m going to enjoy it when Lion Fans start turning on Suh when his ‘aggressive play’ starts costing games ……. It will happen.

We will see if he gets a fine:

[Suh] said he had a “great talk about the play with the referee who was right there.”

“He said in the future, I should let them handle those situations, but that he understood exactly what I was trying to do,” [Suh] said.

What everyone needs to realize and start accepting is that this i no longer the NFL that it used to be. Everything is player safety, player safety blah blah. It is also a more Offense driven league.

Is Suh a dirty player? I don’t think so. Does he need to tone it down? Yes. There are plays where you can blow up the QB without body slamming him or trying to rip his helmet off. I would not want to be a defensive player in the league. I am not even sure where you are supposed to hit guys anymore.

With that being said, some of the actions I have seem him do such as diving helmet first at a QB who is already wrapped up and going to the ground, is uncalled for. But hey, I guess it gives Lions fans something to cheer for finally. Let’s just not put them in the Super Bowl yet.

How much is this site going to milk this topic? I guess PFT noticed all the comments from Lions fans, and has just run with it.

By: sws222

sws222 — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 22:22:24 +0000

I can’t believe some of these comments (probably mostly by Bears fans who see how they don’t have the Lions to kick around anymore and upset Pariah Patriots fans who are used to the other team laying down for them……) Suh has had arguably 2 tackles in 23 games that could be termed “over the line”. What a bunch of crybabies! Get used to it…….there’s a new Lions team in town….and they’re not taking your crap anymore!

When offensive players quit trying to break and wiggle out of tackles, then defensive players will quit trying to throw them to the ground. The fine for the Dalton TACKLE is complete BS. Maybe if he had just went to the ground when he was wrapped up rather than fighting to stay on his feet the slam wouldn’t have been necessary.
——————————–

Then you would be the first to say that Dalton is a wimp and scary little b***h of a QB to go down the second Suh touches him.

Just because one CAN do something, doesn’t always mean that they SHOULD do something. Just because he can throw a QB to the ground like a rag doll, doesn’t mean that he should.

What part of “coming to your teammates defense” is not seen by the people who call him “dirty”? Mankins had Jackson’s facemask with his hand and was dragging him by it. Suh came to Jackson’s aid and shoved Mankins back telling him, “you mess with him, you mess with me and the rest of the defense”.
Suh should get a raise.

Does anyone give 2 $hits what Peter King really thinks anyway…? This guy is more irrelevant than Chris Berman and almost twice as annoying.
He’s probably at this moment, camping outside of Favre’s compound in Hick, MS waiting for an unretirement update, some more pecker pics, or both.

I’ll give Suh the props because he’s an absolute beast, but you have to learn to play within the rules…simple as that.

Yes, Peter King, there is a line there. And Suh has crossed it. Habitually. He’s a habitual line-stepper.

A Haynesworth comparison? REALLY? That is RICH! Hmmm, Suh has a degree in engineering and is a very well spoken individual. Have you given Albert a good listen in between him spitting on or assaulting women? Suh has done more in ONE year for multiple communities and schools than Albert has done in his grossly overpaid career.

They are just mad that a great player like this could end up on the Lions. He speaks elequently too, so they can’t demonize him as a punk. I love watching him….. this is what the NFL used to be about…. tough, physical football.
