Ndamukong Suh and His Anger Issues

PrintWell, I'm sure that every Packer fan who watched the game on Thanksgiving saw the stomp made by the leagues dirtiest player, on Packers backup Evan Dietrech-Smith (If you live under a rock, here is the LINK. )
Here's some comments made by Packer players after the game...
That's bullshit," Packers left guard T.J. Lang said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "He clearly had Evan by the face mask pinned to the ground. His explanation is crap. There's no room for that. It's a dumb penalty. He hurt his own team today."
Packers coaches told players all week to be prepared for dirty play from the Lions, specifically along the defensive line that Suh anchors. Suh has been flagged for seven personal fouls since 2010, tied for the most of any player in the league.
The Packers showed great restraint immediately following Suh's antics, keeping their poise in a way Suh could not. That didn't mean they were pleased with the controversial defender, however.
"He was lucky I wasn't on the field," tight end Andrew Quarless said. "Lucky. I'm a New York guy. I don't go for that stuff. It was very unnecessary. I can understand you might get in a scuffle, but you never stomp on a guy. That's like hitting a guy when he's down. You don't do things like that. I was this close to running on the field."
"I'm not surprised," he said. "He's been getting dumb penalties all year. That's something we talked about all week. They were probably going to do something stupid along the way. They've done it almost every game."
The Lions certainly reinforced their reputation for being an undisciplined team on Thursday. This doesn't reflect well on coach Jim Schwartz or Suh, who seems unaware of the responsibilities that go along with being a face of your franchise.
(lol, Andrew Quarless...)
Deserving of a huge fine and a multi-game suspension, Suh has given a new definition to the term 'dirty player'. If I was the comissioner, I would take some of these plays into consideration when giving his suspension....
[NOTE: ALL HIGHLIGHTS LINK TO YOUTUBE.COM EXCEPT FALCONS-LIONS GAME]
Jay Cutler gets his helmet ripped off.
Well, that play speaks for a lot. Down by three scores, Suh decides to let out his anger, and rip off Cutler's helmet for no apparent reason.
Ndamukong Suh throws a punch, yet doesn't get flagged.
Oh, Lions fans trying to make excuses for Woodson throwing a punch? Well, so did Suh, except Suh had accuracy issues and completely missed the player he was trying to punch (Logan Mankins). Still shoves him after the play, not to mention a cheap late hit on Patriots QB Tom Brady.
Ndamukong Suh calls the Falcons dirty, yet mocks Ryan when injured, saying 'Get the cart.'
Self explanatory. Unacceptable.
Ndamukong Suh facemasks Jake Delohme, then slams him into the ground.
Perhaps the dirtiest of all, Suh attempts to kill poor Delohme, then slams him into a ground like a ragdoll.
Ndamukong Suh's punch to Cutler's Head
Poor Jay Cutler, as he gets shoved to the ground by the back of the head by Suh. I'll admit, this one is more questionable than the others, but it still appears to be a punch, and he gets flagged and fined for it.
Ndamukong Suh's beheading of Andy Dalton (Term taken from OBSIMH)
Suh rips off Dalton's helmet, slams him down, holds him on the ground while trash talking him, then gets up like nothing happens.
Ndamukong Suh rips Ryan's facemask, knocks over Atlanta player after whistle.
Suh comes around, and misses Matt Ryan's body so he elects to yank the facemask instead. He then knocks over and Atlanta player trying to get him away from his quarterback.
Well, there's seven plays right there that speak volumes on Suh, and the type of player he is. Not to mention, he's been in the league for a year and a half, yet he already has a dirty reputation [and rightfully so.] The fact that he constantly denies being dirty, and makes dumbass excuses for his play are revolting. The man deserves a long suspension, and there's just no place for a player like Suh in the National Football League.
[PS: Don't compare Woodson to Suh. Just, don't do it.]

"Get the cart."
Never caught on video, and seems like it was completely fabricated. The guy who reported it, Atlanta center Todd McClure, was nowhere near Suh when he supposedly said it.
Suh’s only been in the league a year and a half.
And someone finally talked some sense into him – his Facebook apology was much broader than his initial rambling in the post-game presser.
I don’t think he’s a saint, and he’s due for some extra scrutiny when he does set foot on the field again – the refs are gonna give him hell for at least a year – but if this is the dirtiest that today’s NFL can produce? Shit. Joe Greene is looking over at Dick Butkus and they’re both laughing their asses off. Ed “Too Tall” Jones is snickering in the corner with Deacon Jones.

If everyone's doing it
Then I guess its ok. A la, old fashion football with Deacon Jones, Joe greene, etc…But he’s alone: He’s in a league of his own with his dirty play; Well, maybe Cliff Avril is on Suh’s level..
11-0. Hell yeah. HEAR THAT ZUNDAR?

I was debating that with a customer the other day
The guy was used to watching the old Steelers and Raiders in the 70s where ya had Lambert and Atkison, etc….. rules change, and ya gotta abide by them. Yeah, there are more rules to make the league “softer” I guess ya can say, but Suh is at least being brutal if not dirty. The hit on Cutler that ya had from last year, that was the only one that was questionable. The rest are pretty damn flagrant. Ya could do this stuff back 30 years ago when the #1 rule of football was “kill the guy holding the ball” but times have changed and people like Suh, Harrison, etc have to abide by them.
When life gives ya lemons, shut up and eat your damn lemons.

Doubt it. He made the comments before he saw a replay. My guess is once he saw the replay, he knew he couldn’t lie, and the truth came out.
“Get the cart.”

How the hell can you know when he ‘supposedly’ said it? The game goes on for three hours. Its mostly speculation, but many Atlanta OL confirmed it, and I’m putting more stock in what they say than ANYTHING the Lions say.
11-0. Hell yeah. HEAR THAT ZUNDAR?
I think I remember the Saints fans just HATING Dunta Robinson for always leading with his head.
I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!
BS
Playing after the whistle has always been a penalty. Stamping on another player like Suh did has always been a penalty. Now the league fines players. A few decades ago, two Packer OL would have taken Suh high and low and ripped his knee and put him out of commission. That was how dirty play tended to be handled. But players weren’t necessarily dirty
Nuts
Those guys you’re talking about, they played the game when there weren’t so many camera angles, and it wasn’t as easy to get the video in the broadcast booth. What happened? Easy. He got frustrated and freaked out.
Suh had twice as many sacks at this point last year. Sitton goes out with a knee injury, and he thinks, I’m gonna bull rush this dude. Doesn’t work out that way. They’re tied up after the whistle blows, and Suh continues cranking, but Dietrich-Smith keeps cranking back and Suh ends up on his knees. Dietrich-Smith lets go, and the fun starts.
The Lions had been playing beyond the whistles all day, which is why Aaron Rodgers made the pointed comment that he thought his teammates had played well between the whistles during his post-game interview. Of all the dumb calls for and against the Packers, the dumbest thing the officiating crew was allow that stuff to go on up to that point.
Let’s contrast Suh’s behavior with Clay Matthews’. Matthews hasn’t had a lot of sacks this year, either, but he caught an interception, broke up a screen pass, and generally made himself a pain in the ass to the Lions’ offense all game long. By the time the Packers called off the dogs, the score was out of their reach. Suh talked after the game about how if he wanted to hurt someone, he’d take it out on the quarterback just as he had all game.
Really? That’s not the game I saw. He had one tackle.
That was a tantrum. There’s no place for that on the field.

That’s an excellent way of putting it.

Sit his ass down until he completes anger management and demonstrates a THOROUGH understanding of the NFL rule book
However many games that takes. Until then, every time he steps on the field, he’s going to continue to act like, well, this.
Packers? Working on a dynasty.
Blackhawks? Taking care of business as usual.
Brewers, Badgers? THIS IS WHY YOU CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.
Dirty Player
Was there this much outrage over the Packer who got kicked in the crotch during the Vikings game? If I’m not mistaken, that player didn’t get penalized, fined, or suspended.
I’m not defending Suh, he deserves every punishment he gets for this play, but I think that in a game where there’s so much contact by so many players, this is getting overblown because of his reputation.
Also, bq. Blockquoted paragraph Suh has given a new definition to the term ‘dirty player’. bq. Blockquoted paragraph is a bit ridiculous. I’m in my twenties, but I can still remember guys like Bill Romanowski who Suh hasn’t come close to yet.
I always have to preview my posts cause I seem to screw up block quoting about 70% of the time.
I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!
" I can still remember guys like Bill Romanowski who Suh hasn’t come close to yet."
Romanowski was the dirtiest player of his time and played a fairly long career. Suh has only played a year and a half, give him time.
Maybe Taiwan has it right...
This just made my day. The death ball shot at Jay Cutler was hilarious. I think Suh would be most insulted with all of this by how tiny they made him in comparison to his large size in person!
