Suh may be fined

[cheeno]

Next week for something he did in the Zona game two weeks ago. Anyone else hear this?

On a play that came with just under 9:30 in the third quarter, Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer took a shotgun snap from the Arizona 47 and handed off to running back Rashard Mendenhall, who cut left to right and gained nine yards.

Suh initially faced a double-team block from Fanaika and Eric Winston. After Mendenhall migrated through the tackle box and when Suh was engaged only by Winston, Suh toppled Winston with a fast but ferocious right hook/elbow to the head.

Suh wasn’t penalized or fined for the maneuver, which largely has gone unnoticed.

And so it appears that a problem still exists with Suh, even if neither the NFL nor the Lions have acknowledged that he was dishing out cheap shots on the second Sunday of the 2013 regular season, seven days after being fined $100,000 for illegally hitting Vikings center Jonathan Sullivan in the knee on the first Sunday of the 2013 regular season.

Thanks schles. Ridiculous.

Thanks schles. Ridiculous.

He's one of the most dominant players in the league, I don't get why he feels the need to cheap shot guys.

 

[biggunsbob]

The guy is a head case..It really is frustrating because he is so damn good..

 

[motown1958]

That is literally just oline vs dline. Plays like that happen in every game and absolutely not a cheap shot. What a bunch of crap.

I must be looking in the wrong spot. I can't even locate Suh.

In the end, its all on Schwartz. He needs to do a better job of teaching these guys..

Suh would be embraced for his play in a different era. Unfortunately in this one, it is frowned upon.

 

[motown1958]

Its just a witch hunt and something that the league needs to avoid. To accept film not submitted by a team should be outside the scope of their powers. This is basically a fan sending film to the league and it cant lead to a fine. There should be rules to this stuff.

He's the one in the center of the screen going against #72. Towards the end he elbows the guy in the head. Rough, aggressive play, but so much goes on in the trenches that to me it's a little hard to flat out say it was dirty.

Kind of reminds me of golf fans sending in videos of violations, like what's happened to Tiger lately. I feel like if the refs don't see it and the league doesn't point it out in the days following the game, then they shouldn't be allowed to fine the guy. Instead, they can just watch the guy in the future.

Okay, thanks. Bring back the Jack Tatum era.

What was wrong with that, AZ didn't complain looked ok to me

 

[tonyballs]

What a joke!! He didnt throw an elbow. He head slapped him, yes but it didnt look that bad. Now he'll get suspended for the Bears game...lol. I cant believe this shit

 

[mhughes0021]

maybe if his dumb antics keep up his suspensions will escalate to him being suspended the entire year next year and we wont have to pay him 21 mil!

 

[Mitchrapp]

I know the NFL is a girls league now but if Suh wasn't such a schmuck he might not be getting these fines/suspensions.

He's playing at an All Pro level this year so far.

And I'm glad he is but sometimes he doesn't think, like that block on the LEVY INT return. The block wasn't so bad, IMO, but Levy was about to score and Suh didn't need to make a block.

I just want him to think a bit more.

suhs fine upheld. He wont get fined for his trip last week. But idonije was fined for a leg whip that happened shortly after.
