Suh might be in some shit over this one

I've defended the guy and almost every dirty thing he's done. I said I didn't think he kicked AlMo intentionally a few weeks ago.

But damn dog... that sure looks funny. The guy nearly tripped himself as he made contact because his leg is at such a weird angle. That to me looks like he intended to make contact.

I always thought he was a dirty POS. Nothing has changed.

His step did look funny and the one before did too. Either he hurt his leg prior to that or he tried to kick the QB in the previous step.

I thought the redskins one looked worse to be honest.

How many helmets has he removed "by accident" now?

Two this year alone.

I didn't, because his leg was going away from Morris when he made contact.

In this case, his leg literally went away, and then took a HUGE swerve back in to make contact.

If you're trying to step around a guy, that's exactly the worst way to do it. It looks like an intentionally kick to me. It's the polar opposite of the morris "kick".

 

[Mitchrapp]

Not sure how he's playing but Miami Dolphins defense is bad.

Suh highlights (or lowlights) so far

And there's still more

 

[Mitchrapp]

So many. The kick to the groin is kind of funny.

Dietrich-Smith: Clearly Suh stomped him.But honestly, given the background story... I'd have probably done the same in that situation. Yes, I understand they later backed off that story, but we all know it happened. He was trying to frustrate Suh, and he succeeded. With Suh banned for two games and tossed... he won that battle.

Schaub: I still think Suh was rolling and really had no control. Yes, he kicks him in the balls, but I don't think there was intent there, because he couldn't even see where Schaub was. That's some damned good blind aim... and he's a DT, not a ninja.

Sullivan: Up until recently that would have been a legal block. To me, I see a man trying to man a play, and not being smart, not an intent to injure.

Rodgers: He was being pushed backwards. He didn't even know Rodgers was there, and he basically got called out for not being more "apologetic". Bullshit. Tell the Packers not to push a 300lbs man into their QB.

Morris: Hmm.. hard to tell, but I maintain his leg was bending the wrong way to be kicking someone. You don't angle your foot away from your target to kick. Accident.

Fitzpatrick: Dead opposite of Morris. He was moving away, and then outstretched his leg to make contact. Really looks to me like an intentional kick that he was trying to get away with while "falling". I think he kicked him.

The problem here is once to realize that one of them was a stomp, and now one is a kick, you see a pattern emerging. And once the pattern is there, you go back and look at the others and have to wonder how many of those were also him "trying to get away with one"?

Schaub? I can see it. While he couldn't see the man, he probably had a general idea of where he was. Was the kick supposed to crack his jewels, or would a leg have been just as good for Suh?

Morris? Still think it's an odd leg angle... but maybe? Rodgers? Could he have gone backwards and knew where he was headed? That second step is suspicious now.

Sullivan? Well, he did dive for the knee. Maybe he was intending to hurt the man.

He's sure got a lot of tape that could be seen either way, and a kick to the head becomes the keystone in the whole puzzle. I suppose it's possible that he really is the dirty player everyone thinks he is.

 

[Mitchrapp]

The Rodgers one which wasn't called was obvious as hell. When he steps on the second time he lifts his other foot up and puts the pressure down.. Easy that he did that on purpose.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Wow, to me the Morris one looked bad too, it looked like he really accelerated his leg on that one. This one was bad too, any other NFL player and he gets the benefit of the doubt, not Suh. I'll be surprised if his suspension is less than 5 games.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Don't they start over after 2 years of nothing? When he had that last incident with Detroit he was clean for awhile so nothing happened but now this one, I expect no more than 1 game. And did they throw a foul or did anyone put up a stink at the time?

Pretty sure the Green Bay II incident (first step on Rodgers was accidental, second was 100% intentional IMO) was the restart of his discipline counter. I remember one of the talking heads making a big deal that the Green Bay game marked the first game since the slate was wiped clean and Suh knew that. He's a dirty SOB, but by the same token we had a top D when he and Fairley were on it.

 

[inkfreq]

Yes, because he got fined, he's back on the "repeat offenders" list. I still think they can only go two games though.. you can't jump from fine to 5 games.

But, like Mitch, I'd be surprised if he got more than 1 for this. Ray Rice only got two for cold cocking his fiancee until the video came out.
