Look liked the football of old. I am good with it.

"Maybe" a five yarder for the slight facemask, but otherwise, good play.

that wasn't dirty that's setting a tone. props to Suh, wish our guys would get physical with qbs instead of gently laying them down like they do most of the time.

That was completely and utterly dirty. Delhomme was down and then Suh blatantly facemasked him and twisted his helmet. I don't think you would like that if it happened to you or Romo. Or if one of our players did it, got a 15 yard penalty and then you'd complain about us being 'undisciplined.'

Either way, punk *** move and he deserves a fine.

Lions rookie Suh slapped with $7,500 fine for hit on Browns QB

NEW YORK -- The NFL fined Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh $7,500 on Friday for his roughing-the-passer penalty on Cleveland Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme in a preseason game.

Suh, the No. 2 overall pick in April's draft, grabbed Delhomme's face mask and twisted it, then wrapped his arms around the quarterback's head and slammed him to the ground during the second quarter of last Saturday's game.

Suh later said he didn't know Delhomme had thrown the ball before he hit him.

"I was just going after the ball, and I had no clue that he had gotten rid of it," he said.

Delhomme got up waving his arms in protest, and Suh was assessed a 15-yard penalty.

Lions coach Jim Schwartz wouldn't share his thoughts about the fine during his Friday news conference. "It's not my job to comment on fines," he said. "(Suh) got flagged and it cost us 15 yards."

Browns coach Eric Mangini said this week he didn't believe the former Nebraska standout intended to injure Delhomme.

He must have thought Delhomme shoved the ball inside his helmet I guess.
