Suh Suspended According to Schefter/Mort *Merged*

[Dave_in-NC]

If it's true it would be a shame since you want to play a team at their best but I doubt Dallas will mind

People were worried Romo would get hurt yesterday. At least this POC won't have a cheap shot at him.

Lol ok. So do you think the Lions are saying the same since Dallas is missing there starting RT, and probably another starting LB in Hitchens? Oh by the way while we are at it Cowboys have been missing one of the best LB's in football all year.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

No way he wins an appeal.

 

[AnHero]

Got


Got into a little scuffle with Garçon. He grabbed his face mask and yanked it down. Fight ensued.

You missed the part where he threw a blindside block 5 yards into the end zone. Scan was just protecting his teammate.

Wow.

Thats enough of me playing internet attorney. Didnt think it would happen.

I didn't think so either when I first saw it. But after looking at it a few more times:

*This incident comes after Rodgers comes back from a leg injury (Motive)
* He clearly raises his 'off' foot off the ground with his 2nd step on rodger's leg showing clear intent.
* He does not even react to Rodgers hitting him because he knows what he did .

Suspension was appropriate.

The stars are really aligning.. I need to predict 5-11 seasons more often..

 

[Plankton]

Well, this bit of news is a step in the right direction. Good show.

 

[Dwight]

Suh is really hurting his chances of making good money when free agency starts next year.

 

[LandryFan]

Honestly I'm shocked I didn't think it was intentional and even if it was how could you know it. Good for the Cowboys though.

Watch the tape and notice that the second time he steps on Rodgers' leg, he lifts his other foot off the ground to ensure that all of his weight was bearing down on the leg. It really was very obvious, IMO.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

First step most likely not intentional.

The second one was clearly intentional.

I agree.....it's not like he thought he accidentally stepped on a random Pennysaver while walking backwards in the driveway - pretty much all there is to step on while on the field is another player

Dead on. He got suspended for the second step.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

It looked accidental to me.

 

[Tawney88]

When's the last time you accidentally stepped on something or someone and didn't even look to acknowledge what you had just stepped on? No doubt he did it on purpose and should have been suspended accordingly. Great job NFL!

Just my perspective any other player doesn't get suspended for that imo. Didn't look malicious.

Bull.

I only care about the win.

a lost shoe. a mouth piece. refs hat.

Suh lost the benefit of the doubt, but the video does include plenty of doubt IMO

Taking a step results in putting your weight down on one foot and lifting the other. I'm fine with him being suspended just didn't think you could determine that he did it with intent

 

[Roadtrip635]

The incident itself was one thing, but combined with his past history and the fact he did it to one of the NFL's elite players, just sealed his doom. The NFL is gonna protect their golden boys.

Also.... look at the 2nd step you can see him turn his foot a little on the leg, with the full weight on it. Just slight little turn to dig the cleats in some!

why he has been suspended before, he has been fined a number of times and yet nothing changes. I think guys deserves chances to redeem themselves but Suh has constantly done things like this. Are we to wait until he seriously hurts a player? these things are not happening in the course of the play these action are after the plays are over with. Myself I would much rather see him stood up and have someone take his knees out and cripple the idiot, he does not give a damn about his fellow competitors he is out to hurt people.

For a season? He isn't going to be suspended for a season unless he does something off the field like Ray Rice or if he intentionally injures someone to the point where that player is in the hospital and misses a lot of games. A few games yes but a season no way.
