Good, hopefully he can get to Romo. 

Quote:Suh is a dirty player, but you'd have trouble finding one team in the NFL that wouldn't love to have him on their team.

 

No, it would be very easy to find one team that would hate to have him. The Jaguars would not be interested.

Aaron Rodgers said he thought Ndamukong Suh was trying to aggravate his injury because he stepped on the the injured part of his leg and did not apologize for it. Unfortunately Walt Anderson disagreed, telling him it was an accident.

Quote:It honestly seems really fishy to me.

 

If this offense was so bad, why not suspend him for longer?  Why not slap him with a hefty fine instead and leave it at that?

 

His past is 100% factored in, and it's quite coincidental that the Lions play the Cowboys.

 

Mike Pereria's comments reflect at least part of what you expressed:

Quote:If the suspension is upheld this will make 8 games he's been suspended in 4 years. He's averaging 2 games a year being suspended for disciplinary reasons. Any GM who signs this guy better have that contract loaded with character clauses or they will be very sorry.

 

Now that today's suspension was reduced to a fine,  the only 2 games that Ndamukong Suh was suspended for were in December,  2011,   following his suspension as a result of his actions in the Thanksgiving Day game against the Packers that season.   

 

Having said this,  I agree that there are significant risks regarding Suh from the standpoint that he has a lengthy history of NFL violations.   

Quote:That didn't last long.  The fine was $70k.  I don't know his contract details or what that works out to in terms of game checks.

 

 

As it turned out,  Ndamukong Suh's $ 70,000 fine is higher than the $ 22,000 game check for each of the Lions players for the first round playoff game.   If this was a one game regular season game check,   that would have been much higher than the $ 70,000 figure,   In essence,  players pay for peanuts,  relatively speaking,  in the playoffs.

<b>Week 17, regular season vs. Green Bay Packers</b>: Suspended one game (and lost $22,000 in playoff wages) for intentionally stepping on Aaron Rodgers' leg

Quote:No, it would be very easy to find one team that would hate to have him. The Jaguars would not be interested.

 

I strongly disagree.   UCF Knight is right on the button in that all teams would be interested in Ndamukong Suh.   Of course providing that the price was right.   If Suh's contract demands were low enough to meet the Jaguars salary cap objectives,   Shad Khan,  Dave Caldwell,  and Gus Bradley would jump for joy to have Suh on their roster.

Walt Anderson was on top of the play.  He saw the play in real time.  

 

FYI,  the Packers aren't choir boys:

So why didn't he throw his flag? Are referees not supposed to penalize players for the act regardless of intent if it affects player safety?

Walt Anderson didn't consider the combination of what Ndamukong Suh did and his intent something that warranted a penalty.   There are many that agree with Anderson.   There are many that disagree with Anderson.   

 

You could probably find something on every play that was potentially more dangerous than what Suh did on that play.   ' Legal ' Cut Blocks are an example.

Intent obviously is not a factor when players are flagged for running into the kicker, accidental helmet collisions, or late hits out of bounds. So why should he care about the intent for stepping on the injured calf of a defenseless player?

Players get stepped on in games often by opposing players.  Most of those plays don't warrant a penalty,  let alone a suspension.

And most of those times they don't step on something that hurts. It happened after Rodgers was helped off the field and carted to the locker room, so obviously Anderson knew Suh stepped on the bad leg.

Most NFL players are playing with pain to varying degrees.   It goes with the territory of being an NFL player.  

 

Even after Aaron Rodgers'  reaction to Ndamukong Suh stepping on him in the manner that he did,  Walt Anderson still didn't think it warranted a penalty.   You and anyone else are certainly entitled to disagree with Anderson.   But practically no one had a better view than Anderson did.
