Seneca Wallace thinks Suh should be suspended

Posted by Mike Florio on August 30, 2010 2:13 PM ET
On Saturday, Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh grabbed the face mask of Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme, twisted his head like it was a cork in a champagne bottle, and then threw Delhomme to the ground.

On Monday, the man who would have benefited the most from an injury to Jake Delhomme said that Suh should be suspended.

"He already face masked him, then he grabs him by the neck, twists it and throws him down,'' Wallace told Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "To me, that's something you can get suspended for, I think. . . . I understand the face mask part. But he horse collared him and threw him down. We laughed about it, but that stuff can get people really hurt.''

We're not prepared to call for Suh to be suspended. But we think that he should be fined heavily, and that if he keeps playing that way he eventually should be suspended.

We also think that Lions fans are glad that they finally have someone on the team who will grab the face mask of a quarterback, twist his head like it was a cork in a champagne bottle, and then throw the quarterback to the ground.

I don't about a suspension, but a fine sounds about right.

I don't want to see that really from Suh but it seems he is as aggressive as can be lol. Delhomme doesn't need his head apparently because Suh cranked it back both ways.

He should be fined but if I'm a Lions fans I'm a very happy fan after seeing that.

BeerBaron · 08-30-2010, 07:20 PM

He's going to be fined, probably pretty badly. Chewed out by the commish pretty good too. Very doubtful we see a suspension though.

No suspension.

I know who I'm taking in a straight fight though.

The ragin' cajun!

It's probably a good thing for Suh that he did this to the worst starting QB in the league and not a couple of his divisional rivals.

niel89 · 08-30-2010, 07:22 PM

I think a hefty fine at a minimum, that was brutal looking. Just suspend him for the last preseason game. No one really cares and it won't affect the regular season.

This statement only works because no one is entirely certain who AZ's starter will be.

HFS. Someone was taking the pre-season too serious. Hopefully he doesn't get invited to a Pro-Bowl...

Either way, he's still better than whoever starts in Arizona.

I'll take Leinart or Anderson over Delhommie.

Suh Smash!!

V.I.P · 08-30-2010, 07:35 PM

Seneca only wants him suspended because he didn't finish the job on Delhomme so that he could be the Browns' starter.

Basileus777 · 08-30-2010, 07:48 PM

It doesn't get much more blatant than that. He should be suspended a game.

Have you seen jake at all this preseason, not like it's the end all but he's playing absolutely awesome.

If he does that to any other position but QB, then a suspension isn't even in the discussion.

I say a big, juicy fine, but if he has to sit a game, I'd support that as well. That was completely out of line. I get the "at the speed of the game, mistakes happen" aspect, but Suh not only grabbed his facemask but tried to Seagal him. Delhomme was down, and the rookie either got over excited about having his hands on the QB and decided he wanted a better hit or decided "Hey, I'm getting 15 already for this. Might as well make it worth it." That kind've stuffed can't be tolerated.

You want your players to have a mean streak, but not do something blatantly dirty. I loved Albert Haynesworth's mean streak...until he was stomping on Gurode.

But as a Titans fan, I probably shouldn't be preaching on ethics... :D

tjsunstein · 08-30-2010, 07:57 PM

A thread? If this was anyone but Suh, it wouldn't have been news worthy.

I was going to say something similar. Maybe Suh did it consciously so that QB's would fear him. Not that they shouldn't already fear him.

Big fine, but no suspension I think. I really don't think there was intent to injure there. He probably went a little to hard on the play and ended up going to far. I'm not for suspending first time offenders, unless it's an extreme case. Give him a hefty fine and if he does it again, then slap him with an suspension.

I dont think he really deserves a suspension either but a fine for sure... Something like that could have severely injured the player, if that happens in the regular season then I definitely think an ejection would have been immediately handed out.

That was awesome. Suh would fit right in if this was the 70's.

I would take 4-5 terrible games over 16 terrible games, but that's just me.

PACKmanN · 08-30-2010, 08:30 PM

mans be hatin' on the Lions

Rabscuttle · 08-30-2010, 08:33 PM

Nice reaction by Pashos. Just what you want to see when a lineman witnesses his quarterback getting mauled.

wonderbredd24 · 08-30-2010, 08:39 PM

Suspending him? Not like he ripped the dude's helmet and tried to curb him. The play was more stupid than anything. You love to see a good hit, but you want it to be a good, clean hit and one that happens before the whistle.

The bigger deal to me in this whole thing was the fact if not for that play, Suh's play in the game was otherwise nondescript. He didn't really do anything.

3rd round rookie Shawn Lauvao had a nice game against him.

As for Delhomme being awesome? He's been effective. No question, but let's not get nuts. Hope it keeps up.
