NFL: Suh vs Delhomme

[Mr Janny]

NFL currently reviewing Suh - Delhomme play - CBSSports.com

I'd be surprised if Suh doesn't get a fine. Whether or not he deserves it is debatable.

Here's the play for anyone who hasn't seen it.

hell get a fine. i dont think he deserves it. if you watch closely there is little chance that he coulda seen delhomme flip the ball away. hes going after the qb trying to get a sack. now he should have gotten a facemask. but hell get a fine no doubt.

The fine won't come because the hit came after the ball was gone. The fine will come because he tackled Delhomme by the head. That's a huge no-no.

Delhomme should send him a thank you because his head is still attatched.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Maybe he was just trying to help a fellow former Big 12 athlete move up the depth chart...

i agree. not even colt mccoy looked that pathetic.

Go Lions!!!!!!

 

[ripvdub]

ROAAAAARRRRRR!!!! Thats what I like to see!

 

[AlleyAddict]

It was dirty, fine him.

 

[Bubbahotep]

Maybe Favre will consider retiring again after seeing this.

 

[ISUFan22]

It's a penalty. It happens. Overblown.

 

[WalkingCY]

9-7 Suh. Fine him.

 

[istater7]

he deffinitely deserves a fine. throwing him down by his head was too much

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Delhomme's knee had touched down before Suh ripped him backwards. He'll get a fine since a QB was involved. If it had been an RB or WR, he likely wouldn't be fined. Ah well, he can afford it.

Definitely a fine based on the rules and the way they protect quarterbacks. Obviously not the most vicious tackle, but uncalled for especially in pre-season.

Love this comment...

In related news: Lion's coach regrets telling players to "rip their ******* heads off."

"It was a figure of speech," the coach said in a later interview. "I didn't think they'd actually try to do it."

I want my D-Tackles to play angry/mean... I'd be happy if I was a Lions Fan.

Fine him and move on...

I can't believe that none of Delhomme's teammates came to confront Suh for the neck tackle. Perhaps even his own line hates Jake?

 

[Aaron Jacobs]

If the play ended when Delhomme's knee went down it would have just been the penalty. Whipping him back after the fact should give him a fine.
