While I live outside Detroit, I haven't been a Lions fan for decades and in fact my favorite team has for the most part been the Packers.
I know fully well that Suh has had a problem with excessive "violence" on the field and have supported all the league penalties that have been leveled against him.
But this one? No frickin way!
This video on NFL.com proves nothing. Show me the entire closeup video of the play............
But as others have said, Suh has long ago used up getting ‘the benefit of the doubt.’
The larger sequence was shown twice during the game last evening. Suh is looking down field, not down at Rogers on the ground at his feet. He steps backwards unaware of Rogers (and I’m a dyed in the wool Packers Fan since the days of Bar Starr) behind him as he steps on the man’s leg. He did not stomp on him like he did the previous foul to another player in a previous game. The charges against him are the PC version of NFL foolishness.
............I don’t think you and I are watching the same video.
I can’t PROVE what was in the guys mind but what I saw is persuasive.
Add to that his record and oh well!
I’m a Viking fan, so I’m not inclined to like the Packers. Suh stepped back when he didn’t have to. He also never even looked back after Rogers hit him, as a normal person would have done if they didn’t know what they did. He knew what he did and didn’t feel bad about it. He meant to do it.
I believe the first step was accidental but then he purposely steps on Rodgers with his left foot and lifts his right foot off the ground to apply all his weight to Rodgers ankle. If you can’t see that in this video then you’re blind or a typical excuse maker for a low life.
The incident did not occur during a play. It occurred after a play. And if it not obvious to you that Suh intentionally stepped on Rodgers then you are either literally blind, or at the very least are blinded by your fanatical support of the Lions.
There are PLENTY of places where you can see the entire incident if you wish to do so. Suh stepped on his leg twice. Not once, followed by a quick step forward to remove his foot, but two slow, deliberate steps - the first put his heel on Rodgers’ leg, the second put his full weight on it. There is no way it was NOT intentional.
Suh is a thug and he should be banned from the NFL.
