Brown players told football news Monday that Suh should be suspended while fellow Lions defended Suh. In contrast, Lions players justify it as an error lacking any intent to cause harm; they assert Suh just messed up and truly believed Delhomme still had the ball. Mangini agreed that Suh didn’t do it on purpose but that the play did put the safety of Delhomme at risk. Delhomme’s position on the matter is more relaxed. He says whatever the NFL decides he supports. But he adds that he was happy to get a first down off the mistake.
Online reaction to the video has been mixed. “If he did that to Brett Favre or Tom Brady, he’d definitely be? ejected, fined and suspended” comments one viewer. Many felt it was nothing more than a penalty. “Delhomme looked like a rag doll. Its a penalty, but nothing more.” Others contend the means by which Suh effectuated the play was dirty “that was a dirty play. It’s one thing to get a face mask but to just toss a guy around by the neck? Dirty.”
One notes that Suh tackles high and show be more careful to avoid penalties. “If you look at his highlights this is pretty much how Suh tackles. He grabs pretty high. definitely not malicious. The toss at the end is what he does too.” And one simply notes “it’s not wise for a rookie to make enemies of veteran players in the NFL.”
