What does Suh get?

[wootah]

I'm thinking one maybe two games because of his reputation and some cash. Anything more than 2 is too much, yea he kicked the guy and it was a bitch move but there was no damage done. In the Haynesworth incident the guy he kicked without a helmet had to get 30 snitches, EDS didn't even need a band aid.

Snitches get stitches. I think it's not right to judge based on the result, instead of on the act itself.

So you think he should get more than 2 games? haha and nice catch on the stitches typo

I haven't got a clue what a correct punishment should be; Goodell's rulings have been all over the place since he became comish, so it's difficult to predict what will happen. What I do know is that judging based on result is a dangerous way of working. Do you think he should be punished more severe if blood had flown?

I agree. Penalizing based on how badly someone is hurt is a bad way to go about things. I think since Haynseworth got 5 for his stomp, Suh should get that, especially since he met with Goodell and has a bad history of not learning. He needs something that will teach him. A big suspension might be just that.

I'm with Brandon... Thinking 2 games and a big fine. Wouldn't be surprised with only 1 game since the Haynesworth situation is the only multi-game suspension handed out for on-field offense.

[Smidgeon]

Why? Lee threw a punch...and that is normally an automatic DQ just as much as stomping on a guy's arm. Yeah, the Lions are a bunch of dirty jackasses...just like their HC...and Lee was roughed up well beyond what should have been tolerated by the refs. It doesn't excuse a punch though. You have to be smarter than that.

A punch isn't automatic disqualification. It can be, but it's within the rules to allow a ref to keep the guy in.

Precisely. Its one, very legitimate reason he should not be his own appeals court for Personal Conduct. In the realm of on field rulings, they have been a mess as well.

Good ol' Rog flies too much by the seat of his pants.

$75,000 and 3 games.

Suh has shown zero inclination to accept responsibility. Your average kindergartener displays more sophisticated moral reasoning than Suh has shown. He called for the meeting with Goodell, ostensibly, to help clarify the confusing expectations for play within the rules: he wasn't seeing the connection between ripping the helmets off of quarterbacks and yellow flags.

Since Suh has an astonishing inability to reference any point of view other than his own, the consequences need to escalate rapidly.

$75K and 3 games.

Suh has the body of a god, the mind of a man, and the moral reasoning of a child. Goodell has talked to this goon face to face and knows all too well what a tool the guy is. A shock collar, though possibly effective on an organism that operates at such a basic level of moral reasoning, would be out of the question for many good reasons. A three game suspension might get the attention of the coaches, although I doubt it will have much effect on the stompmeister.

$75,000 and 3 games.

IMO he'll get no more than two games
Probably a 75-100G fine
I would not be surprised at all if he gets 1 game....I'm about 50-50 as to whether it'll be one or two

[Jimx29]

One game and 50,000 dollars. It was bad, but it was no where near Haynesworth stomping on a guys head with his helmet off.

Thing is though, it's not meant to be a comparison dealio. His actions need to be addressed for what he did Thursday and nothing else

Don't know if anyone else saw, but per ESPN bottom screen scroll, Suh apologized for his actions on facebook. I'll see if I can find some sort of link.

Suh--

In the past few hours, I have had time to reflect on yesterday’s game and I want to sincerely apologize for letting my teammates down, the organization, and especially to my fans who look to me for positive inspiration.

Playing professional sports is not a game. It is a profession with great responsibility, and where performance on and off the field should never be compromised. It requires a calm and determined demeanor, which cannot be derailed by the game, referee calls, fans or other players.

I want to reiterate my commitment to working to become a better player, and professional—on and off the field. My reaction on Thursday was unacceptable. I made a mistake, and have learned from it. I hope to direct the focus back to the task at hand — by winning.

"BUSTED" is all i read there. He knows he's screwed and gonna take a significant fine and/or suspension, and he's just trying to sound like he's not the bad guy.

[Fritz]

It's hard to say. If Goodell comes down in a way that's seen as too hard, then Suh becomes a sympathetic figure and that's not what the league wants since the guy has shown no remorse. Too soft and Suh will be back at it soon enough.

It would be highly interesting to see what The Schvantz would do if Suh is not suspended at all. He did, after all, bench his starting right tackle for a game - or at least a good part of it - for a dumb penalty at the end of the Leos' Tampa Bay game.

Obviously the meeting with Goodell worked. Ok, maybe it didn't.

Fines have failed. Meetings have failed. Time for a suspension.

[Joemailman]

Obviously the meeting with Goodell worked. Ok, maybe it didn't.

It was all just a big understanding. Goodell said, "You need to stop doing so much harm", but Suh thought he said "You need to stomp on somebody's arm".

[Harlan Huckleby]

I wonder what Goodell told Robison.

[Patler]

The league could look at this almost like two separate incidents. First, while both were on the ground, Suh slammed ED-S's head and helmet into the ground three times. Then, after getting up and with ED-S still on the ground, almost as an afterthought Suh turned back and stomped on ED-S's arm. It really was not one continuous act.
