Ndamukong Suh is and has always been a dominate force on the defensive line. But ever since entering the NFL and becoming a cornerstone for the Detroit Lions, Ndamukong Suh has acquired the reputation for being dirty. Between his extremely aggressive play and sometimes questionable decision making, Suh has put himself in the cross hairs of the NFL. He has been mostly unremorseful in his actions which does not sit well with the league and fans and Suh couldn\u2019t care less.<\/p>\n
I feel as if Suh has collected the title of scapegoat for the league. He has done some bad, like stomping on the arm of a Green Bay Packer offensive lineman, but now stuff occurs like, kicking quarterback Matt Schuab in-between the legs where the sun don\u2019t shine or pushing quarterback Jay Cutler during a play. Then people consider it dirty.<\/p>\n
\u201c[He is] as dirty as he needs to be, it\u2019s a dirty sport,\u201d senior Alan Corbeille said.<\/p>\n
Some big defensive players on the 2012 DHS football team feel the same way. First team All Saginaw Valley lineman and senior Donny Doughty was a huge part of the Charger\u2019s football team and he himself proved to be an aggressive wrecking force. Corbeille split time at outside linebacker and defensive line and was first team All Saginaw Valley. Doughty and Corbeille agree that football is an aggressive sport and the way that Suh plays is totally fitting for the situation. Corbeille had a little bit of Suh in himself as he was all over the field all season making plays so it\u2019s not surprising how he feels about Suh.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love him,\u201d Corbeille said. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suh represents the way the game used to be played and how the game should be played. He goes 100 percent and is willing to do anything to win. Yes, he does get caught up in the action sometimes but who doesn\u2019t, especially when players\u00a0are so passionate about a violent sport. That is the part people forget: football is a violent sport and the people at the top of the NFL and the players union are ruining football by making it less physical.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s good to have some safety rules but they go over the line,\u201d Doughty said.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s disgusting how rules favor the \u201cskill players\u201d such as the wide receivers and quarterbacks who are usually the players that fans come to see and it\u2019s those players who sell the most jerseys so it is hard for me to believe that these rule changes aren\u2019t just for money.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt takes the whole point of the game away,\u201d Corbeille said.<\/p>\n
The game seems as if it is getting softer and softer every game but maybe Suh\u2019s hard nose playing type can help save the league. I don\u2019t see a future in which Suh changes to fit the NFL\u2019s money oriented mindset, so maybe the league will have to change to fit Suh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
