Ndamukong Suh Stomp Fits Reputation

It appears that Ndamukong Suh’s meeting last month with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell didn’t do any good.
Suh – whose full name is pronounced “En-dom-ah-ken Soo”– initiated the sitdown in response to his growing reputation as a dirty player. The second-year defensive tackle for the Detroit Lions wanted league officials to give him a better idea of what he’s doing wrong, having been fined three times for rough hits on quarterbacks since last season.
At the time, he had drawn three personal foul penalties in eight games this year. Now, after the Lions’ annual Thanksgiving Day game, the tally is four personal fouls through 11 games.
Perhaps “stomping on an opponent” was never mentioned in discussions. They can bring it up next time (likely very soon), because that’s what Suh did in Detroit’s 27-14 loss against Green Bay.
Suh was penalized and ejected after the altercation, in which replays show him repeatedly pushing Green Bay lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith’s head to the ground and then kicking him.
