Punch at Mankins could result in another hit to Suh’s wallet

[.infamous]

I’ve met Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. He’s polite, friendly, and soft spoken.

Once that helmet goes on, things apparently change. Dramatically.

Last night, Suh threw a punch at Patriots lineman Logan Mankins during Detroit’s preseason win over New England. Though Suh wasn’t flagged — and despite the fact that the punch didn’t connect — Suh likely will be hearing from the league office.

Again.

The incident can be seen at the 1:30 mark of the online game highlights from NFL.com.

Suh was fined $20,000 earlier this month for a hit on Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton. The 2010 Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year nevertheless has insisted that he’s not a dirty player.

But Suh also has said that the Lions want to be feared by quarterbacks and offensive linemen.

There’s nothing like a punch to the chops to make a guy a little leery.

good.

Although Mankins had our guy by the facemask/shoulder pads and was trying to throw him to the ground after the play I think Mankins deserved it.

Lol, of course he is.

Suh doesn't fuck around. He's a tough player, and a competitor...

But dude you gotta chill out lol

 

[RipCity32]

Mankins was holding our dudes facemask after the whistle. A while after the whistle actually.
He was just defending his teammate.

By throwing a punch? Give him a shove instead.
See, that's the classless part I was talking about.

I like suh's aggresive attitude. It's football for pete's sakes

an "open fisted" punch is not a punch.

 

[RipCity32]

The punch was so weak, it was clear Mankins didn't even noticed that it occurred.

Is it just me or does this kinda of stuff only come out for Suh during the preseason. Minus the "Cutler Clothesline" (which was blown WAY out of proportion) every bad over aggressive move that Suh has done has come from the preseason. Just a little thing I have noticed.

BTW love this dude.

 

[RipCity32]

That would be correct sir.

 

[Hurricane Season]

lol, if Suh murdered a child, I think Lions fans would still try to justify it.

 

[RipCity32]

No lol.
Not even injuring a QB and murdering a child are completely different.

I'd like to reiterate the fact that Suh hasn't injured anyone in all these super dirty moves.

 

[Pugz]

no shit we would. that kid shouldnt have taunted him.

BTW, obviously being sarcastic in the first part of my post.
