[Husker] Suh suspended for 2 games

[Scott Stewart]

I wondered when this topic was going to hit the board.  My feeling is that
this is kind of a self fulfilling prophesy.

Early in his career (I believe in pre-season) he had some violent hits, and
was fined/flagged. Since then his legacy has been growing. He has done
nothing to stop it.

However, in the Green Bay game I think both sides of this tale were
demonstrated. If anyone has it on tape, watch the play before Suh freaked
out on the lineman.

He was being double teamed (fair enough); however, both lineman had their
arms completely around Suh and were holding him in the air. His legs were
still running, but he was off the ground. I thought I had not seen it
correctly and reversed the TIVO twice. Nothing was called. The next play
the OLman drags him to the ground.

So we have a combination of Suh acting badly and then getting no calls on
flagrant holds, frustrating him and making him act worse. This is not a
defense of Suh, he needs to learn to handle himself better.

The interesting thing is how is this going to impact his endorsements. I
could see this being a positive and negative. He may lose the Chrysler (?)
gig and get some "mean" endorsements.
