Hyde: Suh Dominates the Eagles

[Daytona Fin]

Right guard Matt Tobin, who battled Suh every play, sat motionless on a stool and stared in his locker. Center Jason Kelce, who helped on Suh, limped to the shower. Lane Johnson didn't block Suh, but felt his ripple effect, like a boulder dropped in water, over at left tackle.

"Here's the deal with Suh," Johnson said. "Whenever he wants to be dominant, that's what he is. He got paid a lot and whatever, but whenever he wants to turn it on, there's nobody better in the league as far as a D-tackle.

"He's one of those guys you see on film lollygag and b.s.-ing. That's what makes him dangerous. I guess he got tired of losing, I don't know. He's one of those guys when he wants to turn it on, he can do it."

Suh turned it on Sunday. Eight tackles — or more than in his first three games as a Dolphin. A sack. Three quarterback hurries. Three tackles for losses. And one holding penalty when another half-dozen could have been called.

"He's a stud," Dolphins coach Dan Campbell said.

On Sunday, down 16-3 after the first quarter, the defensive chatter on the sideline was to get a stop, make a play, that, "this wasn't going to be another Buffalo where we hung our heads," linebacker Chris McCain said referring to last week's loss.

And then?

"You saw what [Suh] did," he said.

He tackled Philadelphia running back Ryan Mathews for a 5-yard loss on the first play of the second quarter. He sacked Philadelphia quarterback Sam Bradford on the third play.

"I fed off that stuff — we all did," McCain said.

I'm just being consistent with who I am," Suh said. "Understanding what I have at hand what I need to do to play with my teammates. I think we're starting to get together as a unit, especially up front. That's something that's important."

new team, adjustments have to be made, and it's his first season. Look, this team was built around this d-line. next week they must get to a rusty Romo because Whitten and Dez will give us fits. Beasley is like Edelman.

Thank you Dave Hyde . . . . 2 Tannehlll threads over 100 posts on the front page . . . . can the real (crazy to say this) "unsung hero" of the game get some love.

My god that was beautiful to watch.

The only scary thing is that the Eagle player talks about seeing him half-ass it on film at times...

completely agree, despite all of the plays he made at or behind the line of scrimmage the play he made when he ran down Ryan Mathews from behind on a screen in the third quarter stood out. Sanchez completed the screen and our LBs were blown up by the OL. Suh was trailing him the entire time and stopped him from getting an additional 10 or 15 more yards. total hustle play that is amazing to see a DT do. i really think that BS call ask Buffalo has re-lit the fire under him, no OL in the league could have stopped him yesterday.

He was a stud yesterday...no question. Frankly, I think he has played well all year, but he definitely turned it up yesterday....

The ONE criticism I have of Suh all year is you definitely can tell his motor isn't always on "yesterday's level" . . . but I think that is a fans fantasy. He is consistently doubled and tripled and that, in theory, should open up the opportunity for other guys to make plays.

Down 16-3 yesterday, the light flashed on and he said **** this **** . . . . . and dominated.

 

[BIGFINS]

He was a beast yesterday and frankly he has been good all year. You can't go 100mph every play and especially when your being doubled and tripled teamed at times. He is a bright spot in an other wise mediocre D!

 

[GasPed]

Suh was just unstoppable yesterday. When he plays like that, he can shut down an entire offense by himself. And if pre-achilles Wake had played I think we would've knocked out both QB's by halftime.

How do you triple team someone?

I mean come on....

 

[DuderinoN703]

If he can turn it on when he wants he needs to kick ass the rest of the year. There should never be a letdown.

Was worth every penny.

They both deserve a lot of credit.

 

[Phinatic8u]

Him and Jones continue to dominate weekly.

Lil Bobby on the outside looks promising.

Could have a good trio next season..

Are you serious? The guy has actually been triple teamed this year. The better question is how bad are the rest of the D-lineman that still weren't able to make plays?
