Ndamukong Suh

[Charlie Rivers]

Ndamukong Suh was, during the Jacksonville game (CBS broadcast), caught arguing with Philbin on the sideline about some negative point (to me Suh's face communicated anger) toward Philbin; Philbin's gestures- his open hands signaling for Suh to relax- were (IMO) clearly "telling" Suh to chill.

It one local radio/television broadcast, so I was told by a friend, it was reported that Suh was executing his own plays on the field instead of abiding by the coaches instructions. NOTE: I am not saying that the team, or Suh alone, was/were intentionally losing so as to protest, so please do not misunderstand my words.

In light of Sunday's game does the squad have Suh's ear and not placing little or no weight on Philbin/Lazor's game- to a point?

Either way its a disaster. Suh doing his own thing doesnt make the defense better. Its a team sport. Big deal Suh does his own thing and looks better on field while that could make our defense worse because he has certain responsibilities

Yeah it matters little if at all...oh well.

Ndamukong Who???????????

Suh and Jones are the only players on D that are playing good to great.

Those 2 don't deserve a lick of criticism.

Suh has been FAR from great. Given his tenth-of-a-billion dollar salary, he absolutely deserves criticism.
At least he was getting double teamed against Buffalo and had an excuse. He couldn't beat single blocks against Jacksonville, he rarely faced a double team in that game. He's the highest paid defensive player in the NFL, be needs to play better.

Suh was getting triple teamed at times Sunday and still managed 4 tackle with two being for loses.

And what about Jacksonville? He couldn't beat one man all day long.

 

[fishfanmiami]

You are right about that just saying Sunday he did his job with little support from the rest.

He's doing fine. The coaching....... that's the part we need to figure the eff out!

Absolutely! Suh needs to be the Dan Marino on the defensive side of the ball. He needs to carry the unit on his shoulders. He NEEDS to be a leader of men out there. He needs to hold everybody around him accountable. Right now I don't see that. Tannehill needs to be that leader on the other side of the ball and I don't see that happening either. NO LEADERSHIP!!!!

How is it that a guy can be great in college, great with the Lions, then come to Miami and suddenly be ineffective ??? It has to be the coaching and the defensive scheme that Miami is using. They need to look at Tapes from when he excelled with the Lions and see how he was used. Because the way they are using him is not working....

 

[Bob512]

On Sunday....I saw Suh being triple teamed at times by the Bills. To me....Suh is doing his job, sucking up blockers to give the opportunities to the guys on the outside to make plays. Those guys, have been non-existent this year. Where the heck are they.

The way I see it, Suh is going to eat up blockers and will be disruptive when the QB steps up on the pocket. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened as the QB doesn't have to step up in the pocket, he only has to sit back there and wait since nobody is coming to get him.

Suh will be fine. The expectations for him are too high if he is having to do it alone. Where is Wake, Mitchell, Fede, or the other guys?

I honestly wonder if some of you pay attention to game play? If Suh and he was is being double and triple teamed then how the hell can he be super effective? A much more appropriate question is the following. If 3 people are on him then where the hell is everyone else?

I actually pay attention to the trench play and the answer is the following. OV is one of the worst DEs in the league. He is on more occasion being swallowed "whole" by opposing Tackles. Not only that he likes to throw his back at the Tackle which effectively nautralizes him against said tackle and guess what? Sitting the edge. Mitchell and Wake are absolutely no better.

Yet, People want to lay most of the blame at Suhs feet? Why isn't he constantly beating double and triple teams? Honestly do people thing the guy is super-human?

Maybe if everyone else was capable of actually winning the majority of their 1 on 1. Then teams wouldn't be able to devote 2 defenders to Suh and then we could really create havoc as a DL. People PLEASE watch the DL play for other teams..particularly the DEs and you will realize what we are lacking.

STOP BLAMING SUH for not being able to be Super Human. Start actually blaming everyone else for not being able to beat their 1 on 1.

Also, do people realize how a terrible secondary is adding to the problems of the DL?

During the pre-season all you heard was that super DE's like OV and CW were going to dominate. All of a sudden they are scrubs and bums? What has happened in the interim? They were highly touted DE's that are underwhelming us right now!
