VRENTAS: You realize you are about to face a ticked off Tom Brady this season, a quarterback who has something to prove after Deflategate?
SUH: Oh, I’m excited about it. I look forward to it. He’s actually one of the enjoyable quarterbacks that I love being able to be hit, and look him in his eyes, pick him up off the ground, and say, ‘I’m coming after you again, buddy.’
VRENTAS: Late last year, you were initially suspended and then instead fined $70,000 for stepping on Rodgers’ leg during your Week 17 game against Green Bay. What did you think about again being labeled by some as a dirty player after that incident?
SUH: Honestly I don’t care, because people are going to say what they want to say, and they are going to do what they want to do. I know who I am, I understand how I play, and at the end of the day, some people are going to continue to think I am the worst person on the earth. That’s their opinion, and that’s their right if they want to say that. But I’m going to go out there and continue to wreak havoc and do my job and make it Aaron Rodgers’ or any quarterback’s living nightmare. That’s my goal.
VRENTAS: Do you hope your addition to the Dolphins could also change the status quo in the AFC East?
SUH: The Patriots are obviously the world champions, and they are going to remain that until February of 2016, when somebody else takes the crown from them. Until that day, everybody is competing and trying to beat the Patriots. I’m used to Tom Brady and his team and that coaching staff. Once we start to game-plan teams and go into that type of schematics of the season, without question, we want to be able to change—I want to be a part of the Dolphins defense that changes the dynamic of the AFC. Last year there was a comment that I never forgot, [a media report] said east of Mississippi, the Miami Dolphins defensive line was the best. I took that to heart, especially because I felt my guys up in Detroit were a crew to reckon with. But obviously I hope that’s true this year, that east of the Mississippi—and west of the Mississippi, as well—the Miami Dolphins are the best defensive line.
VRENTAS: So what is your biggest motivation for this season?
SUH: To win.
