Getty ImagesCriticism of Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is coming from all corners, including a college teammate of Suh?s who says it?s time for a suspension.
Jets guard Matt Slauson, who played with Suh at Nebraska, told Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post that the NFL should suspend Suh because fines haven?t curtailed his on-field misbehavior and, Slauson says, ?he?s out of control.?
?Somebody needs to get him under control, because he?s trying to hurt people,? Slauson said. ?It?s one thing to be an incredibly physical player and a tenacious player, but it?s another thing to set out to end that guy?s career.?
Suh and Slauson lined up against each other in practice, and Nebraska practices frequently featured problems related to Suh?s temper getting the best of him, Slauson told Hubbuch.
Although Suh was one of the best defensive tackles in college football history ? being named Associated Press College Football Player of the Year and winning the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy in addition to being a finalist for the Heisman Trophy ? Slauson says his teammates didn?t like him. And he says people at Nebraska like Suh even less now that he?s making the football program look bad with his tactics in the NFL, including stepping on an opponent on Thanksgiving, resulting in an ejection.
This isn?t the first time Slauson has indicated he didn?t particularly enjoy being Suh?s teammate. Asked about the then-rookie for the Lions a year ago, Slauson said, ?I wouldn?t say me and Suh were best friends. There were times we got in fights during spring ball, during camp. Emotions go, you get tired and Suh just happened to be the guy I was going against.?
It seems that pretty much everyone is fed up with Suh right now. The next question is whether Roger Goodell is so fed up that Suh is suspended.
