Suh also has a tendency to be stupid and not play his best football late in games. He has the similar alarming tendency to make alarming lapses in judgement on the field. The two stopping incidents, I saw a highlight of Suh trying to leg whip and kick a Texans QB in the nuts.... Not great signs for a guy who will now be on a very short leash from the NFL. It's not a direct comparison, but there are some similarities. Plus, there is the defense thing. I can't see many DL wanting to play in our D, since it is very restrictive when a guy like Suh can play in any D, and in the 43, he gets to attack upfeild and not have to play with a lot of discipline. For a guy with a history of a lack of discipline, I can't see him wanting to do the dirty work of taking on blockers so much.
The final thing with Suh is he just playing for the money or not. Give a guy $30-$50+ million in bonus money, you will find out pretty quick. There is not much incentive for him to play hard anymore. Even if it is not pure greed, it is going to be hard for him to not feel like he has arrived, and vindicate his tendency to be undisciplined. The whole super big money contract doesn't exactly bring out the best in people, particularly since there is no tie to him playing well.
