This was the Suh we thought we would get. Their style of offense where they can't really change plays at the line, fed right into the inability to correctly match up or double team him effectively. He had seven solo tackles, including a sack and two other tackles behind the line of scrimmage along with multiple hits on the QB.
Chris McCain said everyone was feeding off him and he's is like another coach out there for the defensive line. McCain added. “Sometimes he might line us up on the sidelines because he’s seen something, and he’ll tell us what to do the next time".
They seemed to have some difficulty in the 1st quarter on where to line up and getting to their positions. After giving up the 16 in the 1st quarter (really only 14 and against a very short field) they only gave up 3 points the rest of the game. Again the inability to audible out of their plays hurt Philly more then it helped as there was confusion with "newer" players in due to injuries.
I know many people didn't like adding him but with the injury to Wake (he may not be back), he actually gives us an identity on the defense. Players take some time to gel on a team together especially with the limited reps that the new CBA allows. Let's hope the last couple games that they're starting to hit their stride.

He's a great player, possibly a Hofer. There's just a lot of idiots out there that don't understand intellectual and physical talent. It's cool though, he will keep grinding. Suh is the last man on the planet that gives a single f*** about what anybody thinks about his play. He's a special talent.
-
His increased leadership role could be considered a product of the tumult on defense, firing Kevin Coyle and having Cameron Wake go out with an Achilles injury.
However as far as his play is concerned, he's been very good the whole time. He didn't just start getting good. He only just started getting supported better. Or at least, this Philly game was one of the ones where he was supported better by the players around him. There have been a few other such examples this year. Not enough.PhinFan1968, Califin, Rocky Raccoon and 7 others like this. -
Too late. He can't do it alone. This team needs yet another half an overhaul(at least.) We were lucky against Philly like we were lucky against Washington. One of our total two TDs came straight of the lucky variety (and good fortune and skill) of Landry.
I hate to say it but it's a good thing we knocked out Bradford and only had to deal with Sancheeze. Any decent QB will slice and dice this secondary and we have no LBers that can cover not even underneath. The talent just isn't there for most positions on both sides of the ball. -
This defense should be his the way the Colts offense used to be Peyton Mannings. Suh is that intelligent and that dominant. It's taken some time, but he is at this point fully engaged, and that could be a scary thing. I don't care how bad the guys around him are. He will elevate their play regardless of talent level.

I recorded the game yesterday and watched it again this morning. Suh played his best game as a Dolphin yesterday. He was like a man playing against boys. He will never be worth all the money the Dolphins signed him for, because no one is worth that type money.
Yet he and Jones are by far the two best players on this defense and it is these two players this defense needs to be built around for the future.number21, dolphin25, gunn34 and 1 other person like this. -

It has nothing to do with saying what people want to hear. It does, however, have EVERYTHING to do worth not making ridiculous claims worth zero substance to them.

I would hope he'd actually have a game like that at least once this year. For the money, we should be getting at least 12.
I thought it was going to be a massacre after the first quarter, but the defense definitely stepped it up and got physical - very reminiscent of the Titans game. I'm sure it helped that Bill Lazor coached practices against that Eagle defense and on that I won't get overly excited until this team gets overly consistent.
Nice win though. Btw Bradford and those WR's look awful.dolphin25 likes this. -

- 3 FIRST-TEAM All-Pro (i.e. BEST at his position in the entire league...Dan Marino also had 3)
- 4 Pro Bowls (not as good as All-Pro tags, but not lame either)
5+ year career...
THAT has HoF written all over it, if he can maintain his play throughout his career, and there's nothing showing he can't. He already has the same amount of First-Team-All-Pro designations as Marino...let me say again...IN 5 YEARS! -
W Sapp is the last guy to get in, and he was hands down better at every aspect of DT, especially the run, it wasn't possible to move him with one man, and playmaking ability, Suh doesn't create TOs, Suh is all icing;
1st 5 years
Suh, 36 sacks, 2 FF, 1 FR
Sapp, 42 sacks, 11 FF, 5 FR
At this point you wonder if Suh will ever reach those numbers of FF and FR, and Sapp ended up with 96.5 sacks, plus the 19 FF and 12 FR, which are potential game changing plays, Suh is real short on those, and can't touch Sapp in the run stuffing dept.
Suh is a LONG way off HoF induction. -
Kennedy had 58 sacks, 11 FF and 6 FR in his career, plus 8 Pro-Bowls and 3 first team All-Pro's, over his 11 year career.
Suh already has 4 first team All-Pro's (already in 5 years more than Kennedy had in his entire career), 4 Pro Bowls (on track to have at least as many as Kennedy), and more sacks in his first 5 years (36 vs. 32). It's ONLY the FF's and FR's where Kennedy > Suh.
I really doubt people are going to say.. who cares about all the other areas where Suh > Kennedy. Let's just look at FF's and FR's. No.. Suh is on track for sure.SuhMe likes this. -
I mentioned twice that Sapp was much better against the run, and highlighted the TO plays that he made and that Suh DOES NOT, that is critical, and I left out the DPoY that Sapp also got, CK also got one of those.
Kennedy was an immovable object, that could also rush the passer, and a tackling machine for a DT, very rare combo, and he had to wait 7 years to get in, Suh is a passrushing DT who is not a great run defender.
Sapp and Kennedy ROUTINELY destroyed 2x, it took 2 guy just to try and hold them in check, Suh gets handled by 2x.
All pros and probowls are nice, but are not what qualifies you for the HoF, every player that gets in has them, dominance on the field is what gets you in the HoF, and Suh is a far cry from these guys. -

What exactly do you think this place should be.....a forum for you to say anything you want and no one is allowed to disagree/question your reasoning?
Its a pretty consistent cry amongst the Tannehill Haters Club, that they want to be able to express their opinion and have no one question it.
