Cactusboy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 This is kinda funny... and it's probably why the OL didn't make any fuse from what happened. Former Green Bay Packer Matt Brock revealed Thursday some inside information as to what likely sparked Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to stomp on an opposing player's arm during the Lions-Packers Thanksgiving Day matchup. Brock, speaking on KXTG radio in Portland, Ore., said he learned from Packers offensive line coach James Campen that Packers guard Evan Dietrich-Smith was instructed to untie Suh's shoelaces at every possible opportunity during the game. "So my friend, James [Campen] — man, I probably shouldn't say his name, he told me not to tell this, and I was like, 'Whatever,' — he's the offensive line coach. The center, or one of his guards, he's had like one or two starts in his career and he's got to play against Suh. So he's pretty puckered, right? So, he's talking to James, the offensive line coach, going, 'What do I do? What do I do?'" "James is just in his mind going, 'This guy is going to get killed. I got to take his mind off it, give him something else to do.' So he says, 'OK, every time you're in a pile, I want you to focus on something. I want you to untie his shoes. "'Anytime you can, just reach in; he's got floppy shoe laces, he doesn't spat (cover them with tape) or anything, just untie his shoes. It will irritate him.'" Brock said the Packers offensive lineman untied Suh's shoes three times during the game. "That's why he stomped him," Brock said. "That's why he banged his head on the ground and he stomped him." Suh, who already had been fined three times in his short NFL career for illegal hits on quarterbacks, served a two-game suspension for the stomp to Dietrich-Smith's arm. The 2010 Defensive Rookie of the Year has avoided any direct answers to the stomping incident since returning to the Lions this week. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Former-Green-Bay-Packer-Matt-Brock-Evan-Dietrich-Smith-instructed-to-untie-Ndamukong-Suh-shoelaces-121511/ Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It that's true, those were some mighty EXPENSIVE shoe laces. Quote Link to comment
HeyBurke Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Wow. Still doesn't excuse what Suh did, but that's just childish. Quote Link to comment
Cina Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Sounds like a reasonable reaction on Suh's part. Those shoe laces are SO hard to tie. Is it around the tree and through the rabbit hole, or...? 3 Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Not surprising. Anybody who thought that they weren't baiting Suh was being naive. And now that it's been so successful, players will continue to bait him every week for a while, until he shows that it's not worth it. Hopefully he comes out of his suspension on fire, and lets his play do his talking all by itself. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 How can you find anything reasonable when Suh got on national TV, lied to millions of viewers, and had the gall to bring the Lord into it? I've never had a huge problem with Suh losing his temper and stomping the guys arm. It's football, and a lot of players lose their cool. However, it was the aftermath of how he handled the situation that really turns me off. Quote Link to comment
Hoosker Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I thought he had been instructed to give Suh wet willies in the pile ups. This changes everything. Quote Link to comment

Muck Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Wow. Still doesn't excuse what Suh did, but that's just childish. To be honest it's about the mildest thing you'll ever hear about happening in the pile. I was fully expected to read that Dietrich-Smith was busy trying to remove one of Suh's testicles as a souvenir. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, they could have done worse, but why even do this? It just seems completely childish and irrelevant to the game. Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I honestly think it makes Suh look worse, 'cause that's f*ing hilarious. Quote Link to comment

Comish Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Obviously Suh needs to invest in Super Glue and then dip the laces in skunk urine................. Quote Link to comment
Alamo City Husker Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 These shoes are made for stomping, and that's just what they'll do one of these days these shoes are gonna stomp all over you... Quote Link to comment
