Nice I wanted to see what they had to say but I missed it. I figured it would be something like that, they're all pretty old school even Keshawn and I love it.
First of all, I don't think many would argue that Suh's body of work at this point is more impressive than Barry Sanders'. But I think you underestimate the value of a dominating DT, and overestimate the value of a highlight reel runs. Barry Sanders was magic on the field. Easily the most elusive RB ever in the history of the NFL. But he didn't really raise the level of football in much in the city of Detroit during his 11 years with the Lions. How many times did they make the playoffs during that 11 years? Granted, it wasn't Barry Sanders' fault. The Lions never built a team around him. But it looks like they're building a team around Suh. A dominating violent defense. And the fans love it. Suh won't ever have the highlights of Barry Sanders. Won't ever. But that's the nature of his position. That's why you can name 40 NFL RBs--more than there are teams--but probably can't name 15 starting interior linemen on D. But every week in the NFL the team facing Detroit spends hundreds of hours watching film and gameplanning for Suh. And Lions fans and Husker fans are both loving it. I know I am.
For those that didn't see it, I thought there would be plenty of Suh-trashing but it was almost across the board against the Falcons' player. His whining to the media was a bigger issue than anything Suh may or may not have said.
I also failed to see someone kicking Ryan while he was on the ground as White claims. I'm not sure I buy his story. Even if true I don't think it's a big deal.
A little mean spirited but, Ha ha! Come on. It's not like Ryan was really injured or anything. Ryan knew he was coming out of the game for at least one play, maybe more. Ryan was just taking his sweet time getting off the field to give his backup some time to strap his chinstrap on.
You make an interesting point; however, it's hard to make that comparison due to different staff and decision making. Also back in Sander's time the gap between NFL talent and college talent was higher due to the college game now being much more like the NFL. How often did you see guys like Sam Bradford, Josh Freeman, Cam Newton, Matthew Stafford, etc starting their rookie season? You didn't. So a rebuilding team has more options now then in the early/mid/late 90's. You can build through draft and free agency quickly these days.
