December 29, 201411 yr I'll give him a pass on the first one. The second one he absolutely knew he was stepping on a leg, and then pushed off on that leg. I do think it may be tough for the league to suspend him though. He didn't go out of his way to step on him, he just kind of ended up there. It's just he didn't do much to get off the leg once he was there.
December 29, 201411 yr I'd say the initial step wasn't intentional, but the second was, especially when he made sure he pull all, or the majority of his weight on it. Because of repeat offensives, I'd definitely suspend him and send a message, but I'm sure he'll just receive a fine. NFL is all about "player safety"

December 29, 201411 yr It's hard to prove that it was intentional, in my opinion. I mean, I'm 100% sure it was, but will the NFL be able to do anything based on that video?
December 29, 201411 yr My sons tell me ankle twists and stomach punches happen all the time in the "scrum" or pile, but to step on the lower leg - TWICE - of an injured opponent right out there in the open.....how dumb can you be? He has no shame and clearly no remorse for the countless other times he's done it. Golic going off this morning how it isn't suspension-worthy, and were it a stand alone incident, I'd agree - but the sheer NUMBER of incidents demands more than a fine this time. ***Disclaimer: Packer fan, very biased*** The stuff that happened to me on the bottom of the pile in high school was much worse than any hit.
December 29, 201411 yr Suh is one of those guys that if not in the NFL, he'd probably get charged with assault on a regular basis. Goodall needs to suspend him for at least 4 games. Dude just doesn't get it. Purposely trying injure someone is a freaking crime.
December 29, 201411 yr It's hard to prove that it was intentional, in my opinion. I mean, I'm 100% sure it was, but will the NFL be able to do anything based on that video? I agree. The announcer was convinced it was intentional as he said "you know when you feel something under your foot out there it's another person" or something along those lines. He knew he was standing on someone and I'm sure he knew who. Pretty pitiful that a good player stoops to that level.
December 29, 201411 yr Suh needed to be handled. They didn't know about it at the time, article didn't say when they learned of it. Have to be careful in retaliating as they're looking at a playoff run and don't need players suspended.

They were just too soft to do anything. Your last sentence is the only possibility. Although, they still could have gone after him, within the rules of the game, and didn't. I purposely watched the next few plays and nothing.

I was watching all the players also and it sure didn't look like anyone but Rodgers knew it happened.
