Suggs is already in midseason form!

1) Suggs has done it before.

2) The RB was a good 3-4 yards out before the hit.

If nothing else it was poor form to have his head down and focused on the QB when the ball was already downfield away from him.  Not that Suggs was going to make a play at that point but he really just focused on taking out the QB and didn't care where the ball was.  If that's his assignment that's great, but the way he went in so low (not saying he targeted the knees just that he was bent over for a low hit...waist to knee) he had no idea if the QB still had the ball or not.

True....he has done it before. The dirty play against Blount comes to mind.
As far as defensive assignments. During a pass or run he has three assignments of responsibility.....the QB, the LT and the running back. On option plays the DE ONLY responsibility is the QB and taking him down in case it is not handed off.
