Suggs is already in midseason form!

[Whatever]

There is no way to call that unnecessary roughness. Lol how? It wasn't a late hit or was it an illegal hit.

Roughing the passer would've been closer (which they called) if the refs felt it wasn't a read option.

It's a gray area. Suggs didn't have to go in low. Didn't look to be malicious.

Dude, he intentionally went low on Bradford well after he had handed the ball off. If Bradford still had possession, then it is a legal play, no doubt. However, without the ball, it's illegal. Nobody in the world is going to argue that the QB is fair game to hit behind the play after a handoff, particularly low. Otherwise, every DL in the NFL would be creaming the QB after every run play.

As far as malicious, it's hard to say. It's definitely unwarranted in a preseason game with nothing on the line and where the #1 goal for both clubs is to get out healthy. Besides which, after Ravens players talking about going low and "putting hot sauce on their ankles", it's tough for anybody outside of Baltimore to give them the benefit of the doubt in these situations anymore.
