Suh not going to apologize for the way he plays

Ndamukong Suh could not care less what Seneca Wallace thinks about his play.

And the Detroit Lions defensive tackle isn’t about to change his style on the field. Of course, he might have a big ol’ fine coming his way very soon from the NFL.

Suh was called for a personal foul for a horse collar tackle of Cleveland Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme. He tossed Delhomme to the turf in the game last Saturday and Wallace has called for a suspension of the rookie and second overall pick in the draft.

“It's unfortunate that he thinks that,” Suh said, according to Chris McCoskey of the Detroit News. “But it's his opinion, which he's entitled to. I just want to go out and play hard. That's my main focus and that's all I am going to do. It's not my job to worry about whether I hit a guy too hard or not.”

The NFL is expected to act on Suh’s hit in the coming days. Given that he’s a rookie, he will likely be slapped with a good fine and be sent on his way. But they’ll be watching him now.

"I was just going after the ball and trying to make a play," Suh said. "And that's what I will continue to do. I had no clue he let go of the ball. I just know as a defensive lineman, we want the quarterbacks and the offensive linemen to feel our presence.

“I know this is a different league and you get fined for these things, but I don't know," he said. "That's their decision and something that I am going to have to live with. But I can't change the way I play. If I do, then I am doing a disservice to my teammates.

“Obviously, I am not going to go wild and hit quarterbacks in the head as hard as I can or try to do something stupid. But I am going to continue to play hard. I've slung quarterbacks before and got a personal foul and I've slung quarterbacks before and didn't get a personal foul. That's what the referee is out there for.”

Lions coach Jim Schwartz said he has spoken to Suh and doesn’t want the prized centerpiece of his defense to lose his aggression. A big fine might make him think twice about rag-dolling a quarterback next time though.
