Ndamukong Suh wants to take down Ben Roethlisberger and Peyton Manning

AP

Detroit lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh isn’t looking to clean up his reputation. Instead he wants to take down more quarterbacks.

“I love hitting Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler. Ben Roethlisberger, I would like to go against him, because they say he’s one of the hardest to take down,” Suh said, via NFL.com. “I see that as a challenge, so I would love to take him down multiple times. Peyton Manning, oh, I would love that. I think Michael Vick, I did sack him, one of the most elusive quarterbacks to ever play the game. I took him down with one arm.”

Suh explained what a dirty player is.

“A dirty player is somebody who ultimately is trying to hurt somebody. There’s a huge difference,” Suh said. “There’s no gray in that. Like, you have no conscience, no nothing, no guilt. I don’t have that mean streak in me. I don’t play angry. It’s not anger.”

Preseason Game One: All Goes Fairly Well In One-Point Loss to Eagles

The Steelers for the most part played a solid game tonight in Philadelphia, but in the end they lost the game 24-23 with a last minute drive by Philly.

The big news was the fact the first unit dominated the Eagles, and led the game 13-0 at the half. The offense was solid, getting back to running the ball quite a bit, and I thought the defense showed up as well.

While the team lost, nothing to be worried about, as they lost in the last minute, and while Mike Tomlin is going to huff and puff about a bad loss, it really wasn’t.

Some of the concerns were the injuries, one to first-year tackle Mike Adams, who was easily beat up all night and gave up 2.5 sacks in the first quarter. He left with a knee injury. FB David Johnson also left the game with a knee injury, and Jonathan Dwyer with a shoulder injury.

Ben Roethlisberger Held Out of Indoor Practice

Ben Roethlisberger was held out of an indoor practice Sunday on the South Side after having his left foot stepped on late in practice Saturday at Latrobe.

Roethlisberger promised he would practice Tuesday at the team’s training camp in Latrobe following a players’ day off Monday. Coach Mike Tomlin said Roethlisberger is listed as day to day.

“It’s good,” Roethlisberger said. “No worries. It just got stepped on; it was nothing.”

The quarterback said he didn’t sprain his ankle, and he has “a simple bruise.”

Roethlisberger had an ice pack on his ankle during a goal-line drill that ended practice Saturday, but the ankle wasn’t wrapped Sunday as he observed practice.

“No issues, not at all,” Roethlisberger said. “Mike had already planned on giving it some time because we get tomorrow off as well. So 48 hours does a body good.”

Roethlisberger played on a badly sprained left ankle during a 20-3 loss to the 49ers in late December.
