Detroit Lions defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh, has gone on the defensive regarding comments mad about him and Lions General Manager Martin Mayhew.
In a Pro Football Weekly article, an anonymous GM criticized Suh, saying:
“I have listened to the media hype about Suh since he got in the league — what has he done? Even the year he had all those garbage sacks, the guy took a million plays off and got pushed around in the run game. I have never thought he was a very good pro player. I liked him coming out and thought he had a chance. But I also never thought he was going to be the second coming that he was labeled. I am not sure who bestowed that on him, but it is kind of a joke.”
He also went on to discuss head coach Jim Schwartz and general manager Martin Mayhew.
“They’re both overrated,” the GM said. “
According to Mlive.com, the Lions have come out and expressed that they wish the general manager would identify himself.
“True men do that (go on record),” Suh said. “I don’t know who he is. I couldn’t tell you if he’s one.”
Suh brushed off the harsh criticism during his once-a-week interview session with local reporters on Wednesday.
“People have their opinions,” Suh said. “That’s basically what it is to me. I don’t really pay attention to it. He’s a GM. He’s supposed to be knowing what he’s talking about. That’s on to you guys’ (media) discretion whether he’s right or not.”
So far this season, the Lions are 1-3 and Suh has totaled only 2.5 sacks.
