Detroit Lions Notes And Quotes 10-25-11
--DT Ndamukong Suh reacted angrily to accusations by Falcons players that he and DE Cliff Avril taunted and kicked at QB Matt Ryan after he sustained an ankle injury in the third quarter. "They are going to say what they want to say," said Suh. "It's a he said-she said thing. I know for a fact that if Cliff or anybody else kicked an opposing quarterback there would have been a riot. If that would have happened to Matt Stafford, somebody kicked him, hell would have broke loose." Suh spoke to reporters after watching the film of the play. "Me and Cliff were standing next to each other because there are three (Falcons) on the two of us. So that's null and void. That kills it right there." As for the taunting, he said, "I am not even near the quarterback. How am I going to trash-talk somebody that has a medical staff all around him? That's their own problem. It's karma for the bad stuff they've done in the past. Their offensive line hurt their own quarterback."
--Suh said he was growing weary of the media's portrayal of him as a dirty player. "There is no point in these accusations," he said. "It means nothing to me. But it's really unsettling to me that there's media outlets and reporters that don't do their homework. And it's unsettling because that's their job. Go back and watch the film and then come to me and point to where I made mistakes. Point to where I cut somebody, where I hit somebody late in the back. Let me know. I want to see it."
