Suh handled himself well. It had to chafe him a little to keep answering questions about AD on a day that was supposed to be about him. I don't think he intends to play in anyone's shadow.

Funny.

Rams come out and say we are signing Suh (House of Spears)

Later in the week video surfaces of Donald training against knives (short spears)

Good point.

126 games, 126 starts. Durability! Intelligent, soft-spoken but a berserker when the whistle blows. Love it.

The man is very well spoken and sounds very intelligent. I like when he mentions wanting to "Prove" his worth. Seems genuine, and that's a good thing for our Defense.

Suh knew he'd be getting questions about AD. I doubt it bothered him one bit. If it did to the point where its a problem then we may have made a mistake.

I think it will be a huge motivator lining up next to the new king. Its a rare situation for an athlete to be in and I think it will pay out in spades for suh, AD and the rams. Remember, not long ago suh was called the best DT in the game and now that moniker belongs to man lining up next to him.

I think suh may have a career year.

I think Suh is looking forward to having less attention paid to him, so he can have a fantastic year and then go for one last big contract.

There was a video posted recently, I think it was Cowherd... and I found strong alignment to a point he made;

Offensive players need to be cerebral “team players”. Running an offense requires tight coordination of every player. They need to be smart. They need timing. They need to be selfless. Etc.

Defensive players on the other hand... the best have a nasty streak. There is more individual play. A hard hit, solo tackle, a sack. The mean ones can make plays thru brute force.

I find our team shaping up just like this. I like it.

Something else to think about, he goes somewhere else next year, we get a possible 3rd round compensatory pick after he signs a huge contract. . . .

Nothing better than when a player wants to be here (be with the Rams). Suh wants to be a Ram. The rest of the NFL better be ready!

I think it's clear he doesn't intend to play in anyone's shadow. I don't think it really bothered him though. Hell - I thought the questions were pretty tame for the most part. I'm kind of half surprised some jackass didn't ask him how much the other teams were offering. Anyway, it seems that the overall situation was a fit for him. AD is part of that overall fit. I just think he is a little smarter than to be cornered into the singling out of one player.

Nasty, mean, dirty, ultra-aggressive...

Quiet, soft-spoken, analytical...

Interesting contrasts, Mr. Suh.

Sounds like he’s grown up a bit from his Detroit days, though. Let’s hope he buys in, I think he will.

Rams have such a recruiting edge now with McVay and Wade, it’s almost not fair

Very refreshing to hear Suh speak.

You can tell he’s educated, cultured and understands the “we not me”.

Peters on the other hand freaks me out a little. Watched the chiefs jets game last night and he could care less about stopping the run. Then the whole throwing the flag team.

Its possible that it doesnt work out with Peters.
But if it does, we will have the services of the best ballhawing man corner in the league.

Best thing I saw in the Peters interview (on NFL Network after he became a Ram) was how he reacted to the question about throwing the flag. He was clearly embarrassed and remorseful.

Really seemed like a huge mistake that he actually learned from.

Made me hopeful that he’s maturing a bit. We’ll see.

I don't expect Peters to not work out, but we also have Sam Shields in reserve....an embarrassment of riches...
