Terell Suggs vs Brian Orakpo

[Daseal]

Suggs is a thug, he can stay in Baltimore for all I care.

How so?

I could be completely wrong, but I think he's a bit of a dirty player. I've seen a couple of games where he's been flagged for personal fouls, taking some cheap shots at QBs. I know B'more and Pittsburgh hate each other, but I remember one game he got flagged for taking a cheap shot at Big Ben. I looked up to see if I can find stats for most personal fouls, this is the best I could find (but it is from 2 yrs ago)

Flag these guys down when there's a penalty on the play - NFL - ESPN

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything more recent regarding personal fouls, but it wouldn't surprised me if he was up there. I know the guy is a beast of a player, but he rubs me the wrong way.

So since he rubs you the wrong way and he is vicious on the ball field and takes cheap shop he's a thug. Dude are you serious?.....

Do you know what a thug is?...I can direct you to some..lol

What is wrong with me having the opinion of not liking a player who tends to get a his fair share of personal fouls? I never said anything about Suggs ability to play, just his attitude and his personal fouls. He could have changed now, but I've seen in some Ravens boards that discipline was an issue with him in his first couple of years in the league.

Sheesh, I hear people here call Redskins players worst things, and I call Terrell Suggs a thug (which once again, my opinion, I'm just some yahoo on a soapbox in the internet) and people get all worked up over it?

Pacman is a thug, Plexico is a thug, Suggs is a player with a mean streak. I do remember Sean Taylor getting his share of personal fouls. Does that make him a thug?

Good point, there is confusion because the term thug is overused now. As long as the mean streak stays on the field i have no problems.

I agree. A defensive player should have a "mean streak" on the field. That's football Bubba. As long as there's no late "cheapshots" with the intent to seriously injure someone. That's for wussies and chumps.

Pacman and Plaxico are morons. And yes, Sean Taylor used to get his share of personal fouls and he had discipline problems (i.e. spitting incident) , I'm sure there were people (non-Redskins fans) who would have alluded to Taylor's discipline problems as an issues and not want him on their team. So maybe I misused the term "thug" but I just don't understand why people are getting so worked up over this. I mean it's not like Suggs is a freaking Redskins, sheesh.
