I don't know if I'd say they're dirty, but you have to admit they walk that fine line between tackling and hitting HARD and delivering cheap shots. Take for instance Suh's hit on Cutler a couple of weeks ago (didn't see any of the panthers/lions game). The play where Suh ripped off Cutler's helmet when tackling him. Cutler was running so he's fair game as a running back and the tackle was legit, but i thought the little extra helmet rip at the end was excessive. When the Lions make sacks or hits on the QB they hit them hard (fine) but a lot of times there's that little extra "drive them into the ground" move afterward. I feel like there's kindof an unspoken rule that, "you hit hard but try not to injure". And I get the feeling from the lions that they don't go out of their way to injure players, but they don't try to avoid injuring players either.</p></blockquote><p></p>
