Ndamukong Suh Returns From Suspension; Lions Release Jovan Haye

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh's suspension ended on Monday, meaning he was allowed back at the team facility after a two-week-long absence. Suh met with Jim Schwartz, who declined to discuss what they talked about. He did, however, say that Suh is excited to be back and is ready to play.

"He's, obviously, healthy, looked good. He's excited to be back and focused on the Oakland Raiders," Schwartz said Monday, via the Free Press.

Interestingly, Suh's roster exemption doesn't expire until Wednesday, according to Dave Birkett. This means the Lions technically don't have to clear room on the roster for Suh until tomorrow, although it appears they have opened up a spot by releasing defensive tackle Jovan Haye. Nothing officially indicates that Haye is the one being let go to make room for Suh, but it makes sense considering they play the same position.

The Lions also may have to clear room to add more help in the secondary if Aaron Berry's shoulder injury is bad enough to keep him out this week. If Chris Houston is also unable to play, the Lions would be extremely thin at cornerback, so it wouldn't be too surprising if Brandon McDonald is brought back.

Really happy about Suh coming back.

Not so happy about our secondary situation.
The secondary was an aspect of our team I was really very proud of. Perhaps it was because of the intense scrutiny the media had for it at the beginning of the year. Perhaps it was because it was an aspect of this team that so many fans of other teams discounted (These 2 are obviously related). Whatever it is, it was nice to be able to have an aspect of our team which exceeded expectations. I think Webb really showed we miss Delmas.

Good read, Eddie

I totally didn’t even think about the secondary in that last play. I was all about Avril (who I think had an awesome game, BTW) Seems like Harris saved the game on that jam.

PS- I had to wikipedia Don Carey cause I seriously had no idea who he was, (I thought I was keeping up with all the signings, I guess not) and apparently his middle name is “Juan”. I don’t know if you can get cooler than a name like “Don Juan”. Just saying…

I wouldn't complain much about the pass coverage.

It’s not having people in the secondary who can tackle runners. That’s where we missed Houston, Delmas Suh and Fairley. Giving up 270 yards rushing was the problem. Joe Webb is not a very good passer. But he nearly won it with his feet.

Having Suh back will help a bit. I’d like it even better if Jackson and either Houston or Delmas can play.

by drgarnett on Dec 13, 2011 5:29 PM EST up reply actions  

Loss of Houston has also been big. Guy has had a pretty good season and his absence is also apparent

Although Eric Wright has been better statistically this year: same number of picks @ 4 … and 10 more tackles (46 for Houston, 56 for Wright). Delmas has 51 tackles thus far, with no picks, but he does bring some VERY hard hits!

One big positive I saw after Sunday's game:

I watched JS closely to see how he would react to the win, and he didn’t disappoint. He just put his fist in the air and walked onto the field with a pretty calm look on his face. Did a pr man get into his ear? Maybe, but it doesn’t matter. If he continues to act like he belongs there, everything is looking up for the Lions for sure.

from rotoworld... pretty much confirms what has been said about McFadden

He probably wont go on Sunday

Coach Hue Jackson strongly reiterated Monday that Darren McFadden (foot) does not need surgery.
Lisfranc injuries can sometimes require surgery to fully heal, but Jackson insists McFadden doesn’t need it. It’s a small glimmer of light in an otherwise maddening situation. Jackson also admitted that he still has no idea when McFadden will be cleared to practice. We’re expecting Michael Bush to start again in Week 15.

We were 5-0 without NoFair

…they rushed him back and started trying to get him snaps and now we’re 8-5. Not saying that really is any correlation…just saying, he’s not the key cog to this team winning. He’s a great piece to have…but we can do it without him.

I think he increases our chances to win

but I do not think it is “greatly”.

Either way, is his future worth risking for that increase?

Keep in mind, foot injuries are not something big men deal with long term very well.

I'd like to crack 9 wins at least

but not at the expense of Fairley’s long term health. Ankle/Foot can be a real bitch to deal with. I’d rather keep our high picks healthy, what with both our star RBs out like that.

I'm in no way suggesting we should risk his career

Just saying it’s a bummer that he can’t go. Had high hopes for him this year. After what I seen in the saints game he proved he can be a diffrence maker.

Honestly

and I know this might be seen as heresy around here, but I think he could be a better all around player than Suh.

for whatever reason, he seems to have a better knack for making plays in the run game.

Dude did have a dominant quarter in the Big Easy before he got re-injured

I really liked what I saw in those few snaps. And of course what he did in college, but that was at a different level. I think Nick does have the potential to be a monster for our team, on par with the Suh brings.

But they do need to be smart and hold him out for the rest of the season if it could be career ending

That’s what they have trainers, medical staff and specialists for.

Lol.

Check out the “Ask a Lions Fan” over a Silver and Black Pride. I said the same thing. Fairley looks to be the better run stuffer already.

Ankle/Foot can be a real bitch to deal with

and even worse for a 300 pound human being.

Yeah absolutely dude. I go 180 I can only imagine how tough an injury like that is.
