Looking to avoid the bad penalties this upcoming season, Lions head coach Jim Caldwell says he plans on talking to DT Ndamukong Suh about his late hit on Jaguars QB Chad Henne this past Friday according to ProFootballTalk.com and ESPN’s Michael Rothstein.
“Just like I address everything else,” Caldwell said, via Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com. “We don’t cut any corners, we don’t pull any punches. We talk about the issue, we talk about what needs to be straightened away, like most families would do.
“We don’t dance around issues and I think we can get them corrected that way.”
Suh, who has a very public history of dirty hits in the League was a prime focus of director of football operations Troy Vincent who took a trip this offseason to meet with repeat offenders this offseason. Suh was reportedly the first stop on his tour.
“It’s a league issue and I think it’s been handled very well,” Caldwell said. “I think they’ve handled it very well. I think they’ve talked about it at length and we’ll leave it at that.”
