Is Suh’s hit on Gabbert in 2009 a penalty in 2023?

(timely, he’s in the superbowl)

I think so. He might even get 2 penalties and an ejection. One for unnecessary roughness for the “Suh-plex” of Gabbert (they’ve called this in college for hits on WR’s lately), and one for unnecessary roughness for the “body weight on quarterback” rule, when he rolled onto his leg. The play had broken down, and Gabbert fumbled before the suplex, so everyone’s eyes were watching the ball on ground. If it gets reviewed, Suh might be kicked out. Suh would go on to be a known dirty player in the NFL, and this play should’ve been the start of his bad rep instead of acclaim as a great hit for a Heisman finalist. Gabbert, also amazingly still playing in NFL, has never been as mobile as before that hit.
