https://www.yahoo.com/sports/ndamukong-suh-comes-clean-role-110902118.html An interesting introspection by Suh.  He takes some blame for being too stuck in his own ways.   However, the most important part to me is how he disagreed with the new coach (Adam Gase) on everything.  Gase was far too stubborn and wouldn’t listen to his players.
