Suh gets meeting to discuss rules

Ndamukong Suh will meet with NFL officials during the Lions’ bye week to get a better understanding of the rules he’s been breaking.

Detroit’s second-year defensive tackle asked Commissioner Roger Goodell for the meeting to talk about all the flags he keeps drawing for roughing up quarterbacks.

Suh, the second overall draft pick in 2010, is a passionate player but insists he’s not a dirty one. He’s helped lead the Lions’ rebirth and is a big reason for their new reputation as one of the NFL’s more physical defenses.

Asked what the league doesn’t get about him, Suh said: “I have no clue, that’s why we’re having a meeting. I’m not changing my game. My game has gotten me to where I am right now. I’m only planning on building off of things I have accomplished.”

The former Nebraska star will meet Tuesday with those NFL staffers responsible for enforcing the rules. The get-together will include football operations consultant Jeff Fisher, along with Ray Anderson, Merton Hanks and Carl Johnson. Suh can bring along a coach if he wants.

Fox Sports first reported Suh’s interest in meeting with the NFL and the league issued a statement later confirming the get-together at its New York headquarters.

Cowher dispels rumors of return

Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher says he has not been approached by anyone for a coaching position.

Cowher, who won the 2006 Super Bowl as the Steelers coach and now works for CBS, says any reports he is in line for a coaching job is “all speculation” and he does not plan on coaching next year.

He says he has “not been contacted directly or indirectly by any football team or any organization” and wants to put “all the speculation to rest.”

Adding he is “flattered” by the talk, Cowher says he plans to be back with CBS in 2012.

Several recent reports linked Cowher with the Dolphins job should Tony Sparano be fired. Miami is off to an 0-7 start.
