Nah, he's just off a suspension. He will ready to maim.
Better strategy is to tempt him forward and out of position.
ETA: I note that he received two yellows in the Seattle game 2 weeks ago. So, he was suspended for their game against Portland this week. However, the first yellow, which counts toward yellow card accumulation, was his 8th of the season. So, is he suspended another game? Is he considered to have served that suspension already? Does he serve it once he gets another yellow?
He has 11 yellows on the season, with 3 games of 2 apiece.
