Harper Becoming a Thug?

homerj07 · 12-12-2011, 03:29 PM

The facemask was unintentional but a good stop., He deserved the penalty but it saved some points.

Yes he has had a few stupid blunders the past few games. BUT If he was truely dirty the league would have busted him for it!!

love being called dirty

all it means is that harper is getting in the other teams heads

hes forced washington to think about him instead of the next play and that gives harper an advantage

Harper is not "dirty". He is a hard nose player that knows how to lay a hit. I have to listen to games becuase I line in Los Angeles, and even the biased Titan commentators said that it was not a helmet-to-helmet hit.

That said, there have been so many rule changes that 5 years ago none of his hits would have been penalties. Yeah, the face mask was "rough" but it is no different that a PI where they tackle the reciever while the ball is in the air.

I will take #41 any day of the week, because he has fire and heart

Harper has mentally gotten into some of the players head although I don't think that's in his mind set. Saints had some bad calls against them in the game but in the Williams led defense mind state he encourage the hit. Dirty player no aggressive yes.

He saved a TD with that play. If the situation comes up I hope he does it again. The goal is to win, without getting anyone suspended.

What are y'all talking about? Of course it was an accident!

No Problem with Harper at all.

Me either, no problem with Harper except his pass coverage. Defense is suppose to destroy things, its their job. I would NEVER worry about how hard I hit a QB or any offensive player if I played on defense. IT really would never occur to me to care in the spit second I took a WR head off. Harper grabbed the WR shoulder pad then grabbed the face mask, and Im glad he did. Its better to get a penalty than a TD. It was a smart move by harper.

I don't have a problem with Harrison either, kill the firkin QB if he runs.

Suh - is a dirty player same as hansworth, you don't cheap shot a player after the play over or you have an emotional problem.
