Is Roman Harper a dirty player?

Danno · 03-19-2012, 05:13 PM

Havent you guys heard? We're all dirty, except for Grubbs, who just arrived.

But I'm sure he's in the cheapshot film room learning how to cheapshot opponents kneecaps as we speak.

I am with others who say he is borderline. Hiis hits are vicious. I would venture to say he is one of the hardest hitters in the league.

Ditto.

I don't like Harper as a Saints player; while I respect my B/G Brothers to have their own views, I think he's overrated and lacking in skills as a complete defensive back...

Now, that said, I don't think he's a dirty player...

And, the video of the late shot on Carolina WR Steve Smith which gets shown in the bountygate retread clips is bull**** "journalism" that is shown out of context - Smith is Public Punk No. 1 and was asking for it that day...

I actually support Harper for the late hit in showing some heart and pride and not allowing the punk named Smith to show up the team...

He either is, or he isn't.

He isn't.

Not a dirty player, but an impact player

Since this has happened with the Saitns, well, what, when are their tackles in bounds, legal?
It seesm as if the Saints will not be allowed to tackle anyone at anytime .
I do not support or agree with this bounty the amounts of money, and how much for what condition the opponent was left in during that point in the game.

Did the Saints play dirty? When? How? Who? What games? Were they not flagged during the game? How many times? What plays? What players were flagged? Fined? Suspended during games like Shu of Detriot?
I want answers to these questions. Proof of this bounty being put into effect. Show it. Proove it. Review film from Jan. 2012 back to August 2008. Was it talk, locker room stuff, but not really ever put into effect? What palyers did the Saints cart off? Wheelchair bound? Put out of the game? One player. Wel, he was not actually a player, but a coach. One of the Saints ran into Saints' Coach Sean Payton and the man was out of that game and one or two after. He had to have surgery. Was on crutches. In a wheelchair, well, cart. He was carted off the field.

well there were a few late hit flags in the past year or two, that I can remember. And Harper has been fined a couple of times. And the only injuries that I can remember were Favre in the '09 NFC championship and Warner in playoffs same year...
