major Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 In my opinion, the 5 dirtiest players/coaches in NFL History were/is: 1. Jack Tatum 2. Hines Ward 3. Buddy or Rex Ryan 4. James Harrison 5. John Gruden I excluded owners because the list would be too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Harrison 5. John Gruden I excluded owners because the list would be too long. James Harrison isn't "dirty". He just refuses to learn the new rules. The hits he's been fined for were legal when he came into the league. Now, Vince Willfuk is a very dirty player. And he has scabies.

boyst Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 depends how you put it... Romonowski was terrible for trying to hurt players. Rodney Harrison didn't tackle he speared you. Plaxico will rape CB's and I am confident that some of Cromartie's kids may be fathered by practice sessions with Plax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Jax Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Why would you think someone who liked to be called "The Assassin" was a dirty player? lol Also, what about Conrad Dobler and a myriad of other interior linemen who conducted their dirty work in the scrum of the pileups?

James Harrison 5. John Gruden I excluded owners because the list would be too long. Conrad Dobler would be a worthy addition. Between bitten fingers, leg whips ( 2 in a row Bills vs Dallas on MNF in .81), "around the world" punch to the groin (shown in slo-mo, both announcers went silent after saying "Let's see how Dobler makes his blocks.."). The list goes on and on. But, that's football (I'm sure that's how Dobler would put it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ben Davidson Conrad Dobler Fred Williamson Rodney Harrison James Harrison GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 depends how you put it... Romonowski was terrible for trying to hurt players. Rodney Harrison didn't tackle he speared you. Plaxico will rape CB's and I am confident that some of Cromartie's kids may be fathered by practice sessions with Plax. When told he was voted the third dirtiest player of all time, Romonowski's response was "I'm number one among active players" (Dobler and Tatum were two and one) Ben Davidson Conrad Dobler Fred Williamson Rodney Harrison James Harrison GO BILLS!!! There's a graveyard scene in an episode of Father Murphy (played by Merlin Olson) where a tombstone can be seen with the epitath: Conrad Dobler Gone but not forgiven.

Best Player Available Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Conrad Dobler would be a worthy addition.

DC Tom Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 "Turkey" Jones picking up Bradsaw and slaming his head in the turf, 40 years ago and I can't forget it. That explains a hell of a lot about Bradshaw. Dobler's probably the dirtiest I've ever seen play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Not necessarily in order and more than 5 due to ties: Jack Tatum Bill Romanowski Bill Bellicheck Hines Ward Dick Butkus Mike Singletary Rodney Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) That explains a hell of a lot about Bradshaw. Dobler's probably the dirtiest I've ever seen play. Well when Hollywood Hendrson Said "Bradshaw can't spell cat if you spot him the the c and t" He was properly right . Prior to the Turkey head slam.

DFITZ1 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think Conrad should make the top 3 I heard Dobler say one time that his strategy behind his play was to throw the defensive player off his game. Somehow, I don't think semi-cranial explanation ever cut it with Merlin Olson and probably a dozen or so others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
