Duncan thinks he's dirty

He’s also well-versed in extracurricular post-tackle activity. Harper is the master of subtle post-tackle leg twist of an opponent or the well-placed elbow to the neck. His post-tackle flip of the legs ignited a skirmish which resulted in a 15-yard penalty against the Detroit Lions. Harper also is fond of walking over prone ball carriers after he arises from collisions.

the team takes a different stance

Harper’s coaches and teammates defend his play. They said he’s only playing mind games with opponents, anything to get into their heads.

we already knew what this guy thinks

…Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nate Washington accused him of being a dirty player. He has been one of the most fined and penalized players in the NFL this season and has incited at least two skirmishes with his post-play behavior.
