NBC's Rodney Harrison joined the show to talk about big topics in the NFL. Dan talked to Harrison about SI's players poll of the dirtiest players in the NFL. Rodney wasn't on it this year, but only because he's out of the league.
Harrison disagreed with the poll's dirtiest player -- Hines Ward. "Hines Ward, he's an offensive Rodney Harrison," Rodney said. "Hines Ward is a guy who plays the game truly the way it's supposed to be played."
But Harrison does think Kevin Mawae deserves the title. "Kevin Mawae is dirty. He's a dirty dude," Harrison said.
Rodney Harrison said that he doesn't like the Titans, because Tennessee's Bobby Wade cut-block him and blew out his knee. Then Rodney looked over at the Titans sideline and they were laughing. Even coach Jeff Fisher had a smile.
Harrison said he really didn't belong on the "dirty" list. "I felt like I was a guy who played hard," Harrison said. "I never intended to hurt anyone." Harrison did say he didn't mind going after a player above the shoulders. He told the story of knocking out Jerry Rice on a slant route after Rice burned him for a touchdown.
Harrison also had strong comments on Roy Williams calling out Tony Romo. Harrison said that Williams needs to be a team-first player. Harrison said that Williams is focused on his numbers and needs to stop complaining to the media and being a distraction. |
