Not sure how noticed it was, but on the big scamper by D. Williams, Juice had the opportunity for a big crackback block but rather decided to gently roll his body into the path of the LB.

I know this was a big talking points for the Bills and the media leading up to this game, and it was real interesting to see Juice go out of his way to refrain from anything remotely considering a dirty shot.

Case closed (even though it was never really an issue for most of us), Juice isn't dirty and was remorseful enough to proactively change his playing style, (if only for this game. :))
 
I am not worried in the least about Jarvis but thanks for pointing that out.
 
I honestly believe the Landry would have rather laid the smack down on him, but just made a smart play by not risking a penalty.

I think so too....one of the big talking points on him in the draft as I recall was that he liked hitting people - I don't think there was talk of him being dirty, he's just a very physical guy and that is one in a long list of positive traits he brings to the team.

This gets mentioned, but he was a gunner at LSU and was so brutal he knocked out two Auburn Kick returners in the same game, both clean tackles.

This is the second one from that game....

He's just a beast...people aren't used to the Dolphins beasting out...but now we have several guys getting more physical, feeding off each other.

Between him, Ajayi, couple guys on D, the Dolphins are physically beating up teams again...it's been far too long, I love it.
 
I came back to Christmas Eve after the game w my Landry jersey on and my bills fan Aunt and Uncle tried to tell me to take it off because they just think he's so dirty; I had a 30 minute argument on the merits of his block
 
The guy is an emotional player. He likes contact and doesn't shy away from it and isn't afraid to throw a block.

However, I have noticed that he shows legitimate concern for his opponent when they suffer an injury and off the field he is popular and well liked.

Somewhat like Suh....he has that motor that turns on when he is on the field and puts him in a different place. It is what distinguishes him from other players.
 
He's no dirty player. It's a combination of him being passionate and playing balls to he wall all the time vs the NFL becoming softer.
 
He is dirty. But im fine with it
 
I don't think he is dirty. When I think of a dirty player, I think of a guy like Bill Romanowski, who admitted that he doped, cheated, and would intentionally try to hurt people when he could get away with it.

Jarvis Landry plays with a lot of passion and emotion and sometimes he loses control. There's a huge difference.
 
It's amazing how great a blocker he is when you consider his size. The guy has the effort and drive of Wes Welker combined with the talent of Mark Clayton.
