Yeah, he's a big guy and overweight but he trains. If you ever went to a seminar for Kenpo masters you'd be shocked at how they look physically until you see them move.

Nonetheless my money is on Greenlaw.

Dom was wrong for all right reasons so the refs were wrong to make him leave.

What does he train in?

If you had to rank the three best Eagles linebackers of the past 15 years, who would you go with? DeMeco, Bradham, and Kendricks? 

Yeah those three. A shout out to Barwin as well.

Breaking up a shoving match on his sideline when an opponent’s player is on his sideline out of bounds.  That only happens in about what? 90% of NFL games?  The only difference is that Greenwall ended up touching DiSandro’s face.  That’s the only reason it’s even as issue right now. 

People keep saying this happens all the time, but I have yet to see one example of someone forcibly touching an opposing player. Here's is what should have happened. Notice the Steelers personnel only touching Steelers players and not the Packers.

Can't remember. They were talking on one of the local sports stations about him and how he was into one of the arts. He looks big and slow and maybe he is but I've also seen people move with speed that was shocking for how they looked.

Oh yeah, no biggie - just seemed like throwing a bone to Shanahan so he didn’t have a stroke.

And STILL best record in the NFL. Offense needs to carry us to the promised land unfortunately. Defense is only good for a few stops a game with this unit.

Yeah as we saw last night, even bad teams can beat good teams in this league. Defies logic at times.

Staff (not just coaches) are allowed on the sidelines and yes, they get involved whether voluntary or involuntary from time to time if a play goes out of bounds, etc.  That’s what happened in yesterday’s case.  Had Greenwall not had a late, illegal hit out of bounds, and then initiated a shoving match between players right in front of DiSandro, DiSandro would have never been involved.  The guy was trying to break up the shoving match and Greenwall pushed him in the face.  
 

The issue isn’t about who’s "allowed” or "not allowed” to protect themselves or players on the sidelines.  Anyone allowed on the sidelines has the right to protect themselves or players from potential injury.   If Goodell or the NFL have issues with this, then they need to regulate who is allowed or not allowed on the sidelines.  

 

But, that's not his job, nor his role.  That's for the officials to do.   He can interact with Eagles' players, but needs to not involve himself with the opposition.  He was wrong.  Greenlaw was also wrong.  Both were ejected for their parts, and rightly so.    Greenlaw knows that punches are an ejectable offense.    Dom knows (or should) that he can't touch opposing players.

36 minutes ago, Joe Ball said:

The league handles that...not the sideline bouncer.

He through a punch at the bouncer, I’m not sure why Greenlaw acted that way or why you’d apologize for it.

50 minutes ago, LeanMeanGM said:

And the refs can do that if they feel it's justified. There's holding on every snap, it doesn't get called all the time either. 

It's simple. He shouldn't have touched a player, at all. Had he just separated them and everyone walked away, maybe the refs don't eject him. But a punch was thrown, which complicates the situation. The refs felt the best way to restore some semblance of peace and to keep order in the game was to eject both. So they did. If the NFL decides to come down on him, it's to deter it from happening again with other team employees on the sideline.

yup

The rules are clear. Dom made unnecessary physical contact. He was also jawing at him the whole time.

Non-player personnel of a club (e.g., management personnel, coaches, trainers, equipment personnel) are prohibited from making unnecessary physical contact with or directing abusive, threatening, or insulting language or gestures at opponents, game officials, or representatives of the League.

 

 

I don't think Dom did anything that is prohibited by the language above.

Edwards was a lot better than people realize.

Have you watched the play?  I’ve watched it 10 times and I don’t see how someone on the sidelines trying to break up a shoving match, protecting himself and other players from potential injury is "making a mistake”. I would do that 100 times out of 100 times.
 

 If you don’t want me to protect myself or other players from potential injury, don’t allow me to be on the sidelines where situations like that can happen at any moment.  It’s the equivalent of saying, "If someone tries to hit you or someone else while standing on the sidelines, you are not allowed to protect yourself or anyone else.” 

If you make contact with the opposing player, then you are wrong, 100 times out of 100.  

 

As for the bolded... yeah, that sounds like what the NFL is going to do.  He might be banned from being on the sidelines during games, he might have to do his job (security) from elsewhere in the stadium.

In the white is considered the field of play c'mon man...that's why there are sideline warnings and get back coaches. Just have a more professional Security Chief, it's just bad optics all the way around and just not a good look for the league or the team. You may take pride in it, but I promise you the league does not.

I think Dom and Howie should have a tag team cage match against Stephen & Jerrah to raise money for Jerry's Kids.  The kids with muscular dystrophy not the ones that Jerrah fathered illegitimately.

Their guy through punch - can't have that.

Also true.   The punch, not the tackle, is why he was ejected.  That's when he crossed the line.   The tackle was the 15 yard penalty, the ejection was for the altercation with Dom and the punch.  

 

Both were wrong.  Both were penalized.  But, as was pointed out, the 9ers had the greater impact on the game with their player's ejection than Dom being removed from the sidelines for the Eagles.

47 minutes ago, LeanMeanGM said:

If you want the refs to be more of an influence over the game, sure. 

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw someone shove an opposing player. Anytime there is a sideline scuffle they usually just pull back their own players, or stand in-between with their back to the opposing player while they push there own guy back.

This ^ 100%.

Sideline shoving matches do happen all the time.  We usually don’t remember them because they’re not a big deal.

 

Even this one isn’t remembered and it was 10x worse than what happened yesterday and everyone on the sidelines seemed to be involved:

The fact that the whole sideline situation is being debated and talked about so much is a shame really. It just takes away from the game in general. That is not what the NFL or the owners want, it puts out a bad image, and for them the possibility of lost revenue. They will hopefully be fair about it and get it cleared up so it doesn't happen again.

I personally don't care who is right and who is wrong...because it doesn't matter at this point, just play football. Leave the drama for the WWE and the NBA.

But this is the 101st time out of 100 where he was right.  I think the team should make a bronze statue of him on the sideline if he's not allowed back on there for the next game.

It happens all the time, especially when trying to break up shoving matches between players.  Was Peter Caroll or his personell ejected, fined or banned  for making contact with opposing players after this skirmish?
