Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 07:49:07 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Dre Greenlaw is the 49ers’ undisputed enforcer, so say his coach and teammates.That allows him to be the “Big Play Dre” who made a goal-line tackle as a 2019 rookie in Seattle to secure the division title and the No. 1 seed for a Super Bowl-bound team.Yet he also is the one who’s gone overboard with unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. But that doesn’t necessarily make him “Dirty Dre.”“Just because you tackle a little physical doesn’t make you a dirty player,” Greenlaw said Wednesday, speaking for the first time since a sideline scuffle with the Eagles security chief saw them ejected from the 49ers’ 42-19 win in Philadelphia.Greenlaw, through third-party intermediaries, said he’s exchanged apologies with Eagles security czar Dom DiSandro, adding: “He seemed like a genuine guy, a guy everybody loved in the building. Honestly, I really hate it even escalated and went to that. It’s something I’ve ...
