It's already patched up between them. Just an in-game emotional tiff involving a rook. Nothing to see here...
Fair enough. Has anyone actually seen what Reed did to get ejected? The replay looked like it was going to show what happened but didn't go on long enough.

Yep, he threw a punch at a Niner. Don't know the identity of the recipient, but Pete said Reed's ejection was justified. And Clark alluded to himself being pissed at Reed in the moment for putting himself in jeopardy, as a friend and brother on his D-line (his words in the post-game show interview), not only for fines or possible reductions in future paychecks (or personal injury), but also for putting the team in jeopardy for not having him in there... as a fellow starter. And from the looks of the altercation, I would assume that Frank got his point across to the rook...

Looks like SF #64 Mike Purcell was in the thick of it. Not sure how since he is a NT too.

Well said. This is why it is a non issue.

Big Frank stepping into a leadership role. I like it.

This is my take as well.

On the surface it appeared much worse than it was, it looked like we were out of control and about to implode.
The reality is, that was a rookie that messed up at a bad time, a more senior player steeped up to be a leader.
Aside from the way it appeared, I'm 100% ok with it all.


Edit: like it matters what I think. Right?

Would like to see video of the punch. Pete says it was justified so I'm sure it was, but would still like to see it for myself.

Some people tried to make it seem like a bigger deal than it actually it was.

Well, to be fair, players physically fighting each other on the sideline is rare to catch on camera, and definitely a cause for concern when it first happens.

There were other ways Clark could've approached Reed in that situation if he really wanted to send a message, but hey what do I know. Sounds like they put it behind them

Yeah Clark's timing could have been better but that's what happens when there is a lot of passion involved.
