In the middle of the second quarter, the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks’ Week 5 game got extra chippy, leading to the ejection of Dre Greenlaw. On the play, the Niners linebacker had a late hit on Sam Darnold and then head-butted linebacker Ernest Jones IV.
While it was Greenlaw who paid the price and was ejected, a former Niner defensive lineman believes that the linebacker shouldn’t have been the only one thrown out of the game.
After Greenlaw’s ejection, former 49er Ian Williams wrote on X that Jones should’ve also been ejected from the game.
“Ernest Jones should’ve been ejected as well!” Williams wrote on Oct. 11 during the 49ers-Seahawks game. “He stepped into Dre Greenlaw face taunting! Don’t step into someone’s face without a helmet!”
Ernest Jones should’ve been ejected as well! He stepped into Dre Greenlaw face taunting!

Moreover, Williams followed up that post by saying he’s not too upset with how Greenlaw handled the situation that led to the headbutt with Jones.
“Dre Greenlaw really about that life,” Williams added on X. “Adrenaline on 1000. Just sprinted to make a tackle and got up around a sea of Seattle players talking [sh–], and one got in his face without his helmet and said something crazy. I’m not mad at Dre.”
