"We jammed him out of bounds, and he decided he was going to run the sideline," Haslett said. "Well, he is supposed to run the white. He can't run all the way behind the bench. He was coming at me, so I figured it was me or him."

As he was talking, Haslett demonstrated how he used his forearm to fend off Torrence.

"If he is going to run me over, I was going to get him," Haslett said. "I got a good shot on him. I didn't want to get run over. You see those coaches get toppled. Yeah, that wasn't going to be me."

Asked if he was concerned about getting into a physical altercation with the 5-foot-11, 182-pound Torrence, Haslett, who played linebacker for nine seasons in the NFL, said, "I'm bigger than he is. He's not that big, so I would have been all right."

I read that too. Why is a coach on the sideline giving a forearm to a player? Isn't there some rule against that? If not, can Blache please give TO the business next time he is near our sideline?
