Happened in the Philly game, and the only guys that were clearing a spot were those on the field. I'm guessing if it were legal, more guys would have come off the sideline to help.

Technically, anyone can be on the field and play, regardless of position. We see it all the time when a 12th guy has to run off the field.
Now, there are rules about 12 being in the huddle, or 11+ being on the field during a play, but if its during a timeout, anyone "could" be playing on the next snap.
In this situation, it would be 30 anyones one the field. And they are players. And players can use their hands and feet, according to this set of guidelines.
If this were the superbowl, and people knew all week it was going to snow heavy, I'd absolutely have my team ready for this scenario.
