Rofl all these couch warriors saying Maurer needs to “toughen up”.

 

[37620VOL]

Damn, Maurer needs to put on some weight and toughen the hell up.

You thinking like brain pushups? Cranium curls?

 

[au4life23]

They cant review and call a late hit sadly. Since the targeting was called on the field vs a late hit.

 

[G0V0LS33]

I think CJP was letting BM know the bad news. You done for the night son.

 

[alavolfan]

I hope Pruitt tells him to toughen up and get back out there!!

 

[GAVol]

How do you wipe off the late hit???

Because it wasn't

 

[kiddiedoc]

That wasn’t that bad of a hit, he needs to toughen up.

That's a penalty against every other QB in the league, every Saturday. Not targeting, but def a PF.

 

[whodeycin85]

If not targeting. Then roughing the pasasseri mean jeez

 

[CA_Vol]

Oh, so that wasn't forcible contract. Right.

It was at a minimum a late hit.

 

[CAVPUT]

That wasn’t that bad of a hit, he needs to toughen up.

Look at the replay again. The unnecessary hit caused him to fall and catch a leg of his own OL to the head. Had nothing to do with him being "tough".

 

[BadgerVol!]

All football weight rooms got that gnarly neck machine...

Yup and those increase the muscle tissue in your SKULL

 

[The Original Fade]

I wouldn’t expect anything less.

But that ain’t on Maurer

He’s left every game with an injury

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

What is Pruitt coaching Maurer on?

Not hitting his head when he gets forearm shivered to the ground?

 

[Nationdom]

With every catch by Jennings I realize more and more that we have absolutely no one to throw it to next year

We'll be fine

 

[Power T-Rev]

I hope Pruitt tells him to toughen up and get back out there!!

Smh

 

[grimvol]

You know they will overturn the targeting. Guess why?

because it wasn't targeting.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

That wasn’t that bad of a hit, he needs to toughen up.

He got shoved into a linemen’s knee after coming off a previous concussion. That was a pretty bad hit in that scenario.

 

[lifeisdeep]

Oh, so that wasn't forcible contract. Right.

It's not possible for a call (non-call) to be any more corrupt than that targeting getting reversed. And then the pathetic commentators trying to backtrack and say it wasn't targeting - just pathetic.

Saban probably told the kid to do it.

 

[volfanhill]

It wasn’t targeting, the kid is just soft needs to bulk up

His head is soft? I swear some of you must only breathe through your mouth

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

He’s soft as hell. Guess you missed the part where I said he needs to toughen up?

And yes, kid is rail thin. 15-20 pounds would help him immensely

Just unlucky. I bet you would be laid up for a year with some of the hits he has taken. The hit which just happened was freakish.

 

[wmcovol]

They can't beat him, so they knock him out.

I do think teams went after JG last year and Maurer this year.

 

[jbuchanan]

Already was

We had a glimmer of hope with Maurer. We've gotta have him for SC next week.

 

[G0V0LS33]

You thinking like brain pushups? Cranium curls?

CTE squats

 

[vol_smoothie]

Oh No, it's Geronimo. There goes all chance of playing a competitive game.

Maurer hurt on a fluke accident - I really believe the bad karma from our treatment of Johnny and Phil is still in place.

 

[joevol33]

It wasn’t targeting, the kid is just soft needs to bulk up

I'd say a knee to the back of the head would make us all soft.
