San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Anthony Davis took offense to Terrell Suggs suggesting that he was a “fake tough guy,” and hit back at the Baltimore Ravens linebacker via Twitter Wednesday.
Suggs joined Gary Radnich and Larry Krueger on KNBR 680 in San Francisco Wednesday to promote his movie, “The Coalition.” After talking about his movie, Suggs was asked about the comments of teammate Cary Williams, who called the 49ers “fake tough guys” following the Super Bowl.
“Nah, I’m not going to say who it was. It’s kind of irrelevant because the guy that said it, don’t go against the offensive line,” Suggs responded, per The Baltimore Sun.
Suggs was then asked if anyone on the 49ers offensive line was a fake tough guy. He said they had one fake tough guy, and process of elimination determined he was talking about Davis.
Word of Suggs’ criticism got back to Davis, who blasted Suggs via Twitter in response.
We went head to head in the Super Bowl. He made no plays.

Davis is known for getting a little crazy on Twitter at times, so it wasn’t surprising to see him go off in response. Sure, maybe Suggs saying that was somewhat out of line, but Suggs has never been one to hold back in interviews. And after winning the Super Bowl, he certainly has room to boast.
You have to figure this will give the Niners more motivation to come back stronger in the fall.
