Tua
- Thread starter MSUGUY
- Start date
Yeah, he got starched. He was put on ***** street last week. He should have never been in the game. Only 4 days rest. Hell, he shouldn't have been put back in the game last week. This is going to be a debacle. IMO the protocol wasn't followed. This is going to be a MAJOR issue for the NFL.
Not a good look for the Dolphins and the NFL. The way he was wobbling around last week was freaky. Seeing his hands curling up tonight was hard to watch.
I just don’t know if Tua is cut out for football. Start adding up some of the injuries he’s gone through and you start to wonder about his quality of life post-football.
That said, I don’t see how it reflects poorly on the Dolphins. He was cleared by the neurologist to return. Unless the Dolphins somehow tampered with the Doc - they seem to be in the clear.

Dude should quit football now. Even after these injuries he's gonna be so 17ed up in the head. Not to sound morbid, but he's heading down a path of low life expectancy.
Hope he's OK. I think I'd be retiring after that while I still had enough health to live a reasonable life.
Tebow did that in college once watch his hands flare after the back of his head hits the knee, slow motion replay

Let me say that I have no love list for Goodell or the NFL, but can I ask a question to the board? At what point is a player like Tua responsible for Tua’s health?
I was taught to always protect myself on the field. Not blaming Tua for his injuries, but he did very little to prevent them.
On last weeks, he allowed a guy to push him backwards and he fell like a statue. Never tried to tuck, roll or anything. This resulted in his head hitting hard. And the reason he wasn’t expecting it was because he was too busy watching his ball flight.
Last night he never tried to resist or accommodate the tackler; ie - land softly. Instead he styed high and was attempting to throw a pass instead if tacking the sack. He was surprised at how quick the lineman was. But you have to go down in that situation. Live for another day.
Hate if for him, but even the MSU injury seemed he put himself in a vulnerable position.

He’s a talented player but just too small for the NFL regardless of their ridiculous rules around hitting the QB. Hope he recovers and proves me wrong
Brees is small but knows to dump the ball before getting hit by men that can end your career with one hit.
He doesn't have to be like Payton and dump it off when anyone is within 5 yards but he still thinks he's in high school back there in the pocket. Same thing happened at State when his hip was injured. He has to protect his body and he hasn't done that.
