NFLPA likely can’t do anything about Miami team doctors now, I guess we’ll have to wait till the final report of the investigation come out. It’s reported both Miami team doctors and the UNC were interviewed on Friday.

Several mistakes……

one question: Tua had a “back” injury and wasn’t in concussion protocol leading to Thursday’s game, why was he checked for concussion symptoms everyday as stated by NFL? Does every player listed in injury report but not in concussion protocol get checked for concussion symptoms everyday? My understanding is “no”. So other than Tua, which other players not in concussion protocol is checked for concussion symptoms including by independent neuro expert everyday? what protocol is based on to check concussion symptoms on a player with “back” injury but not in concussion protocol?

😄

So Tua has a "back" injury and is not in concussion protocol leading to yesterday's game but he is still required to check for concussion symptoms every day? Is this something new in the "protocol"? Does NFL do that for all players suspecting to concussion these days? or just Tua only even he has a "back" injury?

on a related note, is there a way to hide threads created by certain users?

Divisional rivalry or not, hate to see any injury like this. Seems like a late hit and should be a roughing the passer penalty.

So how many more games before Tyreek started to make a scene?

One looks quite different to the other 😎

Watch Tua's every throw yesterday here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3A-q7UKWOA , and then reassess whether Dolphins are scary. Yes, every given Sunday, Jags game last year, etc, but Dolphins need better plays from Tua before they are in the conversation of "scary".

Comparing Josh's TD pass to Diggs and Tua's last pass yesterday when he got out of pocket and tried to make a throw without setting his feet in the link below, not sure what Dolphins fans/media try to complain about. https://youtu.be/g3A-q7UKWOA?t=398

For anyone didn't watch pats/dolphins game yesterday but saw Tua's stats, here is every of his throws yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3A-q7UKWOA To be fair, he did what his coaches asked him to do and he had an okay game, but there is no year 3 jump at least based on the first game. Tua is still the same quarterback as his was in first two years.

On fire!!

Everyone has different interpretation so I'll give you that. But obviously others may have different take on his statement. ------------------------------------------- Asked why the team did not have follow-up conversations with Galliard or try to talk to Jane Doe after July 31, Beane said: “I would say we had the boulders of what was going to be accused or alleged. But at that point, it wasn't an actual case. And there was, one of the things you look at is, where is this criminally? That’s what you're trying to find out. And so, we were just, again, trying to look at everything. (Any) one of those things on there, if true, would be a no go for us. You know what I mean? So we didn't need all that. We just needed to try and put as many facts together as we could in a limited amount of time.” Added Beane: “All we were trying to do was use our resources in the time we had to put the pieces together and find out what happened, and Matt was very aware if anything was not on the up and up during our process that we would remove him. Once this became a civil case two days ago, it was very serious in nature, and we felt it was in Matt’s best interest.” ------------------------------------------- The Bills released veteran punter Matt Haack on Monday, effectively declaring Araiza the winner of the punter competition. “It wasn’t a civil case,” Beane said. “There was no criminal case. What we had was accusations that could come forward and we were still piecing it together. Obviously, 48 hours ago or sometime around then, a civil case was filed. We read through that and circled back again with Matt. Again, it’s a lot of things that right now we can’t close the loop on.” -------------------------------------------

That not all Beane said when replying that question though. ------------------------------------------- Asked why the team did not have follow-up conversations with Galliard or try to talk to Jane Doe after July 31, Beane said: “I would say we had the boulders of what was going to be accused or alleged.

Just to be sure, is the part you feel doesn't make sense the following statement Beane made yesterday? Your take is that Buffalo Bills as a football organization, not a legal authority, should be able to get sufficient information to release Azaria before the suit and whatever Beane said about "trying to put facts around a legal situation, sometimes with limited information" is implausible? Or do you feel the part doesn't make sense is "obviously Matt's version was different. And you want to give everyone as much due process as you can" because of LA times article, knowing of ongoing investigation, contact by Daniel Gilleon, etc that they should ignore Azaria's version and shouldn't give everyone as much due process as they can? or it's the combination of both that you feel doesn't make sense? --------------------------------------------- “We were trying not to rush to judgment,” Beane said. “And obviously Matt's version was different. And you want to give everyone as much due process as you can. Again, we're not a judge and a jury. ... “I would say it’s not easy, you’re trying to put facts around a legal situation, sometimes with limited information, and so ultimately that’s where we’re at today with a decision." ---------------------------------------------

Beane was asked these kind of questions during the new conference. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/bills-release-punter-matt-araiza-after-lawsuit/article_2a696b94-2648-11ed-8873-afd9d1a64e51.html Beane said the team did not find out about the allegations until late July. The attorney for the alleged victim in the case, Daniel Gilleon, spoke with Kathryn D’Angelo, the Bills’ assistant general counsel, on July 31. Araiza's attorney, Kerry Armstrong, said Friday that he believed Araiza had told the Bills about the situation shortly after a June 3 story appeared in the Los Angeles Times. The story did not include the names of any San Diego State players. “We were trying not to rush to judgment,” Beane said. “And obviously Matt's version was different. And you want to give everyone as much due process as you can. Again, we're not a judge and a jury. ... “I would say it’s not easy, you’re trying to put facts around a legal situation, sometimes with limited information, and so ultimately that’s where we’re at today with a decision." ------------------------------------------- Asked if the release of the 11-page civil suit brought to light details he wasn’t aware of, Beane said: “Well, they were accusations,” Beane said. “It just clarified exactly what they were. And at that point, it's a real civil case. It's not a, this may happen. It's something that you have to respond to, and at this point we're not the judge and jury.” ------------------------------------------- Asked why the team did not have follow-up conversations with Galliard or try to talk to Jane Doe after July 31, Beane said: “I would say we had the boulders of what was going to be accused or alleged.

Again, it’s a lot of things that right now we can’t close the loop on.” ------------------------------------------- Beane said Araiza’s agent was unaware of the accusations until late July. “His agent did not know,” Beane said. “Our understanding without getting into it is that Matt learned sometime this summer that he was being investigated, and that’s when he hired, I don’t know the date, but I believe he hired his attorney sometime around the time we found out.”
