Clean hit, but watch how Tua was slammed down onto his back.

 

I assume all the damage came when he slammed into that turf.

 

It was painful watching it on TV.

 

I'm surprised guys aren't knocked out of games more often than they are, to be honest.

It was 100% clean, and in watching the replay he didn’t even put his weight on him when they fell. 
 

Not sure if this thread is supposed to be funny, but I’m not laughing.

I am a fan of Tua. He seems like a really great kid but I did not see any foul, unless he was hit in the face. I didn't see the play from the direction Tua was facing.

 

Other than that It looked like a perfectly clean play to me.

Fan of Tua?

 

I could see if you liked him in college or something but as soon as he’s drafted by the Fish that fandom should go the way of the passenger pigeon.

I was impressed by the athleticism AJ showed in making sure he DIDNT slam him. He went above and beyond to cradle the dude.  Would be a disgrace if he got fined. Go re watch the end of the hit

Watch it again; that's why Tua was hurt; he came down on his back with a big dude on top of him.


I think you mean he didn't flamboyantly slam him or whatever.

I remember when Miami owned us and won every game against us forever.

 

And I hated Dan Marino and guys like Mark Duper as much as anyone at the time!  

 

But come on, man.  The rivalry between these 2 franchises is so dead now, your comments don't really add up anymore.

 

Both teams slipped into irrelevancy after the Kelly vs. Marino Wars, and stayed there for 2 decades!  

 

Any rivalry that used to exist (and oh how it was a good one) was killed during that time.


If I had to name a real rivalry that exists today, I would say New England vs. Bills, certainly not Miami.

 

Or maybe KC vs. Bills!  I hope that is the rivalry of the future.  We have to actually beat them at some point to make that happen, however.

I think you definitely need to re-watch. He didn’t come down on top of him. In fact, he did all he could to keep his weight off of him imo.

Might be what hurt him but AJ came full steam with all the momentum in the world, and managed to shave off everything he could on the way down. He got his hands and knees down to keep his weight off him!

 

Fining a hit like this will be more of a detriment to QBs than not fining him. Theres literally nothing more he could do to not kill Tua. Fine this and players are just gunna let it rip. If youre getting fined for this, mind as well finish the hit!!!

Haha… New England? We were never good at the same time. 

 

We owned then in the 90’s, then they owned us, that’s not a rivalry. Pats rivalry was the colts, and Id even say the Ravens. We never rivaled them in their stretch. You might have thought of them as a rival, but they certainly never did. 
 

Fish have always been our rival. Both good at the same time, both bad at the same time. 
 

I don’t see Pats as our rival now, and if you do you’re living in the past. They’re the least of our worries. The only point I’ll agree to of yours is that the chiefs seem to be someone we may have a rivalry with in the future if all things progress as expected, but even they don’t think much of us after the last few outings.

Its not AJ's fault Tua is made of glass


Another view of Tua…

 


I don’t relish guys getting hurt, but he is frail, and he’s going to get really hurt at some point.  AJ did absolutely nothing wrong on that play.  It was a very clean hit and he did not drive his body into him on the ground.

Fine should be coming down soon for the dirty hit that knocked Tua out.  

 

How much do you think it will be?

Whats the finable offense - Hitting the glass man too hard?

 

Did he lead with his head? - Nope

Was contact to the head or neck of Tua? - Nope

Was contact above the knees? - Yes

Did he land with all his weight on the QB? - Nope

 

Whats the finable offense
