So what the penalty for this?

 

So now Tua has an excuse for the INTs... good keep the fools gold in Miami for another year.

   There needs to be a huge fine , suspension and forfeiture of draft capital!

    The player and the organization clearly have a pattern of hiding game ending injuries against the safety protocols installed by the league because of said player.

Do we need to donate to his charity again?

Wow 3 in one season. Very scary.

Yeah and in two of them he was kept in the game which is just insane negligence.

Cleary Miami's "system" needs to be investigated by a third party at this point. This is unacceptable.

 

This is THE player the league has instituted new scrutiny over 

 

Oh I don’t know…..you think the team that he plays for would be paying extra attention to him.  Especially him. 
 

 

THEY DON’T CARE

[Motor26]

So much for the league upgrading their safety protocols.

Nothing.  If Tua didn’t say anything and nobody noticed during the game, who else can be blamed?

Tua cheated, again, Tua can be blamed.

[HappyDays]

Maybe there could be something to this?

I didn't see him hit his head at all in the game... I wonder if this is an emotional concussion.

I mentioned that tweet in another thread yesterday. You can clearly see his head bounce off the ground. I'm surprised they don't have people, you know, looking out for this stuff, especially with a player with a history of concussions.

 

Well if he can't go next game you'd have to think they're screwed. Despite his troubles recently their offense was even worse without him in there, and that was before defenses had caught up to what they're doing

[vanhalen26]

Poor guy.  That sucks.  You can probably blame Miami for not identifying that first one and letting him play and getting the second.

 

If this is indeed true, probably best for his long term health to shut it down this season and see how he fares after a full off season.  Sadly those predictions of a ruined career may prove correct, but best bet is to shut down now and see how next year goes.

 

I’m no fins fan, but feel sorry for the kid.  Was even becoming a descent rivalry again.

This definitely is it. He smashed his head on the ground hard just like the previous 2 concussions he had this year…. Would be interesting to see if he hit his head again  in this game after that one. …. So sad to see this to a young man.

Holy hell. If this is true what the hell happened during the game to allow him to keep playing??

This bring me back to the Bills game. The answer is in there somewhere. This team just doesn't respect concussions

[Bubba Gump]

I saw it as it happened and was shocked no one from upstairs said to pull him off the field to check him. Tua gonna own the Dolphins soon. He could be broken for good. The organization is dumb AF!!!

[Captain Hindsight]

How does Miami miss this again? They already fired one guy over this and the league changed a bunch of protocols over this very player?

 

McNerd has some explaining to do

Or his PR team came up with an unverifiable way to explain the Pressure Bursting those Pipes for Tua. 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

3 concussions in 1 season? Is that a record?

[JerseyBills]

Very irresponsible by the Dolphins staff. You're literally playing with his future on n off the field.. brutal..

 

At the same time, the independent concussion guy or whatever it's called missed it too. So the whole system failed him

I believe some here were speculating Josh Allen suffered a concussion vs Green Bay as well. Leading to a stretch of strange decisions for a few weeks.

[TBBills Fan]

Damn this feels like it won't end well.  There's a lot of blame to go around here and tua holds some, but I feel bad for him and he will pay the most of it doesn't end well 

 

The dolphins should send him to a wrestling school. They can focus on how to take a bump without hitting his head to the ground!

Or, get this. The defender adjusted?

This. I got a little snow ball in the back. It almost made a bruise. Jokers. 

[Solomon Grundy]

Has anyone been over to Finheaven yet?? 😂😂

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Tua may not have experienced symptoms right away. Or at least they weren’t visible to those around Tua earlier on. Concussions are very serious but not always detected or reported by the player.

SHould be 3 strikes and you're out for the rest of the season... that is a crazy amount of times to damage your brain in a short time span.

[frostbitmic]

Someone needs to get Tua a desk job.

Yeah. I really despise the Dolphins but like

Tua. He seems like a great person and it’s sad to see him go through this. He deserves better. 

[Shortchaz]

I am the MOST concerned about Tua, more than any other poster!!!  
 

I REALLY care about professional athletes getting concussions.

"Missed it".  Just like, "back injury".

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

I don't wish for injuries. But boy, do the Dolphins deserve this. They are hanging by a thread and I want to see them tumble off

If we want to win the Super Bowl, we need to stay in the good graces of Vegas and the nfl. Yes. Donate. 

At the rate he's getting concussions his charity will end up making more money than his rookie contract is worth.

Late 2nd quarter. His head smacked against the ground pretty hard

 

AGAIN. 

 

Like with Morse, with each successive concussion the risk becomes more severe. I don’t know what the answer is, but Tua is not big enough or athletic enough to protect himself. I do think there should be some some of penalty for the Dolphins for allowing this to happen repeatedly. I suggest all their draft picks be awarded to the Bills for the back spasm/roasted opponent game when this all began.  Who is with me??? 😋

 

The Epenesa “hit” was really just a shove, and he wound up concussed. That was about as gentle as professional football can be, and he was broken.  He’s certainly not helping his team tossing multiple ugly picks with his foggy mind. I want the Dolphins to lose, but not like that. 

[Seventeen]

If he is getting concussed on small hits like this, he should retire.  Guy is just getting dumber and less athletic with every shove. 

 

Agreed, it appeared that he spun around in the tackle and landed on his back. The fact he played the rest of the game, did a press conference afterwards, 

and then had symptoms today is concerning for his long-term health.

[Bubba Gump]

Anyone remember Gisele blowing the whistle on Tommy having multiple concussions that were never reported? Scumbag organizations gonna do whatever it takes to win. Miami and NE two of the scummiest.

You mean to tell me there Is a possibility, slight of course, that a coach only cares about results in a result driven league?

 

I don't know, that sounds outlandish and fishy.
