JaBu Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 In the interview Tua was asked what the hardest stadium was for him to play in. His answer "Buffalo"......."that was electrifying." around the 3:13 mark Also said he is now taking a Judo class once a week so he can "learn how to fall" to avoid future concussions. around the 2:20 mark She's not the greatest interviewer 😕 https://twitter.com/i/status/1624162520478130176 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I mean, common sense and basic defense mechanisms ingrained into our nature should tell you to protect your head from banging full force against the ground. But hey, haya young man. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Wait, I heard his own home stadium is actually deadly to play in. Players have nearly almost possibly died there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Judo isn't going to help his situation at this point. He's already had too much brain trauma. And if he doesn't miss ALL OF NEXT YEAR, it will get worse, not better. Enjoy the judo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Judo is actually a good idea. One of the first things they teach you is how to fall with your shoulders back and neck up. Apparently, he hasn't been taught this before but not a bad idea to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Tua should probably retire. It's not worth it risking another concussion. He had two confirmed concussions last year vs the Bengals and Packers. He probably had one against the Bills, but they never confirmed it.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone else put their arms to the side when falling before... Judo may help, tumbling/ gymnastics would to. Better late than never? I despise the Dolphins and say nasty things about Tua when we play them, but I honestly find him hard to dislike as a person. Mac Jones, Zach Wilson etc not so much. Easy to dislike those two. I hope he doesn't have any long term effects. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judo will help him not slam his head against the ground....he just has to apply the break fall effectively. You're taught that day 1. But for head to head hits, it won't help him there. 23 minutes ago, Roundybout said: Judo is actually a good idea.

But hey, haya young man. I’ve noticed Allen is also pretty terrible at protecting his head. He almost always nonchalantly lets his head hit the ground first when he gets pressured in the pocket or behind the LOS. Watch Brady and you see his head rarely hits the ground. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of Allen's happen when he's trying to sell a late hit or something, almost like flopping intentionally. I have noticed it as well and it's dangerous none the less.

Joe Burrow does this too. When the sack is inevitable, they turtle, protect the ball, and live to fight another down. I live Josh extending plays, but there has to be a middle ground where he can protect the ball better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's going to take quite a bit of training for it to become second nature so that he doesn't have to think about it. Otherwise, it won't help at all.

Goin Breakdown Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Cant stand the dolphins or their fans, but Tua is a hard guy not to like. I wish him the best I just don't think he should play anymore. (If he were my kid). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no reason for that to have happened When Milano barely pushed him and he fell back and slammed his head on the turf you knew there was a problem. Tua falling looks a little like EJ trying to slide. WHY IS THAT SO HARD? EJ looked like a baby giraffe sliding. Did he never even play tee-ball?
