That throw down to ground was that violent, I think most, if not all, would’ve been concussed by that. It’s just terrible optics all round. Yeah, definitely a fair argument. I've seen players in other sports though that have had a recent history of concussion get re-concussed with the most lightest of head contacts though. For me, it is an accumulation. But it won't be proven, and that take down was enough to concuss someone, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) I don't know why everyone is so down on Ruxin. He's doing whatever it takes to win the Shiva, like anyone would.

I just hope that the Dolphins are forced into considering this the second concussion in one week. It’s a different algorithm than someone’s first concussion. If they treat this like the first concussion, he has a decent chance of being on the field next week…which is insane at this point. At some point common sense must prevail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not last season in that Chiefs-Chargers game on TNF that a player had a similar reaction and was hospitalised from how hard he hit the turf?

At some point common sense must prevail The coaches needed to use their eyes and be able to figure out that a player who struggled to walk after head trauma probably shouldn't be thrown back into action four days later - regardless of whether a single doctor said it was okay.

Hunter2_1 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 It was never a dirty hit. Outcome over action is a stupid way of judging things like this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do. I do too. And looking at results it's pretty easy to see why: McVay - Super Bowl champ, currently 2-1 Zac Taylor - AFC Champ, currently 2-2 Kevin O'Connell - currently 2-1 in first season as coach Matt LaFleur - three 13-3 seasons to start his career Liam Cohen will be a HC next year and we will probably see similar success. Staley isn't doing great, but the jury is still out. Taylor started worse and ended up taking the Bengals to the Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were largely the same team as they are this year, they just lived off of heaving it to Chase. It’s unfortunate that he probably bought himself at least 2023, even if Cincy bottoms out this year. Hey right on. Nothing wrong w/ that. Their success could be passed around to many people along w/ Burrow's development even though he was getting destroyed all year. I think coaching had a lot to do w/ it especially b/c the team is so young. Nothing wrong w/ disagreeing though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to Tua is sad but there are only so many precautions that can be made before the game devolves to two-hand touch. It was simply a clean play in a violent sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point common sense must prevail I don't want to see him back for another 3-4 weeks, and even then only in the base case scenario with his recovery (and passing every test with flying colors). He has not only his career but his life after football to think about at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milano's hit wasn't all that dirty either. Ever so slightly late, but really just a shove. Nothing dirty, intentional, or egregious. Just a very unfortunate result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s what you got from my comment, then I feel sorry for you. Just because I think the hit was dirty doesn’t absolve the Dolphins for what they did. FYI - Putting Tua out on the field 4 days after having a concussion is crazy. Everyone should already understand that, but I guess people like you need everything spelled out.

But we all know what happened last night to Tua falls at the feet of the Dolphins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
