I’m here after Tua non-concussion. Looked up NFL concussion protocol. Saw reference to Mahomes. Looked that up. Landed here. Wanna talk about Tua? Not a hard tackle/hit. But he’s got sux feet feet of leverage from his heels to his head, so falling backwards like that the velocity with which his head impacts the ground is significant. As he was getting up, he was shaking his head. As he was walking back to the huddle, he was shaking his head. Then he wobbled a few steps and tell downZ “It was a back injury.” Now, I don’t know if he actually passed the concussion protocol. Hard to imagine the Dolphins and their independent neuro doc rubber stamping it and sending him back out there. (There should be an NFL exec in every tent, too, imho). It’s possible that a stinger or a back injury buckled his knees. I doubt it. It’s also possible that he legit passed protocol. If he did, it’s also possible the protocol isn’t sufficient to flag every concussion. In fact I would say likely. Concessions are diagnosed strictly on reported symptoms and clinical examination. So they are entirely subjective. Nothing about them - mechanism, pathology, signs, treatment, recovery, etc - is particularly well understood. But he definitely looked like he was concussed! And the shot to the head that Tee Huggins took from career headhunter LaMarcus Joyner drew a flag… but no concussion protocol. After suffering a concussion ONE WEEK after a previous concussion. There is still a LOT of room for improvement. As for the video above… wow o cannot believe the reaction, from referees on have to comments made here. That was such a dangerous, deliberate, malicious **assault** disguised as a football play. There is NO place for someone like that in ANY sport. I love big, bone jarring, clean hits. I am against cheap shots by psychopaths that can ruin someone’s life.
Well like it’s said defenses will evolve with offenses as of now in the nfl most defenses have old players but once they get younger players mahomes will have trouble escaping the pocket just like when this happened.
@@daa_97 Yes, but there are QBs that take cheap shots like that and are not knocked out of the game. Still in all if you need a more tracking example, how about Mason Rudolph who got hit by a Earl Thomas a couple of years back? Now is your incredulity satisfied?
Earnest Peeples, Jr they aren’t always proof. Is Drew Brees not a HoF because he only has 1? Was Dan Marino being put into the HoF absurd because he never won a Super Bowl? Regardless, Pat does have a ring now...
@@thedude1056 from Quandre Diggs... Jesus bro read into it a bit. And no, but if they can keep Mahomes in the pocket they'll just play bend don't break like they have all season. Lion's offense can go toe to toe with anyone. I sense a shootout coming.
