Tua Tagovailoa Back In Concussion Protocol, Could Be Out For Rest Of Season?! | Pat McAfee Reacts 

Lukeeeee, will never forget those days

@@r.j.shamberger3723 luke managed to secure himself a major deal before he bounced which is week history splits from Tua's who I feel is putting his life at risk to secure the bag smh

Retirement is probably the only smart option

It’s a violent game and not all humans are equal. Dude has one of the weakest bodies in recent memory. Very talented but can’t stay healthy

He was a dawg

He had symptoms after the game and the next day. Happened on the sack he took when he spun around and back of his head hit the ground.

@@ericsinclair1826 This isnt totally uncommon, its happened in the NBA more than a few times over the years where a player hits their head very innocuously. Last year Donovan mitchell ran into a screen kinda hard and played the rest of the game and woke up the next day and had concussion symptoms and he was out 2.5 weeks. So it was a somewhat significant concussion and he didnt have any symptoms during the game.

His numbers in the 1st half vs the second half looks like prime rodgers vs Zack Wilson. So I definitely wouldn't be surprised if that play really did concuss him. 1st half: 9/12, 229 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs 2nd half: 7/13, 81 yards, 0 TD, 3 INTs

@@qaxcgyujm The spotter thing is what I'm most confused by. Like it's literally their job to notice these things, no matter how minor they may be yet dude's on the internet can notice it like you said

Probably his 4th concussion. He got rocked on a play against Cleveland too. He came out and then nobody said another word about it.

Missed what? He never wobbled, he didn’t report symptoms to the staff during the game. Are they supposed to pull him every time his head touches the ground?

@@ChipperJones99 just frustrating when talking heads say the Dolphins failed him by not protecting him from himself or recognizing symptoms. NFL's own spotters missed this play, so it's harder to recognize these issues than most people think.

@@ChipperJones99 If they see his head bounce off the ground, they should do preliminary checks once it's a change of possession and he goes to the sidelines. It's not hard. If it's nasty, then yeah he comes off immediately and goes into protocol. If it's questionable like this, then do a quick screening before he grabs the tablet and determine if he needs to go to the tent.

@@ChipperJones99 I hear you but by doing so, it would be consistent with Teddy being evaluated when he did not wobble earlier in the year.

@@josephagundez5336 This time is different because he didn’t show signs of impairment after the hit. People were upset with Miami for putting him back in that game after the world saw him grab/shake his head, stumble and collapse after hitting his head. I don’t blame Miami or the spotters for not pulling him after this one.

Which is why I think he should sit out the rest of season, recover, play next season and it will make an amazing comeback player of the year story, assuming he stays healthy…. However 3 concussions in 3 months, he may need to call it quits to save tua from tua since we know he wants to play

@@masanchez34 Yeah I think he should retire he’s already made Millions but at this point is his long-term health worth it

@@scj1668 too bad some nfl players don’t see it that way. They continue to play through injuries, hide them etc. I just wish him the best and hope he makes the best decision for him, not the Miami Dolphins

@Al his body isn’t made for the NFL, he got wrapped up in the legs and still got a concussion. He limped into the league with 5 surgeries including a possible career ending hip injury,and if he continues they might put him on a stretcher again.

@Al so he should play after having three concussions in one season?

after the game he told docs he had concussion symptoms

Tua self reported potential symptoms on Monday. It still has not been confirmed that he had an actual concussion from Tua or his actual doctors. So far the only thing that has been confirmed is that nobody wants to see their favorite team play against the Dolphins with Tua under center.

@@HawgWyldFishing no one is scared of Tua buddy 😂

@@Lilrookie08 prior to this year maybe. The only people saying that now are the idiot fans who don't actually understand the game.

@Hawg Wyld Fishing my injured team destroyed tua and herbert shredded you guys.

Nah

Some body types just aren't designed to withstand the intensity of repeated NFL collisions.

Isaiah Danforth tua is a bust he cant read NFL defense when he's not injury prone he's throwing interceptions .Brian Flores was right about him but dolphins blamed Brian becase tua is a mid player

@Stephen Crisafulli he hasn't proving anything he cant beat good teams he's a bust he gets exposed week after week only person that can save the dolphins is Lamar Jackson

@Stephen Crisafulli Ive seen plenty of other QBs get hit and hit their head hard and nobody bats an eye…

@Stephen Crisafulli did you just start watching this year? Brady has made a career of getting down and not taking hits.

i'm pretty sure that isn't scientifically proven, the common sense of it might be true though? i've read some of the summaries of the studies that came out after the whole nfl thing awhile back... and its pretty wishy washy, human brains react differently from person to person, and most doctors arent going to knock patients out to see first hand if their theories hold water

Without a doubt !

Sad, but true.

as an Mma guy, thats exactly what I thought when tt went down early in the season. should have waited until next season, and done a ton of cardio, lionsmane, and rest

Exactly! Why? Because the nfl is INTENTIONALLY misleading people by centering the concussion protocol around symptoms. Your brain isn't healed, just because you don't have symptoms!!! They brain takes months to heal after head trauma, that is so severe, that is causes symptoms. The nfl tells players that they are cleared to go when the symptoms disappear. Neurologists can measure brain activity baseline levels and determine if your brain is functioning properly and restored to its baseline. After an injury brain activity decreases. You may or may not have symptoms. If you sustain an additional brain injury while your brain activity is diminished, it exacerbates the original injury exponentially. It brings the brain activity levels down further. When they get too low, you go into permanent brain damage territory. Your brain must fully heal and go back to baseline. Taking 2 weeks off after a concussion is insufficient. You're looking about more like 2 months. The NFL pretends like it is doing something, for liability purposes. Unfortunately, the entire concussion protocol is based on the presentation of symptoms, which is the improper thing to measure.

NFL player safety spokesperson

I’m sure we wouldn’t even be able to count how many guys over the last 50 years of NFL football have toughed it out, some of those guys were fine, some weren’t. This is the NFL in the age of modern medical tech.

@@RoscoMontana21 There's also the fact that sometimes you don't realize something is wrong. Like the receiver that couldn't even stand still to line up but was still trying to play.

Same thing happened in the Bills game week two. They're killing the kid (letting him kill himself) if they keep letting him play before next Fall.....

We need to normalize the concussion protocol on every level of football.

@@tpolutts3309 True - your brain is obviously compromised when concussed, so you might not have the wherewithall to take yourself out

i’m very sorry to hear that. i hope your son is doing better and is healthy.

I struggled to finish my engineering degree without concussions

@@axg5929 honestly, he's on his own and getting along OK, I guess, but he's not the same person and doesn't talk to us anymore. Concussions are no joke!

Exactly, his body cant take a hit. Retire, enjoy your life, and he hasn't taken a beating, he just cant take a hit without consequences. Give it up dude

Houston, san fran, then the greenbay game.

Or being dead, horrible but possible.

coldcrushcorey tua is mid as anyway dude cant read defense man Brian Flores was right about him but dolphins made flores the scapegoat

Easy for you to say. You’re not on the last years of a ROOKIE contract. He’s going to lie like Carson Wentz did and get that monster contract THEN go out permanently injured.

Honestly the damage could very well already be done.

Same. Had one and didn't feel it until the next morning when I couldn't walk due to balance.

If that’s the case no young man should play football.

@@renaissanceman8581 no, because not everybody is built the same. re-think your logic

@@BeepBop322 or just listen to all the ex players whine and complain about their quality of life. Get back in your lane.

Being an announcer for MNF with Joe Buck?

@@Mufasa7777stop it bro this happens to QBs all the time. This is nothing new

You mean he'll be a HOF'er!!! Sweeeet!!!

So a Superbowl champion?

You might be better without him lol

You weren't making the playoffs either way 🤷🏾‍♂️

Dolphin unsafe Tua

U hate it. I'm a colts fan living in the Cleveland area....😢

Fins down brother. Fins down

AB good

@@hakeemtarpley2998 AB had his iq halfed after taking a massive crack to his dome piece. I'd rather Tua retire after a decent season than continue to play and become a menace to society.

@@curt367 wow thanks for the history lesson dipshit I been with AB before God knew you

@@hakeemtarpley2998 *I've been

@@curt367 how kind

... What do you think Helmets do?

Won't help. It's not the padding. It's the brain moving back and forth.

So nothing for him? Lol

@@jkallday52 what is he supposed to do, moron? He’s just a fan, it’s not his job to do anything.

@@jkallday52*tips fedora*

@@jkallday52 ur so cool bruh

@@Sir_Robin_of_Camelot sweet! Thanks

Concussed people generally don't think there's anything wrong.

Finally! Something of note! The previous 30 guys just spewed crap about Dolphins losing or Tua not knowing how to fall. Clearly none of them payed football outside Xbox.

Charmin soft.

@@clownindan so soft it'll make your head bounce!!
