Well it is official. Tua out, Skylar in.
To make it clear I am making a technical medical point, the moral discussion is a separate one. Make the correct technical decision relative to protocol, and then have the moral discussion.
From a technical perspective, relative to the concussion protocol currently in place, I find it very hard to believe Tua would not be able to get through the process if they so chose.
He could go back on the field and practice and get through protocol, with flying colors at this point, in my view.
Therefore, he is being held out of the game for other reasons.
As far as Bridgewater goes, call me crazy, I think he is tapping out of the game. Gutless. My suspicion is both Shell and Armstead will be out, and he thinks they have no chance, so Teddy is tapping out, before he goes 0-5.
He did not break his finger, it was just dislocated, and popped right back in to place.
He should be ready to go at this point.
But if one doesn’t want to go, not too hard not to act like you cant fully grip the ball and make certain throws, just like it is not too hard to claim not fully recovered from a hamstring or ankle injury and limp around practice if you want.
Bridgewater is a no good loser bum in my view.
