One thing about Tua...

[Bumrush]

I know many of us were concerned with his injury history but so far he's managed to stay relatively healthy (save for the freak thumb injury in practice) after taking some big hits and having his ankle rolled.

In watching a lot of his tape at Alabama it was clear that in an effort to extend plays he often took big hits, some of which resulted in injuries. This year I see him sliding early, running out of bounds and bracing himself for contact when the pocket breaks down.

I think it's a testament to the coaching staff that he's been risk averse as it relates to playing with reckless abandon and if he continues to play under control the easily injured narrative will be a thing of the past.

Playing smart helps.
Luck helps too- taking those hits the right way. Last Sunday when - I think it was Davis- when he stepped on Tua's ankle, I thought, Oh man, here we go.
But nope. Maybe Tua's bad luck has run out NO JINX.

I think those concerns are irrelevant now. I am one of those who expessed them regularly, but he is a Dolphin now.

I hope for his continued health, the same as I would any other QB.

What's the benifit in worrying about it now?

Hell look at McSorley last night! Dude was not touched just planted wrong. You just never know.

That's why you have double preventive ankle procedures at Alabama. To keep you healthy in Miami!

I thought about that!! I wonder if that saved him. Because that didn't look good.

Who knows. As long as those ankles stay healthy!

It’s exactly the reason he will be playing this Sunday....that was a rough shot he took to the ankle .

Predicting injuries in football is just a waste of your time, worrying about them is flat out not good for you...
