Tua - Equipment options

[Dolfan4life]

Both in Bills game and Bengals his head whip lashed to the ground

Is it advisable to where a neck collar or butterfly brace to keep that neck from going that far back?

Helmet could be another thing to look at

I would think that support from keeping that head whipping back though would be something he should consider

Love Tua but I can admit he’ll probably be injury riddled his whole career.

He’s had a broken hip, thumb injury, fractured ribs, fractured finger, and likely 2 concussions in the past 28 games between the Dolphins and last game at Bama.

That’s a lot of injuries in under 2 seasons’ worth of games…

The injuries are definitely an issue

None of that really addressed what the op asked.

Ehh I question how many actual injuries he’s had. I don’t believe he was injured as much as he missed games under Flores. Think that was more of an excuse to pull him. Every player gets hurt and can play through certain things and more realistically if Tua didn’t have a coach that wanted him to fail he probably only misses 1 game with the rib injury last year and I don’t believe he was injured at all his rookie year that was just Flores trying to get Fitz in with Ross getting upset. I mean concussions are another thing and he needs to not take so many hits or brace for hits but I don’t see an issue

Ironically the solution might be using the same protection as former rival Don Beebe

THIS every player should be required to wear the Shell. They do at camp and practices why not in the game???

Kelso pushed Beebe to this after he was flipped and landed on his head in CLE

With ya. No idea why they dont use the shell as standard equipment.

It could be weight and affecting balance at game speed? I really just reaching in the dark here.
