Tua training?

[bflat]

Listening to Joe Rose this morning, he referenced that Tua should be in the facility getting to know his guys(coaches/players?). Joe has obviously been heavily involved with the team for a long time and has friends high up the organizational ladder. He’s kind of giving off the impression that the team prefers him in house for off-season training.

I’ve seen a few of his training clips with his personal trainers and they’re attention grabbing on a Monday in March. But it is at least a little peculiar the team prefer him to be in the facility and he’s doing his own thing with personal trainers. I lean Tua apologist in a sense that the circumstances he’s had to deal with in his less than 20 starts would make it impossible for ANY quarterback to succeed.

At this point, the team has spent a ton of money and 5! draft picks this off-season to secure protection, a running game, and ELITE pass game options for a guy the new coaching staff seems to be all in on. If you’re not in Hawaii and working out down the road anyways, why not train in the new world class facility 10 minutes away?

What about the big question?

Did he practice throwing in the cold and in the rain yet?

 

[artdnj]

Both right, he sure af better be bonding/training with his boys and throwing wet, cold balls

The CBA prevents/limits when players are allowed to train at the team facility.

They have to wait until OTAs begin, otherwise he needs to train offsite.

He trains with Bowden at perform but believe there were other Miami receivers last year pretty sure it’s an open invite to if others wanted to join. Still way early in the off-season.

This makes sense. Odd why Joe would bring it up since he should know that

I like Joe, but he’s as smart as a box of rocks. He played the game, he knows the scoops, yet he’s always asking guys like Hyde etc for advice on the fins related stuff.

Another tua hater thread. There is a specific date players can start training at facity. Not yet. Mcdaniel still finalizing playbook

 

[FinPhan54]

To be clear on how this stuff works - the guy that puts Tua’s program together consults with the Dolphins training staff to make sure they are all in sync and on the same page.

Just because Per4rm is where he’s training, doesn’t mean he’s shunning the dolphins or their players. Everyone is very heavily involved and touching this.

This is extremely common in all sports.

I generally like Joe and don't think he's the type to BS for ratings and outrage. His playing days were long before the CBAs of today. Maybe he just had a brain fart.

Yes, word out of Dolphins headquarters, right after the season was over, they put him in a meat freezer with a sprinkler system, along with am industrial fan, and told him to complete passes.

After he was thawed out, his completion percentage was said to be in the 50s.

 

[Tupac Shakur]

only way he could train at facility right now is rehabbing an injury. jeepers joe, those synapses not firing on all cylinders.

Exactly.

Also, almost everytime we see him training, or on videos, he's working out with someone from the team
