Tua also needs to think of every defensive player that'll be going into the game every week wondering to themselves if they're gonna be the one that makes that 'final play' that truly injures Tua.. People are certainly not simply being dramatic when they talk about this decision...but Acho's opener was spot on *for once..to the next person that might have some sense in this situation.. don't play the odds with your life!
I don't care about Tua not retiring. I care about how his family going to deal with him. Because he plays so recklessly, he is going to have complications post-football that will cost a lot of money, time, and emotional support. You can play for your family all you want. They are the ones that going to have to deal with the complications.
The cover won’t do anything if his head bounces off the ground and I heard that the cover makes your helmet heavier and the heavier the helmet the harder his head will hit the ground.
It'll lessen the impact, but won't prevent him from having another after a hard tackle or fall. The damage to his head cannot reset after all those concussions.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Tua wears the most QB protected helmet they make that is supposedly as safe as adding the cap so it doesn't make sense to add the cap for his helmet right? He switched to it last year I think.
I agree it’s up to Tua, but what about the defenders? They’re already on edge afraid that they could be the reason he suffers another concussion. It’s not fair for the opponents to play the game in fear of Tua’s safety, potentially his life on the line.
Its not the other players responsibility. By Tua stepping on that field, hes taking his own safety into his own hands. If he refuses to get better at protecting himself and he wants to play, thats on him
@rcng086 you get a concussion when your brain smashes against your skull. A cap on the outside of your helmet doesn't cushion your brain from hitting the inside of your skull.
What a Brilliant convo. As a life long Dolphins fan that has suffered. I just can’t see this kid do this again. I loved this segment cause they saw both sides
I've had 8 concussions. Im 47. Im very lucky to be able to function as well as I do. I do suffer from some things. I really hope this young man stops soon! Prayers.
You suffer from being a good man my brother and yes I don't know you but I rather say inspirational things than put someone down people do that enough ...I hope you continue to function well and if you have kids I hope you see the family through generations .
I’ve had several myself while I was in the military. Two of them put me in the hospital. The last one was twenty years ago - I still suffer the effects today. Ultimately it’s his decision and I hope he does well.
The odds for Tua are: 50% chances to end up a vegetable before I hit 40 if I play every day with my mates, or 100% chances of getting depressed to death staying home all day. Easy choice.

Tua is playing with fire right now. He just received the clearest message he’s ever going to get in the fact that the guy who died on the field gave him a not so hard hit that knocked him out. I will never question his toughness, I just hope we dont see a worst case scenario happen
Tua choses to ignore what he, as a fervently religious man, should construe as a direct sign from the Heavens: he got concussed colliding with a man, Damar Hamlin, whom God litterally sent back from the dead. Tua, you have been served. Think again.

Tua will NEVER think health over performance/being an athlete and wealth for his family. Why? Because we’ve seen how he was formed in his head in that ESPN interview clip of him and his parents. You can just google: Tua + dad + belt. And then read the Sports Illustrated article that comes up, or look atthat ESPN interview clip. And just know. He was beaten with a belt by his Dad after training, games, if he made mistakes or didn’t perform up to his Dad’s standards. In his teens. Not for being a bad person, a bully, because he hurt others, did not show respect. Because of performance in a sport or practise was not up to Daddy’s standards!? Because he was primed to become a millionaire athelete in the NFL and seen as the whole family business. You just have to read that SI article, or watch the ESPN clip with his parents. To get how he got to a point where he views things like that now. Sound like that in the presser now. And why probably no one in his family (Mom or Dad) tries to make him change his mind. They instilled that in him.
Bruhhh it's Tua's Decision!!!! How in the world can we tell another MAN what he should do? It's his choice, his body. Don't think for a second that he doesn't know what might come with this. I mean come on....surely he's seen the replays of the fencing of his fingers. He wants to play...he's been cleared, let him play. His choice, let him play.
The unbelievably passive attitude of the Dolphins is puzzling. Are they serious? Are they really planning to roll the dice over such a high concussion probality on every snap? I hope for Miami they are actively pursuing another starter.
I refuse to watch him play anymore. My prayers are with him, but I don't want to witness an inevitable tragedy that could've been prevented with common sense.
Grown man has one life let him do what he wants shouldn’t be telling him to retire if he doesn’t want to. he knows exactly what he’s getting into ur not doctors or medical professionals either

Right, and he's taking care of his family. His family supports his decision to play again. That's just reality. Just cause y'all don't agree with it, doesn't mean him and his family aren't in lockstep with him playing.

Damar Hamlin having one cardiac arrest can increase the risk of experiencing subsequent cardiac arrests, through his life. It happened to a close relative that didn’t even play football. He had CA one early in his life and 5 years later he got it again and passed.
Man we see fighters get knocked out so many times and fight the next fight and we don’t even know about possible concussions while training. So it’s his life, if he wanna play then that’s on him.
@@ahastar1141 They have an off-season and they only play a max of 21 games depending on if they make the playoffs. Also you clearly don’t follow combat sports if you think your average fighter is taking 6 months in between fights. They also aren’t fighting with any protection.
I feel bad for the player that has to put the next hit on Tua. I’m kinda shocked the nfl hasn’t stepped in and sidelined him this year. This could be a terrible look for them if he goes back out there and gets another concussion. But of course he’s wants to play $$$. All those guys would wanna play and most of us would to.
The NFL can't and won't do anything. They would have to intervene over 200 concussions/year, and make life-changing decisions? Not their business. It's each player's responsibility. After all, they all chose violence for money.
Tua has only had 1 bad concussion and because Miami didn’t handle it better he ended up with another 1 and now every knock is blown way out of proportion for tua! It’s not as bad as what the media states
I play the odds everyday commuting an hour to work and going for long bike rides. Life can be dangerous and a lot of people take some risks each day for a lot less than one million dollars per week.
Tua is a HERO! Hamlin DIED on the field everybody celebrated his return. Not one player in the NFL has gotten there without a concussion. Tell a soldier not to deploy because he may die they’ll look at you crazy because that’s understood when they sign up. LET TUA DO TUA.
I think the issue is hamlins situation was a one off, and its not like he rushed back to the field either. He played a little last year but hes been eased back into it and taken precautions. Tua and the dolphins have let Tua play through clear concussions not thinking about his longevity. I think the issue people have with Tua is hes not improving his safety. Hes not falling right, this last concussion it was super easy for him to slide down but instead he decides to lead with his head? Dude has kids and a family, he just got a guaranteed bag. For those kids having a dad who is full functioning and present in their lives is going to mean more than some extra money. Ultimately, he has to absolutely get serious about protecting himself on the field. His inability to do that, knowing the risks is what frustrates people
@@beazy33641 of them was getting sacked in I believe a Bengals game. I think he got the looking like a ragdoll when getting tackled thing fixed, but dude needs to realize his head isn’t supposed to be used as a weapon because him going head first into Hamlin was the dumbest thing he could have done.
Obviously i never played at the level that tua did. But i cant blame him for his decision. I loved playing football and when my health was compromised and I was told not to play i listened and I regret that decision a lot. I think the thing people dont mention is how Tua feels in this situation and how much it would hurt him to step away when he does not want to.
Damar Hamlin’s heart literally stopped from a routine tackle but y’all praised his return and applauded it and he plays a position that has to tackle ! Literally nobody criticized his decision let alone made it a topic of discussion
one of the realest takling segments i seen good stuff man I wish there was a magic injection that fixed all injuries to these guys so we could just hit and play ball
The hit in the Bills game was in initiated by Tua, Hamlin was just absorbing the hit. Tua's head twisted oddly, and he went down, nothing vicious, that's the problem. It was just a normal tackle.
listen I’ll played back in high school and yes availability is the best ability. But injuries to the head are something extremely dangerous at that high a level, I respect his decision I do believe in the spirit of football that we are warriors but where the game has evolved in the last 15-20 years with a 3rd concussion might be time would be my thought process.
Don’t see anyone having this conversation about Chris Olave?? These guys are media now, every single one of them is playing after 3 concussions in 3 years.
I wanted to hear what big dog was about to say at 9:13. I understand why Tua doesn't want to retire, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't make the same choice as him. You have to ride this thing out!
All tua gotta do is learn how to slide and make smart decisions and he'll be fine , it's on him if he gets hurt he's a grown man and makes his own decisions
What we’re saying is the degree of his concussion which is different in the history of the game. For the first time the defensive opponents will be afraid of hitting him due to the level & likelihood of continued concussions, thus compromising the game and not allowing defenders to play free and at full speed with this one player.
Chris Canty (unsportsmanlike)viewpoint is probably the best take. Tua had plenty of time to reflect and make HIS decision. No one is guaranteed tomorrow.
What’s so sad is I think most players on defense are compassionate enough to not want to be responsible for his 4th concussion so I think they’ll be unusually easy on him. It’s like everyone knows the danger he is in except him. I could be wrong
Fighters have worse concussions but nobody telling them they gonna die after getting knocked out waaaaaaaaaaaay harder. People always have something to say negative about Tua

Exactly! He should consider the opposing player’s psyche if they might be the one that brings that dreadful ending to him.
I get it. Tua is a warrior. i respect that. But my advice would be to forget this season. Wait till next season to come back and ball out.
These are pro athletes. They not willingly trashing the szn after being cleared by multiple Doctors 😂
I don't care about Tua not retiring. I care about how his family going to deal with him.

Right. Who does he think is going to be taking all of the consequences of his decision?
@jeanfourcade seriously? He gets his money from insurance anyways she can't tell him not to play its all him
“He plays so recklessly”
Yeah, you don’t watch him play.
He needs to at least wear a protective helmet cover
Drip over safety! And those caps are like face masks lol they do nothing trust me
YES HE HAS TO
The cover won’t do anything if his head bounces off the ground and I heard that the cover makes your helmet heavier and the heavier the helmet the harder his head will hit the ground.

Man we see fighters get knocked out so many times and fight the next fight and we don’t even know about possible concussions while training. So it’s his life, if he wanna play then that’s on him.
Fighters are fighting with 6 months in-between, football is week to week with limited recovery time
@@ahastar1141 They have an off-season and they only play a max of 21 games depending on if they make the playoffs. Also you clearly don’t follow combat sports if you think your average fighter is taking 6 months in between fights. They also aren’t fighting with any protection.
It'll be hard to be that young and was born to play QB, always been great in HS college its hard to walk away at 26-27 years old .
Tua will triumph thru this .
I feel bad for the player that has to put the next hit on Tua. I’m kinda shocked the nfl hasn’t stepped in and sidelined him this year. This could be a terrible look for them if he goes back out there and gets another concussion. But of course he’s wants to play $$$. All those guys would wanna play and most of us would to.
He doesn’t have to play to get the $$😂
The NFL can't and won't do anything. They would have to intervene over 200 concussions/year, and make life-changing decisions? Not their business. It's each player's responsibility. After all, they all chose violence for money.
Tua has only had 1 bad concussion and because Miami didn’t handle it better he ended up with another 1 and now every knock is blown way out of proportion for tua! It’s not as bad as what the media states
Sorry, but amateur uneducated doctors like you make me sick.
what are you talking about goofy lol, are you his specialist? sit down.
This is such a good show dude
Yall getting REAL on this show❤…keep grinding!!! Damn, Chase broke it down.
I play the odds everyday commuting an hour to work and going for long bike rides. Life can be dangerous and a lot of people take some risks each day for a lot less than one million dollars per week.
You do, but you're not driving with a TBI
Tua is a HERO! Hamlin DIED on the field everybody celebrated his return. Not one player in the NFL has gotten there without a concussion. Tell a soldier not to deploy because he may die they’ll look at you crazy because that’s understood when they sign up. LET TUA DO TUA.
I think the issue is hamlins situation was a one off, and its not like he rushed back to the field either. He played a little last year but hes been eased back into it and taken precautions. Tua and the dolphins have let Tua play through clear concussions not thinking about his longevity. I think the issue people have with Tua is hes not improving his safety. Hes not falling right, this last concussion it was super easy for him to slide down but instead he decides to lead with his head? Dude has kids and a family, he just got a guaranteed bag. For those kids having a dad who is full functioning and present in their lives is going to mean more than some extra money. Ultimately, he has to absolutely get serious about protecting himself on the field. His inability to do that, knowing the risks is what frustrates people
Love Acho’s take.
Tua needs to slide or take a knee before he gets hit.
Like Tom Brady these QBs needs to drop down and not take big hits in the pocket 🤷🏾
@TexanEagleFan Every time Tua took a bad hit he was running. QBs don't suffer alot of head injuries in the pocket especially with the new rules.
@@beazy3364wrong. 2 of his severe concussions happened in the pocket when he got hit and fell backwards on the back of his head. Cmon now
Exactly 💯
@@beazy33641 of them was getting sacked in I believe a Bengals game. I think he got the looking like a ragdoll when getting tackled thing fixed, but dude needs to realize his head isn’t supposed to be used as a weapon because him going head first into Hamlin was the dumbest thing he could have done.
If he wants to play, he wants to play.
There is life after football. 🙏🏼 Cmon bro
That was a really good take on it. He shouldn’t play but as a man that’s up to him to decide. Also “we don’t know his why”
Lots of men put their lives on the line everyday at work, construction workers, miners, fishermen ect what’s the difference when your job is a sport?
he is set financially
Obviously i never played at the level that tua did. But i cant blame him for his decision. I loved playing football and when my health was compromised and I was told not to play i listened and I regret that decision a lot. I think the thing people dont mention is how Tua feels in this situation and how much it would hurt him to step away when he does not want to.
Damar Hamlin’s heart literally stopped from a routine tackle but y’all praised his return and applauded it and he plays a position that has to tackle ! Literally nobody criticized his decision let alone made it a topic of discussion
I like this set more than the desk
Good point shady...
Nobody retired on that panel for health safety issues
I believe that Tua should retire he's too busy trying to chase the money and he's not even that good of a quarterback if we going to be honest
There’s something about Acho that pisses me off a little bit
He's a practice squad nobody who's sitting next to solid pro athletes who had great careers
Great input thank you for sharing
At what point does it end. Maybe when he stiffens again on the field. The doctors that keep clearing him needs to be scrutinized
I can almost GUARANTEE his contact has made his decision
Got damn Acho, can just answer a question. Eagles all time rusher, 39 years of NFL experience. Bro just answer the question.
one of the realest takling segments i seen good stuff man I wish there was a magic injection that fixed all injuries to these guys so we could just hit and play ball
Yeah we all say it's his decision it's his life but who has to deal with the aftermath if he gets paralyzed or dies, not us but his family.
The hit in the Bills game was in initiated by Tua, Hamlin was just absorbing the hit. Tua's head twisted oddly, and he went down, nothing vicious, that's the problem. It was just a normal tackle.
How are all y’all going to tell this man to not play EVERYBODY GETS CONCUSSIONS !
Damn I felt this segment
listen I’ll played back in high school and yes availability is the best ability. But injuries to the head are something extremely dangerous at that high a level, I respect his decision I do believe in the spirit of football that we are warriors but where the game has evolved in the last 15-20 years with a 3rd concussion might be time would be my thought process.
Chase and James had the best take.
I feel tua if I had worked my entire life and became a top nfl QB I wouldn’t let some concussions stop me either
Don’t see anyone having this conversation about Chris Olave?? These guys are media now, every single one of them is playing after 3 concussions in 3 years.
Doesn’t want to retire? His life, not mine.
Do I agree? Nope.
Will I still support? Absolutely.
Nope - it’s NOT just his decision - the Owner and/or Coach can say “we’re not playing him right now and we’re not trading him”
I wanted to hear what big dog was about to say at 9:13. I understand why Tua doesn't want to retire, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't make the same choice as him. You have to ride this thing out!
I understand him playing, I don’t understand why he just won’t at least wear the guardian cap? Whats the thought process in that
“I’m not talking to Tua” .. While actually talking to Tua
Gotta love Acho 😂
He's talking to the camera
All tua gotta do is learn how to slide and make smart decisions and he'll be fine , it's on him if he gets hurt he's a grown man and makes his own decisions
What we’re saying is the degree of his concussion which is different in the history of the game. For the first time the defensive opponents will be afraid of hitting him due to the level & likelihood of continued concussions, thus compromising the game and not allowing defenders to play free and at full speed with this one player.
These brothers always talking about their days… no wonder ESPN didn’t want you.
Imagine telling a man how to live. Its not your life and he is not making damage to others
Chris Canty (unsportsmanlike)viewpoint is probably the best take. Tua had plenty of time to reflect and make HIS decision. No one is guaranteed tomorrow.
What’s so sad is I think most players on defense are compassionate enough to not want to be responsible for his 4th concussion so I think they’ll be unusually easy on him. It’s like everyone knows the danger he is in except him. I could be wrong
Dude. Acho is the man, you know? Intelligent. He understands pedagogue well.
Fighters have worse concussions but nobody telling them they gonna die after getting knocked out waaaaaaaaaaaay harder. People always have something to say negative about Tua
