HEAD COACH MIKE MCDANIEL MEETS WITH THE MEDIA | MIAMI DOLPHINS

What part of Michigan are you in I’m over by the St Joseph Kalamazoo area

Just because he’s outta hospital doesn’t means he’s OK. Worst is yet to come. Head injuries are serious

@Brock Carrow I know but you still need to protect your player…no?

@Brock Carrow Not even moral one…😔I know it’s a business but even wasn’t a very good business wise decision….🙄

@Dondid I use the wrong word?

@Don no I didn’t. Read a book buddy

@Josh Brown maybe Tua should add some weight if he ever plays again so he won’t get lifted off his feet so easily

@Obama Care That was the optics for Sunday…Like any situation, it only really matters to the principal involved “Tua”, he got the information firsthand (and he knows how he feels and I would guess he spoke to family) and made a decision to play. The bottom line he makes the decision for Tua and everyone else does not matter (you, me, and everyone else).

@Obama Care so, I shake my head after doing push-ups because I put so much stress on my body. Did I have a concussion? Banging you head off of something alone is not what causes a concussion. Your brain had its own Membrane and blood buffer between the skull and the brain, what’s needed to cause a concussion Is a extremely violent and sudden change in velocity. Simply banging your head would hurt and your ears will ring a bit but it’s not a guaranteed concussion.

@Chibi TheEdgehog people are really not understanding that part. They think any time you hit your head and get a little woozy. Boom concussion 🤯💥 it’s just simply not the case. Boxing, UFC, football many sports people get their bell rung and continue on with what they were doing seconds, minutes before. Not every head hit is a concussion or these athletes would be taken out of every game and match constantly.

The only reason we are here today discussing this and reporters asking foolish questions like “will tua sit out the rest of the year??” Is because they think they know more then the medical staff and independent neurologist who let tua play. If this was any other player who got a concussion on a short week reporters would be asking “since he’s got a 10 day break before the next game, do you think he will be ready by then???” But instead we are here acting like a single incident has cause on the other and it’s some life altering injury.

@Chibi TheEdgehog so you did push-ups hit your head and collapsed to the ground?

@Chibi TheEdgehog you should look up concussion protocol before you comment

A sharp back pain can absolutely cause someone to stumble. I think the concerning part was he seemed to shake his head and put his hands up to his head which would suggest he had his bell rung versus major back pain.

He slammed his head and signaled to head pain not his back man. No doctor would have cleared this man this is corruption at the highest level of football the most profitable sports league in the world OPEN YOUR EYES

@Orange President calm down son. Calm down. Don’t be a tool.

@Jonathan Moore disgraceful dude, protecting brains is more important than winning game 4 of the regular season. I can be calm and call bullshit at the same time

@Jonathan Moore im a big fan of the league man, irregardless this is negligence u can’t srsly believe he wasn’t concuss from that first hit

@Don nobody is claiming to know more than Mcdaniels. Doesn’t stop us from having opinions and it definitely doesn’t stop even an offensive guru like mcdaniels from making the wrong call.

Brady was drafted in the sixth and when he got a chance he did great,Skylar was drafted in the seventh,so maybe if you give him a chance he could replace Tua.He played amazing in the preseason as well.

@Keith Giles exactly but put him with first strings and he will shine

No way he’s ready but he’ll be getting more practice snaps as #2 now. If Tua can’t go for awhile or gets injured again (he 100% will) then Bridgewater will have to really stink up the place and put the season in jeopardy for Skylar to get a shot. Ted could go down too and then no other choice.

I will say over and over again that it was a dirty hit, but the Bengals fans were nothing but classy. I think most of us Phins fans appreciate that…

@David Weiner it wasn’t a dirty hit bro. I’m a fins fan and it was no where close to dirty. Sorry but tua should have thrown that ball away. He’s done this a lot last year where he takes unneeded sacks like that one by trying to get away 15 yards in the backfield

@MikeWhoo It was questionable cause of how he slam/suplex him. I would agree he should’ve throw it away earlier but I know they were aggressive downfield and that seemed like the game-plan. I believe Mike but I think Tua got dinged and he wanted to play so he passed all the test vs the bills. I have had 4 concussions in my career in highschool and college and only once have I ever told the staff and that’s cause I stayed down for a second and was dazed after. Played risk alot for this game.

@MikeWhoo i agree tua should have thrown it away, but i also thing that it was a little unnecessary to slam tua down the way the dt did. obviously it wasn’t intentional, but maybe a little excessive

It’s even worse listening to NHL media conference’s.

I like him less as a coach now unfortunately after his comments saying if there’s any inclination of a concussion they aren’t playing yet tua grabbed his head fell to the ground and still played 4 days later

bro what are you saying? he doesn’t know the impact of concussions or the seriousness

@Cryptum404 do you know the definition of inclination? Does tua grab his head and collapse on every play?

@Julio 🤣🤣🤣

@Timothy Eason he doesn’t care. Tua had his brains scrambled EVERYONE watching knew he was concussed vs Buffalo and then was throwing up gang signs four days later because coach let him out there lol. Enjoy losing streak

@King Shango you are going to enjoy the losing streak if you keep fooling around with black magic. You just wait and see homer.

@Obama Care Obamito El Rey de los frenos. (King of the car breaks)

Ah you think teddy is impressive. Interesting.

@Please enter a name impressively mediocre !!!

I was same HS class as him and watched him all thru HS and bama as a fan. Almost feels more like my friend got paralyzed

Baloney!

You’ll be feeling differently once Tua doesn’t come back and the Ls start piling up

@King Shango you trolling on everyone’s comments lol who hurt you bro ?

FTJ

Once dolphins are 3-4 you’ll be changing your tune

@King Shango Organization is more United than it ever has been because he’s at the Helm, it ain’t about winning or losing but I wouldn’t expect you to understand.

@SURGE organization was caught tampering with Brady and coach Payton and tanking lost draft picks and now let their QB go back in a game after having his brains scrambled vs Buffalo where EVERYONE seen him wobbling around like a boxer obviously concussed and blatantly lie about it being back and foot injury.. They push their qb back out there only 4 days later and he ends up on the turf again throwing up gang signs lol. What a great organization

@SURGE what a brilliant coach. He literally ran his QB to the ground and sacrificed him for a 4-0 start.

Hogwash!
