re: Is Tua going to get the ‘fragile’ label?

He’s had a bad knee almost all year. So yeah, when he gets hit my an SEC defensive lineman going full speed, it’s going to hurt. Tonight, he got one ankle stepped on by his own O-Lineman, and another rolled when he took a sack.

I can understand saying he needs to take care of himself better, get rid of the ball quicker, etc... but I don’t think he’s fragile and he’s sure as shite not soft. If anything he’s unlucky. This is a terrible take.

Guy literally had his ankle stepped on by a 300lb man.

Seriously that happens a ton of times a game, especially to TEs and OT because they have to deal with the outside rush and usually a stunt comes to their inside.

Our fanbase keeps doing this.

Making excuses.

I just pray we get Tua to grow and face his demons instead of babying him and making excuses. If he doesn't we will suffer for it, because he does do well if he isn't unperturbed and bothered.

A thread was started calling Tua fragile and soft, and some people disagree. Just because I think you could not possibly be more wrong doesn’t mean I’m babying him.

At least UGA wasn't trying to hurt him or playing dirty. I think every other team we played this year tried to take him out with cheap shots. LSU got a free shot in on the false start, on the opening drive. Usually refs run in and stop the players, they just stood back and let him get fricking rocked. I'm still angry ablut that.

I didn't call him soft, just for the record.
