Of course we're worried. Our entire season relies on Tua, he's currently wearing a brace on his knee, and Locksley insists on running an RPO offense where the QB is a threat to run on every play. How incredibly moronic.

Against Arkansas, Locksley dialed up a designed QB run for Tua who already had his knee wrapped up. The run went for like 2 yards, and Tua came up limping. What an absolute moron.

I'd expect Tua to play vs Missouri with a knee brace, running the same offense with plenty of QB fake runs, and a few QB runs. Let's all hope this doesn't get worse. Although, I don't see it getting better if we keep running him

He's fine now. If we keep doing those asinine QB runs, he might not be. If you think you wanna keep running the QB, fine, just make sure #2 is already in the game. If not, think again.

I don't want Tua running anywhere. Someone needs to carry his arse to class

It’s the offense. Run the offense. I don’t want to see Tua running 10 times a game, but keep them honest. Especially with both him and Hurts being used in a package. That can be a lethal weapon come November.

Why are we acting like he’s super injured? I’m concerned because you guys are concerned. The guy said he wasn’t limited at all, so why are we freaking out? I’m seriously wondering what I’m missing here.

Someone needs to tell him not to jump up and chest bump everyone he sees.

The staff and coaches recognize the issue with his knee and are being proactive. I would worry if it was his foot.

What would the headlines read if Belichick started running Tom Brady off-tackle four or five times a game ?


People'd probably think he's gone senile considering Brady runs like a 6.00 forty.

If we hadn’t just given up 31 to Arkansas, I don’t think we’d all be so hypersensitive over Tua’s leg.


No, not all of us. Not with a backup who’s 27-2.

The problem with that stat is that backup had the luxury of having the top defense in the country for those 29 games.

I know he's wearing a knee brace and if he was healthy, he wouldn't be wearing one. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out

It's football and sports in general. Everyone gets dinged up. You can get injuries working out or running drills.

I mean, this is football, not 7 on 7. He's gonna get hit. He's gonna have to run some.

Only reason I asked because everyone said the scope rumor was garbage, which is obviously true.

However, with the reports of him limping in practice makes you wonder if he is just banged up or what. Maybe he needs one in the off-season?

I agree. And he takes off and scrambles on his own regularly. So why expose him to additional punishment for a few yards with designed runs? The risk doesn't not fit the reward.

I'm not a huge fan of running him on those QB powers. I'll agree with that.

I know people are going to get dinged up in football, but I don't have to be happy about it.
