We have to start dealing with injuries better.

Sending Tua out there last night was very dangerous for his knee. I don’t understand playing around with something like that now that we know what the actual injury is. I believe in Saban but this is one thing I just can’t agree with. He can be a little too old school sometimes.

EDIT: I don’t want to pretend I know all the info they had before the game that might have affected their decision making. I’m just saying it looks bad from an outside perspective.

More than likely, they gave Tua the option of getting scoped or trying to play with it.

One poster a few days ago said he wished Tua would learn to slide. Maybe it was the awkward slide that aggravated it.

You don't know the details of the extent of his injury. The doctors advise the players and their parents of the situations and risks associated with playing. Saban doesn't have the authority or any incentive to play someone who shouldn't play.

I'm okay wirh sending Tua out in a game we need to win.

What I'm absolutely not okay with is the fact they had him practicing hard on it all fricking week. And for Saban to get up there and say, "Oh it's nothing. Just a knee"
He said the same shite after the game.
