Saban deserves all the flack he’s about to receive for his handling of Tua

CNS has been incredibly reckless with Tua and it finally burned him.

Usually quarterbacks finish the half in that situation but you can’t play Tua when he’s that injured

The media will spin him a pass somehow.

I agree.

Why? The ATC deserves more than Saban. He told him he was good to play. That’s his job not Saban to decide if players are healthy or recovered enough to play.

It was a judgment call but no, Saban did nothing wrong. Any player can get injured on any play. That’s football. Letting your QB finish the half there, even if he wasn’t 100%, is pretty standard.

Why? Because he didn't reinjure the ankle and got a totally different and unrelated injury?
Posted on 11/16/19 at 1:28 pm to okietiger
He really shouldn’t have been on the field vs LSU either. Mishandled

If it's truly a hip and unrelated to the ankle everyone on here trashing Saban is out of their mind.
Is Saban supposed to be able to predict the future or something?

Do y’all just not understand how sports work?
You go if you can go.
They don’t let you rest in a bed until an hour before the game and then guess if you’re good to go or not.
Every step he has taken has been monitored and assessed this week. He was good, and he played.
I understand that Alabama has hurt y’all’s feelings for a decade now but Saban isn’t the devil for playing Tua.

His ankle affected his mobility which led to the sack. No reason he should’ve been playing in this game at all, let alone up 35-7

Matt Mauck broke his foot in a game under Saban that lsu was up like 28-3 in the fourth in 2002.

Should’ve gone into the game as the backup. But once he started, it’s pretty standard to have him play the half and the two minute practice makes even more sense..

Tua should of left after LSU loss.
Get healthy, work out with trainer the agent pays for and be ready for combine and draft.
He's already slotted, getting healthy and working out will do nothing to hurt his stock. Staying at bama and continuing to play hurt will.

After watching the backup play you can see why Saban made Tua play today.
Posted on 11/16/19 at 2:42 pm to okietiger
Meh, if you want this to be a black and white situation, Tua's injury was a 3 month recovery time, so he basically should've been shut down for the season before the LSU game.
In reality, the culture in high-level college sports is such that you play through pain. It's not just Nick Saban. Every SEC team does the same thing, LSU does it, Auburn, everyone. I think it's silly to call out Nick Saban for this.
The one saying he should've been held out today but it was ok to play vs LSU
, that's ridiculous to me. Every game he's going to get hit, delay his healing time at best and possibly suffer a worse injury. To me, you either play him or you shut him down completely. Sitting a game here and there isn't going to help much with an injury like his.
Furthermore, how can a coach go to his players and say that one game is more important than the other? The rest of you players have to treat it like it's important, but this guy doesn't? It's an incongruent message. He's either good enough to play or he's not. If he's not, you don't play him, period.

Saban said he needed that 2 minute practice..
Tua.. needs 2 minute "practice."

So you're saying Saban shouldn't have played him against LSU because after all that was one less week of recovery than this week? Did you make a post last week stating Tua shouldn't have been playing? Remember, today's injury had nothing to do with a recovering ankle injury.

The being hurt already thing is the big factor, if he had two legs working 100% could he have gotten away from the tackler ?
It's ifs and butts.
I'm sure Tua wanted to play like he did last week

Like I said in another thread, the assclowns sniping at Saban for leaving Tua in a division game to run the 2-minute offense are the same ones slamming Nick for letting the foot off the gas if he pulls Tua.
