re: Tua busted his hip bc he was favoring his ankle

For everyone else, this post from page one:

pretty sure that he sustained this injury because his femur was perpendicular to the ground when his knee hit and he was flexed forward at about a 90 degree angle while he had two defensive linemen on his back directly over his leg (thus, 100% of their weight as well as about 45% of his was all on that one joint crashing down with force.

Explains it very well

This was a freak injury that is very uncommonly seen on a football field and was due to the perfect set of circumstances that produced an incredible amount of force on the joint in question. It subsequently dislocated posteriorly with such force that it fractured the posterior aspect of the pelvic joint adjacent to the head of the femur.

His ankle injury has absolutely nothing to do with this
