He would have never sustained this injury with an uninjured ankle. Watch each time he’s tackled. He takes weight off the foot and flexes his hip.
This lead to the injury today...and that is all in Saban’s lap.

Thank you, Doctor. Let me know when your next paper on advanced biomedical engineering comes out.

There is no possible way to know this. Plenty of players play with bum ankles, and I'm not reading about displaced hips every week.

It's well known by medical people that injuries that don't heal properly leads to other injuries because you overcompensate in other areas.

I guess there is no way to know for sure that Tua's ankle injury led to this injury, but it is a completely logical thought and very possible.

And Tua's ankle was bad enough that he got surgery for it. This wasn't a little ankle thingy.

Then why don't we see it more? Plenty of people play after injuring their ankle, yet this isn't exactly a common injury.

The Tua ordeal reminds me of Durant's injury in the Finals.

Rushed back too early, seemed okay, and boom, another body part goes because you're overcompensating.

How many tightrope procedures are played on twice in 21 days?

This wasn't a little ankle injury that most people play though. He had surgery on it and came back 3 weeks later, clearly before he was healed and ready to come back.

It looked like he could barely walk last week after the LSU game.

In today's world, he shoulda hung it up for the season after the LSU loss. He stands to lose millions.

Yep. This is a common thing in athletics. Unhealed injuries leads to other injuries.

No idea, but people play with taped up shitty ankles all the time. Is this particular ankle injury so peculiar that it leads to freak hip injuries? I'm not saying overcompensation has nothing to do with it, I am saying that blaming that as some sort of smoking gun is idiotic. It was a freak injury

You mean the guy that once stepped over one of his convulsing players to get to his office might not have his players’ best interests at heart???

You can't definitively say he goes without injury today if he was fully healthy.

However, maybe he gets away from two DTs and doesn't take the hit in the first place?

For a supposed ER Doctor, you should know that the correct term would be 'led',not 'lead'. Everything after that comes in to question, considering you are a doctor and all

Durant got hurt bc kerr was playing him over 40 mpg v Houston. Bc he knew that was the only way they would win.

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.
