I'm no doctor, but here is my diagnosis

Fencing Response: What Is It & Why Does It Happen?

The fencing response is associated with traumatic brain injuries (TBI), such as concussions. The fencing response, which is when a person’s forearms extend after injury, is studied as a diagnostic tool for doctors to use in determining the severity of TBI. This article will give you all the...

EDIT: Florio's article - among several others - calls it the same thing.

Penaties are keeping the dolphins in this game

Hands are freakin' me out. Take your time coming back (within reason), Mac.

 

[Delicate Genius]

yeah...it's just a normal spastic reaction...good thing Tua wasn't concussed last week, eh?

He had a back concussion last week. Totally different.

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

Tua had involuntary decorticate posture which is a sign of brain injury and head trauma

 

[Kontradiction]

I've seen that hands spasm thing before after a QB gets hit, it's just a temporary reflex action.

Not sure why but it reminded me of a lesser version of one of Tank Abbott’s knockouts where he mocked the guy afterward because his arms were stuck in the air. It’s at 12 seconds in this video.

I saw the exact same thing happen to Tommy Kramer who was with the Vikings in the '70s. He got slammed and both his hands curled under really weird, it looked like he was having a seizure. It's a neurological reflex.

Genius!!! Pure Genius!!~ to put it delicately

This is why Mac should take his time and not rush his injury

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

There needs to be repercussions for how they handled Tua. Two concussions in 5 days could be life altering down the road.

like I said...real good thing Tua didn't have a concussion last week...(I don't know how the phu&k the league is skirting the obvious but you KNOW it comes from the azzole Goon)

 

[Dingleberry]

I am not convinced that Teddy isn't better than Tua. Never was all that impressed with Tua, even this year. I may just be prejudiced against lefty QB's. It just looks unnatural.

 

[Rob0729]

I take it you didn’t watch the Bills/Dolphins game, and you’re just looking at Allen’s stat line?

I didn’t watch the game because they were opposite the Pats. I know he started out playing well and killed a lot of drives with incompletions after that.

Yeah, Roger is notorious for blowing smoke at these sorts of things.

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

How do the dolphins have a bacup qb who is better than pats starting qb?

 

[venecol]

Maybe Hoyer can pull a Bridgewater and lead Pats to scoring TDs instead of FGs.

Gotcha. I had it on a second TV and was watching it while the Pats were either in between plays or on a commercial. In spite of the stat line, he had about 3-4 dropped INTs. He didn’t play all that well. Miami did a good job of limiting Diggs. Outside of him, there’s nobody who is really scary on their offense and there is no need to fear the run whatsoever since Allen is basically it until they decide that Cook is their most talented option.

 

[Rob0729]

There really needs to be an investigation into how they handled Tua. Even if he had a back injury, it could have compounded the injury tonight. But if they let him play with a concussion, it is criminal (figuratively) what they did to the guy.

As for the Dolphins going forward, they may have a better QB in Bridgewater. Bridgewater is an underrated QB and certainly capable of playing above his talent level with the weapons the Dolphins have.

What if they followed nfl protocol?
