Tua was rolling out at full speed and was trying to play through the impact. The defender's job is to stop him. No one is thinking about how hard they should or shouldn't hit. It was actually a well-formed tackle the way he wrapped Tua up at the waist. The momentum went into a gator roll and flipped him like a rag doll. I doubt it was remotely malicious. It is too fast to think.
Unfortunately it was 6'1"
217lbs vs 6'3" 345.
Here is some perspective on the mismatch: If you are in the neighborhood of 175 lbs like me, that defender is without exaggeration, twice your size. And he has 150lbs on Tua.
