Alualu has looked nothing like his pre-injury self. This was due and needed. He'll still get a bunch of snaps to keep guys rested.

Injured. 35 yrs old. We knew he wouldn't be able to play a whole season without injury.

I loved it when he changed his mind and signed with us again. He played at a Pro bowl level before injury last year. Hopefully he can play better with less snaps.

I’m ok with this move. Tyson is 35 and coming off season ending ankle surgery and Adams is what, 27 and not nearly had the injury issues. Plus I read that the yards per carry with Tyson is over 5 yards per as opposed to Adams 2.6 per carry. Tomlin said in his presser today when asked about the change and he said Adams is playing better than Tyson. There you have it!

Many here said he was the second coming once he returned all would be well on the DL.

I figured he'd last maybe 1/2 season, so he got close. Like said by previous poster, he will sub in and out to spell.

I suppose it's a good thing Tomlin is trying to fix something. If he'd only do something about our offense.

Don't get me wrong, I was glad for his return, but I didn't share the false hope that some here did.

He is 35 (?) off major injury, so unless he is drinking the un-diluted TB12 drink............

Maybe later he can shake some of that rust off. I guess we'll see.

Seriously though....did he out play Adams in preseason? Maybe Alualu should have had a back-up role from the get go.

I would lean to this and say you are right. I realize neither of us are there day to day but I'd think this is the case.
