I remember seeing somewhere that Palomalu (sp?) and the team have agreed to part ways, and it was an amicable breakup.

I don't know the true reason but considering how the RBs are doing now, it could be performance-based.
Yeah - I just saw something on X today about the official "parting of ways" so I assumed it was today and that report didn't give any details one way or another. But maybe it was older news.

This team def. adjusts better than they have in a long time, imo.
I still say someone that rhymes with Rubiak got slapped a few games ago and got told to smarten up.

Darnold isn't throwing the garbage picks when freaking out - holding on to the ball more in trouble. We're more balanced on playcalling. Running Game has picked up....... MM did 'something' IMO

Just sayin

Look at the last 3 games, it absolutely has changed.

Our run game has been on a different level pretty much since the bye week (though the Commanders game is hard to assess as we had that game won in the 2nd quarter) - we went from averaging something like 80-90 yards per game in the first 8 to 140+ per game in last 9.

hawkblogger has a great take on this Polamalu story. Hawkblogger, says, just his take and not a report, Polamalu, was removed because MacDonald was not seeing the run game click. And now look, it’s firing on all K9 cylinders!

Let’s goooooo, RUN GAME!!!!!!
