Re: X,Y, & Z Receivers
I’d say his best role as a receiver is in the slot. You want him to match up with a LB or safety because his route running isn’t as crisp as a receivers would be, his hands aren’t as sure, and he’s honestly not blazing fast. He’s not threat with a cornerback on him.
That’s one thing I loved about Reggie Bush. He was a mismatch no matter where you lined him up at because he was faster than most cornerbacks. Teams always had to keep an eye on him because he was a big play waiting to happen. The best decoy we’ve ever had. He was ahead of his time. Also, I don’t always like the routes Payton calls for Kamara out of the backfield. He’s used a check down to often. Send him on the Texas route. Send him on a a streak from back there. Get more creative. But nah...Kamara definitely isn’t a WR. |
