It can't just be Kamara though, Kendre needs to show he can stay healthy or someone else needs to step up (hopefully Devin Neal if not Kendre).

My concerns are at guard and mainly with Ruiz.

I'd like to be proven wrong, but I really, categorically do not trust Cesar Ruiz one bit. Almost once a game he seems like he's never seen a stunt pass rush in his life. Heck, it happened on a Twitter video a few days ago where he ends up blocking no one whilst players run straight past him.

As I say, happy to be proven wrong, but to me, it seems like he's learnt nothing since whiffing on the play that escalated Brees's retirement.

I heard on the first day of full contact pads that Ruiz destroyed Bresee. Owned him. It was either Triplett or Underhill on one of their camp videos. The problem with watching missed blocks on tape is that you don't know the individual responsibility. Someone on the line screwing up their assignment can make someone else look bad when all they are doing is being where they were supposed to be. That's why it is so important that they all stay healthy and fulfill their individual roles and act as a unit.
