Re: About the Joker RB thing
We have been missing a good/reliable satellite running back for the last few years. We have tried different ways to address the position, but they have failed. I don't have stats readily available but we were fairly inconsistent on 3rd down conversions last year. With Kamara now in the fold, things should be different on offense. Being able to roll clock (win the time of possession battle), move the chains on 3rd down attempts & capitalize in the red zone (TD's NOT fg's) makes you a deadly offensive team.

NFL Stats: by Team Category The Saints were also pretty good at redzone TD efficiency. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/sta...ne-scoring-pct But I do agree with you that Kamara should give the team more options than they had last year. |

Re: About the Joker RB thing
Agree with what you guys are posting. I am hoping Kamara pans out to be kind of like Shane Vereen, maybe not a lot of 'wow' factor but very versatile and consistent.
But there is just this 10% of me that knows the damage Jamaal Charles used to do. In his prime, I don't know there has ever been a more dangerous weapon on swing passes and screen passes mixed with the running game - right up there with Marshall Faulk and Curtis Martin. And most of the years in KC apart from Dwayne Bowe, Charles had to do it all by himself. That kind of a weapon, along with Brees and Payton on top of things, the sky would be the limit! |

Re: About the Joker RB thing
Don't forget about doubling him up with Ingram who isn't too shabby in the passing game himself.

Really like the possibilities of Marcus Williams, but we've got several safeties already, one of which we spent two picks to get as well... And Kamara at his current weight/build is not touching the ball for 20x's a game for 16 games... And J Charles was the offense in KC, every defense keyed on him all game; here in New Orleans, he'd been a third-down back |
