Playcalling improvements

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Kamara is our starting RB. If we had a strong OL he could look like Kareem Hunt. Very good vision and good at everything else. I bet he gets 65% of the work load next game....

"Very good vision" is an understatement. Kamara seems to see seams (say that 10 times fast) before they even open. What I notice is that not only does he see seams but he has the acceleration to take advantage of them.

The shuffle pass touchdown was a beaut.

Kamara is the second coming of Pierre Thomas but with better hands and more speed.

I'm not ready to crown him just yet. PT was a screen monster - but Kamara sure does look the part early on.

Agreed, Kamara just seems to find space where there isn't any. Then he accelerates very quickly.

Re: Playcalling improvements

The screen to Michael Thomas was very encouraging. Had we thrown it to Ginn or Tommylee it would have been more predictable what we were doing. But changing it up and giving Thomas that play totally caught the D off guard and helped get us the first down. This is the kind of variation we need in our offense.

That's what makes Kamara dangerous. When he's in the game all options are open.
