Kamara had a 17.4(!) ypc average in this game and carried for 89 yards and caught 6 catches for over 100 yards. Ginn was 7 of 11 for 74 yards and no TDs despite a 10.1 ypr average. And I just looked at the play by play it was Kamara that didn't get the first. Yet he was used up the middle against a defense like that. That is not Kamara's strength. Still, I have seen Ingram's totals in this game. Ingram had one 9 yard carry and everything else 5 or less. After the first two drives, he was limited to 2 yards all game. Those type of runs will hurt the 3rd down offense. So yes that is SP there using Kamara up the middle that cost us from running down the clock. Also, Rhodes is locked in on Thomas I see also on this drive, Brees is looking at him three straight times after Ginn Jr caught a 11 yard pass. The fourth down was converted of all people by Snead, which signifies the luck of our playcalling. But we came back in that game purely with the use of Thomas and Kamara, and that eventually got Ginn Jr open looks. That last drive the vikings tightened down but we needed one yard, just one yard. Running up the middle was our best option? |

Okay, I thought it was Ingram that attempted that 3rd and 1 against the vikings. I didn't see it because I was scared the saints would not score. But many people was saying we ran it up the middle to try to get the first and I assumed it was Ingram.

One thing I will also say though is that this started against the jets last year after Coleman fumbled back to back, where you just have to throw it to Thomas despite the defense. Thomas showed he can make plays in tough games. Thomas was clutch,and when he had to bailed the heck out of the the rest of the offense.
