Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram are rated as the number one running back tandem in the NFL which is awesome! However, the rest of the top backs tandems are on teams that are on our schedule this year. As I watched a segment about the top tandems I started noticing that we will be on the field with some serious running talent and good running teams ate our lunch last year running up the middle. Stopping the run was probably our biggest deficiency on defense.

We brought in Davis to play MLB which should help with the run game but we also have a much improved D-line so maybe running up the gut won't be as easy this year. None the less this insight makes me nervous.
