Re: Snap Counts: See Alvin Kamara's workload at RB for Saints vs. Bucs
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (41) is tackled during the first half against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday, Sept. 9, 2018, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. The Saints lost 40-48. Advocate staff photo by SCOTT THRELKELD BY JOEL A. ERICKSON | jerickson@theadvocate.com Sep 10, 2018 - 8:52 am The New Orleans Saints planned to find a running back or two to make sure Alvin Kamara wouldn't have to handle all of the snaps himself with Mark Ingram out of action for the first four games. That plan went out the window on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kamara took 52 snaps at the running back position in the season opener, the highest number of his career and far out-pacing newcomer Mike Gillislee (7) and Jonathan Williams (3), pulled up from the practice squad on Thursday. Kamara's previous high was 46 snaps against the Washington Redskins last season; he averaged 32.5 per game in the 14 games after the Saints traded away Adrian Peterson last season. A couple of reasons might exist for Kamara's workload. For starters, Gillislee coughed up a costly fumble in the second quarter, the kind of mistake that puts a player on the bench. New Orleans was also forced to play from behind for most of the second half; with Ingram out of action, Kamara is clearly the best receiver at the position on the roster, and he'd take the two-minute drill snaps if Ingram was available anyway. New Orleans might also have planned to give Kamara the lion's share of the work no matter what happened in Sunday's game. With that, here's a few more observations from the Saints' snap counts on Sunday.
As always, The Advocate will track all of the Saints' snap counts on offense and defense — provided by the official NFL game book — each week. Here's a look at the season opener. New Orleans Saints Snap Counts
