Gillislee just seems slow & indecisive. You have to believe this guy is gone once Ingram returns.

If TLL isn't healthy, I hope they bring up Boston Scott. We need a spark in the run game. Jonathan & Gillislee hadn't impressed + Kamara is too valuable to pound exclusively for 4 quarters.

Kamara and Scott would be very hard to handle. Our other RBs aren't doing diddly. It's liek last year when it took several games for them to give Kamara more of a role.

Edit: Back on topic. I immediately noticed his limp. He looked in pain later in the game. I believe that we can over use him and are doing just that. The very thing Payton said he would not do. Also, why keep pounding him between the tackles every time? I guess we never did find Payton needed chess piece like he had hoped would develop into something reliable at TC.

Where is Robertson? DA should have this **** figured out by now and players should be comfortable in the system at this point. Geez......

Kamara is a WR. Sure, he can run the ball inside but waaaaaay more important in space as a WR. He can play slot or, go deep or be the screen. Almost no RB has that ability or even WR for that matter. Very hard game plan against him. Take Carlos Hyde. He does swing passes. That's it. Nothing more. Kamara should not be running inside other than to put a wrench in things from time to time.
