Is AK alright?

homerj07 · 09-24-2018, 04:10 PM

I had to watch highlights of the game on Red zone and such BUT it looked liked/seemed that Kamara wasn't having fun. He usually seems happy and carefree.
Are the coaches working him too hard while Ingram is out?

You guys get to see the games more then me. So I thought I would get your opinion.

Thanks

I really think he was gassed at the end of the game. On consecutive plays he ducked out-of-bounds when he usually turns for the extra yard or two.
He was pretty amped when he thought he had the winning TD, so he's okay mentally. We need to find someone else to pick up 5-6 touches next week. Seems like Brees checks down to him way too often

There's really no other option at this point for the check down until Ingram returns.

Dude had 16 carries and like 15 catches...plus returns. Wayyyy tooooo much. We better figure out something else. SP was well aware of the MI suspension. No excuses

And your solution if we still want to win every game?

Solved it in the draft or off-season like the Saints should have. Not to injure one of our main weapons would be a start. I wouldn't excuse over using one of our stars to the point that he's going to get injured from fatigue.

Take out Williams and bring up Scott. He has to be better than the garbage we're putting out there aside from Kamara.

Can't speak for any other poster but Kamara is getting used far too much in this offense. He's a RB/slot back, WR & now occasionally punt returns. In the words of my grandmother ... "he's probably spent & exhausted".

Kamara is a special player & his health is paramount. One more week and then Mark Angrum

returns.

He is going to get injured if sp doesn't slow the f down.
