Kamara can run the ball between the tackles, but he's not really a guy that can pound it in the way that Ingram does against particular defensive configurations. The Giants knew we were lacking this, so they often just sat back a lot of guys in coverage. This was the right choice for them, and almost worked. Kamara did indeed end up with a ton of yards yesterday, but we didn't really run the ball as consistently as the stats would indicate(he had a ton of short yard runs, with some huge runs mixed in between). Not having a guy that can just pound yards out makes it especially hard to throw in the redzone. I think we'll improve starting next week.

You will se Ingram in the backfield, Kamara in the slot. Thomas and Hill on the field and the defences will just have to pick their poison.
