He took a lot of hits, late into the game, and at some point I found myself wishing we could have wrapped Kamara in the bubble wrap, put him away for a spell and wishing we had that big, broad-shouldered, Ingram-type SEC-style big bruiser back in there, to grind out the yards at the end of the game and close it out, protect the lead. That was always one of Ingram's fortes. Wasn't impressed with Murray or Washington yesterday, hardly at all.

Kamara is an amazing weapon, he's explosive, he's fierce, he's volatile, and he runs 110% every snap -- but he's a small guy and we've seen in other past games that opposing teams will tend to target his head or go for extracurricular shots at him out of bounds, grab at his ankles and twist, when he's already on the ground in the pile, and so forth. I hate to think of the extra wear and tear we are putting on him, using him over and over and over as a bell-cow back with a big cushion and a 20 point lead. I'm not 100% comfortable with that but he played his heart out yesterday, I don't want to take anything away from his amazing game.
You know Kamara and Ingram are the same size, right?

Ingram 5'9" 215lbs
Kamara 5'10" 215lbs

Yeah, it's cause Ingram's built like a fire hydrant. Broad at the shoulders. He just looks bigger. Kamara is thick from the hips down. That makes his upper body look smaller proportionally.
