I remember the hit he took in the Jacksonville game. I'm surprised that he was able to keep playing.

He's got a ton of heart. I respect him even more now.

A few posters here were hoping AK to be traded this off season knowing he was obviously injured in 2019.

Finding another RB with Alvin's elite skill set is easier said that done.

When healthy, he's been special.

Key words Major, skill set, he can't be used as a bell cow or we see what happens. If Payton tries using him that way again I expect the same results, injured.

I can't foresee Payton not using Latavious Murray more this season.

That would be... inconceivable.

I dont know, Payton is kind of a master of "we need to run the ball more" yet in the moment his ego takes over and passing the ball becomes his entire play sheet.

Don't forget that Brees always has the opportunity to audible out of a run if the defense is showing run coverage. And that happens quite a bit, especially when the other team knows we WANT to try to establish the run. The key to Payton's offense has always been to take what the defense gives you. It has nothing to do with ego (on either Payton's or Brees' part) when they appear to "abandon" the run. It has everything to do with responding to what the defense shows. Is it always successful? Of course not. But, over the years, it is hard to argue with the overall success of Payton's offenses.

Since he didn't have corrective surgery, we'll have to see if he regains that very same form.

AK needs to get smarter and choose his acrobatic moves wisely. It's when he elevates off his feet he becomes prone to injury from vicious hits not to mention hard landings.

You are talking as if he is constantly getting injured. Every RB experiences injuries. It is all part of the job. Asking him to stop doing what makes him great doesn't make much sense.

He didn't have anything that needed surgery to correct, Smash.
