Explains a lot.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

Anyone watching could tell he wasn't the same player in the second half of the season. Looked tentative.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

Yes, it does. He was rumored to have had a high ankle sprain, but those are harder to play through than a knee. No way to help stabilize the high ankle like you can a knee or even a normal ankle sprain. Although, the knee would still have greatly hampered his play.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

Not sure if he was tentative, but the explosiveness and acceleration were surely lacking. Recall his first two seasons where it looked like he was pulling away from defenders without make much of an effort.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

They have been saying that he had a high ankle sprain and "a knee".

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

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.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

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.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

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.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

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

That would be... inconceivable.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

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.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

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.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

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

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

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.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

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.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

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

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

Maybe so AG, but I hold my breath every-time he jumps over a defender. But your right this is what he does best.

Re: Revelation about Alvin Kamara's Injury Last Season
 

True Dat! Payton gets hard headed from time to time.

Where are those people saying that there was no way Kamara would be a Saints next year? Oh, yeah. They're the same ones that said last year was going to be Brees' last. :D
