I think the mistake is not backfilling the position in the draft to have another guy back there

Kamara Miller and Donaldson is a better backup rb group than most teams

And its all a moot point if the oline doesnt start blocking

That sucks. We struggled running the ball after he went out. He’s not a top 5 RB or anything, but he’s a solid RB and we don’t really have that without him. Kamara is just a guy at this point and Miller is more injured than not.

I think we need to remember that we are in a rebuild and need to be happy we have a QB to build around. This isn’t crappy college where you can turn over a roster in a year.

What’s the deal with Estime and Neal? Are they hurt for extended period as well?

Of course after he has his best game so far. Just typical Saints luck.

I really want to see what Zamir White can do with the full playbook. He looked good in the last preseason game with basically no prep time.

Hope it’s not longer than 3-4 games

Saints are a Miller injury away from being in dire straits with no Estime on the PS.

Estime was released with an injury settlement last I saw... unless we signed him back & I missed it

It's insane. He's been durable af for the most part, the part where signing him was because he's a do it all above average rb. Not top 5 but top 10 who can stay on the field for 250+ touches a year.

But of course it's us. Land of injuries.

The fact that we are carrying these 4 RBs is more telling than anything. You have to have insurance for Kamara (ineffective) and miller (injury prone). Donaldson is there to pass block and play special teams.

No one is envious of this crop. The best teams have a guy and clear capable backup, and they fill in the gaps with guys like Kamara Donaldson and miller

Ok

In case your eyes are broken

Over the last three years, amongst RBs with at least 315 touches

38/40 yards per carry
38/40 yards after contact
31/40 missed tackles forced

Hasn’t had a run over 25 yards since 2022. He was the poster boy for these metrics in his prime

Shough 1 carry for 36 yards

Kamara 9 for 36 yards

Etienne 13-57
Miller 4-14
Donaldson1-5

from yesterday's game when it seemed like the run game was better

your eyes were broken

2023: 1000 APY in Pete Carmichaels bullshite system

2024: on his way to his first 1000 yard rushing season before getting hurt, and thats with a rookie Spencer rattler for most of the year and an incredibly injured oline

2025: another terrible oline and not being used correctly at all by kellen moore with a bad qb and rookie shough.

Not many rbs will look good with that roster over the last 3 years.

Kamara isnt in his prime, hes not what he used to be, but hes far from washed, yet fans watching him getting ran into brick wall after brick wall thinks hes done

I think that the running game has basically sucked.

the yardage total got a huge boost from Shough's run yesterday.

But once the turnovers started it was over.

The line couldn't hide when we had to pass either. Juwan had to chip on Crosby and then go out into the flat, and the ball came his way because nothing else was open
