Maybe I’m off base, but earlier this season it seemed Kamara was having the time of his life, playing pitch and catch, just having fun.

Ever since the Dallas game I’ve noticed he doesn’t quite have the perpetual smile on his face after every play. Anybody think the same, maybe I’m crazy. Coincidentally we’ve struggled offensively during these weeks.

I hope next week and the bye week will serve to re-energize our squad and put the fun back in it for these guys once the games start to really count. Let’s geaux!

I think you are seeing something that isnt there. The film is out on the saints offense focusing on kamara and thomas. Film is also out on the rams and chiefs. But great offenses adjust

I’m sure he’s so sad about being on the team with the best record in the league. Must be really depressing.

I think that’s just a function of defenses adjusting and frustration setting in. If the offense was still kicking arse and scoring at will Kamara would have a huge smile on his face.
That being said I think you’ll see plenty of smiling from here on out since we should be in the dome for the foreseeable future.

Nobody on offense is smiling.

They know they're the reason we're 2-1 the last 3. They know they're the reason why brees is losing the mvp race.

They know they're the weak link right now.

With Ginn and Armstrad back, the offense will open up for Kamara... he will be smiling..

he may have just been constipated from all the airheads too.. hopefully he’s laid off them a little bit

Ginn is gonna change everything! He gives this offense that extra threat on the outside it has been missing. Just watch it will open up so much and they will start rolling again starting today!

I do think that he got his bell ring on that hit.

While he had still been good I don’t think he is 100%.

I agree. He's not far off but a little less explosive than earlier in the year. Probably nicked or the grind of the early season

I think they implemented the offense they wanted earlier than anticipated and they've simply gone conservative to minimize injury.

That's been my take.

I think it's more that defenses discovered the Saints threw to Thomas or Kamara 50% of the time on 3rd down and ran bracket coverage.

It's less fun when the ball doesn't go your way on crucial downs and your punting after lesser-known saints are dropping those targets.

Not off base.

I like Kamara. What I don’t like is the game Brees breaks the passing record, he puts on a Kaep Jersey just to spark up controversy and try to take away from Bree’s special night. I see him run out of bounds on plays where he used to stretch a few more yards. He doesn’t look happy like he used to. He honestly looks like he doesn’t want to be there half the time. I expect the down votes, because some people just have blinders on when it comes to their teams.

football is a hard game and he's been hit double digit times for 14 games plus preseason. They're all hurting.

You’re going to get trashed here but something is off about Kamara I agree. He doesn’t look like the same player.

Hopefully it’s just as simple as defensive focus.

He's being keyed on. I really think it's as simple as that. When he and Mike are the only legit threats on the field, it's easy to bracket them and make guys most fans have never heard of try to beat you.

It's not outrageous to say he looks off.
