Saints at the top of Davante Adams’ wish list [Raiders trade Adams to Jets for conditional 3rd ; Jets paying Adams’ entire remaining salary]

I think Olave and Shaheed are serviceable on a run first offense that doesn't run many 3 WR sets. THAT is what was working the first two weeks when we were scoring 40+ points. When those guys return, the team will be better. Heck, I'd rather have a new RB2 and split AK out if we needed a 3rd WR than pay what the Raiders are asking for Adams.

You make a good point and a solid argument for a better use of resources.

That would put AK in more favorable positions to succeed and having another quality RB to share snaps would take the heavy load off of Alvin.

Tonight was a case where the holes weren't there (Oline woes or not) and the play calls were getting Kamara smothered up.

His stat line says it all. He had 11 rushes for 26 yards, averaging 2.4 yards per carry. He came into the game averaging 20 rushing attempts for 90 yards @ 4.5 YPC

Through 4 games he was tied for the lead in rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns. Tonight, he was held without a TD. He did show up in the passing game.

KC wasn't going to let Kamara beat them by himself.

It's not just excuses when calling out the extreme number of injuries the Saints have had to the Oline.
