Alvin Kamara is a better back going North/South than East/West (1 Viewer)

He has the speed to hit edges when needed and thats great but Payton needs to use Alvin more conventionally and get Alvin to the 2nd level of the defense and let Alvin make his one step cuts at that point. Too much speed in the NFL to be going side to side all the damn time. There should be no run play difference of calling when either AK or Latavius is in the game. If Alvin is too brittle to take the conventional pounding of a RB, then Latavius needs to be the workhorse and then you bring in doses of Kamara post Murray pounding the rock.

Remember in 2017 when no arm tackle could bring him down. he was a weapon then. Oh well time and body hits take their toll.

Tampa has one of the best run stopping defenses in the league. We shouldn't make any rash judgments off of what we saw in the run game Sunday, aside from that Kamaras top end speed appears to be back.

Kamara's big plays have come mostly in runs inside the tackles.
