Alvin Kamara News

Saints running back Alvin Kamara rejects the premise that his absence from voluntary practices this offseason indicates a lack of commitment to learning New Orleans’ new offense. Kamara practiced for the first time this offseason when mandatory minicamp opened. He had skipped nine voluntary practices spread over the previous three weeks.

“I’m not worried about Alvin really knowing what to do; he’s really smart and he’s a professional,” Allen said. “It’s really more about getting the rhythm and the timing ... and how these particular plays need to be run and what that feels like.” “I understand what kind of the word has been — doing something different and everybody being here,” Kamara said. “I kind of just stuck with what I know, you know? I don’t think any of my teammates took offense to it, really.”

Now Kamara says he’s encouraged by the Saints’ efforts to transition toward the type of offensive scheme that has worked well for defending NFC champion San Francisco, where Kubiak was a top assistant under Kyle Shanahan last season.
