Questions about how the New Orleans Saints might use their superb young running back Alvin Kamara during Mark Ingram's four-game suspension might have been answered Sunday (Sept. 9) against the Buccaneers.
It appears the Saints are quite comfortable giving Kamara a heavy workload -- heavier than he ever received last season while splitting time with Ingram in the Saints backfield.
Kamara played 52 of 64 possible offensive snaps, meaning he was on the field for 81 percent of the Saints plays from scrimmage. Both the number of snaps and the percentage represent a career high for Kamara, who topped out at 46 snaps and 65 percent in last season's game against the Redskins.
