New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is off to an incredible start to the season alongside his high-flying offense that has put up 40-plus points in each of the team’s two wins.
Speaking of high-flying, Philadelphia Eagles defender Darius Slay doesn’t want to see anything of the sort when the two teams collide this weekend.
Speaking with reporters about the NFC heavyweight bout in Week 3, Slay offered a warning of sorts to Kamara.
"He's nice with it man," Slay said to reporters, as captured by Howard Eskin of Fox 29 TV. "One of the best backs with the best balance I've seen in a long time man, he really breaks a lot of tackles. What's crazy is that I told him don't ever jump over me again, he jumped over me one time when I was in Detroit his rookie year, he really like, cleared me. So, Kamara I know you watching this probably, don't jump over me like that, I'm (going to) press charges, I swear to god I'm (going to) press charges."
Slay is referring to a throwback to the Drew Brees days when he was still a member of the Detroit Lions and Kamara treated him like a human hurdle near the goal line in a blowout Saints win.
Kamara tends to do that to people though, literally and figuratively. That’s especially the case right now in this high-flying offense from coordinator Klint Kubiak, who has used a specific wrinkle more than anyone else over the last decade to help him excel.
So far, Kamara has averaged 5.7 yards per carry with four touchdowns and caught seven passes for 92 yards and a score, too. Next up is a faceoff with Slay and the Eagles in a matchup that will set the tone for the entire NFC.
