Preparing for the week 3 matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks, many fans may predictably find no reason to be confident in the Saints' ability to leave their first action on the road victorious. There is one reason, however, and his name is Alvin Kamara.
If one stat line from Kamara remained true, it could swing the favor to New Orleans securing its first win of the season. Averaging 178 scrimmage yards per game facing the Seahawks is production that reflects Kamara at his best.
Appearing to switch to a higher gear facing the 12th man, the Saints' chances to defeat the Seahawks will depend on Kamara's' ability to make his presence known offensively.
Alvin Kamara continuing his streak vs. the Seattle Seahawks would give the Saints their first win
With the only other two running backs to ever achieve that many scrimmage yards versus a franchise being legends Adrian Peterson & Eric Dickerson, Kamara's capabilities are accompanied by 2 greats in NFL history.
Being his highest total in scrimmage yards versus a franchise he's played 3 or more times, the gear he touches when facing Seattle isn't just a testament to his talent but the offense's abilities as a whole. Being a danger in both the run and passing game, there's no doubt in Kamara's ability to have a big game. If he continues reaching historic totals versus the Seahawks, it will likely result in a Saints victory.
No matter how well Seahawks defensive Coordinator Aden Durde may try to game plan against Kamara, his versatility with the ball opens the playbook no matter what the Seahawks try to key in on defensively.
It's no secret that Kamara's production on the field is vital if the Saints want to tally the win column for the first time this year, but with who they'll be facing off Sunday, history says you can expect Alvin Kamara and the Saints offense to have a day.
