What is going on with the Saints RBs?
By: Jake Rajala
The New Orleans Saints have had a rich history of running backs in the 21st century. I’m talking about Deuce MccAllister, Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas, and of course: Alvin Kamara. Ingram and Kamara are studs. Yes, we will ignore their suspensions. It wasn’t like Spy Gate, where Bill Belichick wasn’t allowed to be in the Hall of Fame this season.
As of late, the Saints brought in Travis Etienne to be their lead halfback. He was born in Jennings, LA. The stars were aligned and he must bound to star in the Big Easy in the NFL. For some reasons, the football gods struck again. He suffered a hamstring injury. Personally, I believe they should be happy it’s not an ACL tear.
Could this be punishment on the Saints from the gods due to their bounty gate? Nonetheless, it is madness. The Saints 2026 first round pick Jordyn Tyson is injured and may not be ready within a few weeks. Let’s just hope that the sophomore QB that’s the same age as the fourth year QB Zach Wilson, doesn’t have an injury. Yes, I’m talking about QB Tyler Shough.
With Etienne MIA, the Saints really need to lean on Alvin Kamara. He will need to be less nonchalant in plays. Perhaps he will need a Snickers Airhead. After all, he has a popular partnership with Airheads.
The Saints may need to bring back Taysom Hill. We had an emotional good-bye to Hill, just as we did to Jimmy Graham, but Hill could still return. He is still available. Sean Payton may purse his lips and have the biggest call-sheet in the NFL, but that hasn’t prevented him from acquiring Hill, who he once compared to Steve Young.
