00:00Tamara was so unbelievable and I, you know, I never remembered him doing anything like

00:09that frankly ever.

00:12I mean, I always thought he was good, but I never saw him light it up like that yesterday

00:17where he like, I don't know what I was watching.

00:19I was like, I, you know, I always thought he had it all, you know, talent wise, but

00:24I've never seen him mix it up like that.

00:27Well, he scored the four touchdowns.

00:30He did score six touchdowns, ran for six touchdowns against Minnesota on Christmas Day in 2020.

00:34But I mean, the last three seasons, years ago, the last three seasons, his numbers have

00:39dipped and it just hadn't looked like quite the Alvin Kamara we're accustomed to seeing

00:44it.

00:45And he's a guy who's always in phenomenal shape physically.

00:48He's got a great mind for the game.

00:50We just didn't know how we're translating this offense and you see Christian McCaffrey

00:53in this offense and you see other running backs in this offense and you say, man, they're

00:57very productive.

00:58Alvin Kamara saw those same things and he knew that production could be his if he was

01:04in this offense.

01:05And he has exploded, especially against Dallas yesterday, where he looked like the Alvin

01:10Kamara that we're accustomed to seeing from five, six years ago, where he looked fresh.

01:15He's got some of the best balance I've ever seen for a running back.

01:18And he was just a guy who was not going to be denied.

01:21And he ran for the tough yards too.

01:22It wasn't just a flash in the dash.

01:25He muscled up between the tackles when they had to, when they needed some tough yards.

01:30Have you ever seen anyone do that with that much of a gap in their career of when they

01:37were great, when they were young, and then four years later, do it again?

01:43I can't remember anyone losing four years of their life in a football career and having

01:49a game like that.

01:50On that 57-yard screenplay, he was just a monster.

01:55And I'm sitting there watching going, what?

01:58I was in Vegas and I'm going, what is happening here?

02:02What is going on here with this guy?

02:04I go, do you remember this guy?

02:06I'm looking at people in the bar.

02:07I'm going, do you remember this guy?

02:08Think about it, Scott.

02:09This is a running back.

02:13These guys fall off the table at a certain age.

02:17They don't just dip.

02:18They fall off the table.

02:19And you wondered if Alvin Kamara was in that spot where he was literally about to fall

02:24off the table.

02:25So when you're talking about four years gap between running back, that's almost totally

02:30different than any other beast in the NFL because their production drops so sharply

02:35and they generally never get it back.

02:38But he is the guy who apparently, maybe he never lost it and they just needed a new offensive

02:43system.

02:44They needed some new blood.

02:45They needed some new schemes to free him up and get him in space.
