He does get his touches. It's just that every time he touches it, the ball either hits the floor or falls into the arms of the defense.

Floyd has passed him by, and as a coach, you have to play the best players. What Kamara needs is better hands and a major confidence boost.

And a bus ticket to Arizona.

PLEASE ... Kamara had enough opportunities to definitely be in the top 4 in number of catches. How many times has a CATCHABLE pass hit him in the chest or went thru his hands this year so far? I guarantee it's been more than 4, which if he caught them would put him up in the top 4! Not to mention that his route running has been suspect at times (giving up on the route or mis-direction). He has the tools to be a real good receiver; he's just not clicking as of yet. I hope (pray) that he proves me wrong starting this weekend!

Could it just be a 2nd year slump hopefully he will snap out of it, he has way too much potential to keep playing the way he has been.

He'll be fine, he just needs to build some confidence... having Kumara as a 3rd or 4th WR option I think says a lot about our team, and does not make defenses feel good

As a past WR, i would put 4 of Jimmy's 6 ints on Kamara. I haven't seen a post where someone comented on the great roll out away from pressure to the write and throw back to kamara coming across the middle only to have it hit kamaras cheast and bounce off.

He has had many opportunities. Tate and FLoyd have both proven to be doing much better no only in the spread but goal line slants and jump ball fade situations.

We need some early big leads to get kamara in and build his confidence back. He has the talent.
