Eagles LB Devin White comments on defending Saints RB Alvin Kamara

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, should be picking Devin White’s brain on how to stop New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara this Sunday. White has played the Saints twice a year for his entire career as a member of the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He left for Philadelphia in free agency this year but has yet to make his debut.

The addition of Klint Kubiak changes the scouting report for Kamara, but White should still be consulted. He has plenty of experience.

Tampa Bay did a good job slowing down Kamara for much of his tenure. White spoke about this on social media Saturday morning. He made it clear slowing down Kamara is hard and gave credit to Todd Bowles, who was the Buccaneers’ defensive coordinator before being promoted to head coach.

White could give Fangio insight on some of the things Bowles did that were effective. Defending Kamara has always been a tough order given his versatility as a runner and receiver, and Klint Kubiak is putting his skills to good use. Kamara goes into Week 3 as the NFL leader in yards from scrimmage through the first two weeks of action.

But it’s unclear if White will be a part of implementing Fangio’s strategy. He missed Week 1 with an ankle injury before being a healthy scratch last week. His familiarity with the Saints, and Bijan Robinson’s effectiveness against the Eagles’ defense last Monday night, could lead to a change at linebacker. It would be a change that could result in White getting his first snaps of the year.
