The Saints have flipped their run game to the outside-zone look they used against Buffalo last year, when he and Alvin Kamara both had good
games. Charting backed it up: 15 outside-zone runs, six inside zone, six man or duo. Kamara is still out about a month and Ty Chandler is on IR, so the backfield is now Miller, Travis Etienne Jr. , and Zamir White, and it is why Miller’s Week 1 usage is a volume question, not a camp footnote.

Four different running backs were the targets of passes. RB Patrick Taylor Jr. led the group with three receptions, while RB Zamir White and RB Khalil Herbert both caught a pair of passes. RB Sincere McCormick contributed with one reception. In one play, Jones dumped a short pass off to Herbert, who got to the left edge and darted down the sideline for a big gain.
