Darius Slay knows the challenge for #Eagles of playing against #saints RB @A_kamara6. Slay also touches on what he did to him a few years ago, which obviously was embarrassing @SportsRadioWIP pic.twitter.com/O6blJx2GrR

The New Orleans Saints have had many breakout players this season, as well as a few who returned to form, none more so than running back Alvin Kamara, who has reverted to his peak form in the new Klint Kubiak offensive scheme.
With the Saints taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3, veteran cornerback Darius Slay had some high praise for Kamara during his media availability on Thursday, discussing what he thinks of him, as well as one moment he won’t forget from their history.
“He’s nice with it man,” Slay said. “One of the best backs with the best balance I’ve seen in a long time man, he really breaks a lot of tackles. What’s crazy is that I told him don’t ever jump over me again, he jumped over me one time when I was in Detroit his rookie year, he really like, cleared me. So uh, Kamara I know you watching this probably, don’t jump over me like that, I’m (going to) press charges, I swear to god I’m (going to) press charges.”
It’s nice to hear Kamara get his flowers from media and fans, but hearing it from a high-level competitor in Slay, who has been in the league for 11 going on 12 seasons now, is always great. Knowing that his peers see him in the same light many of us do and knowing how difficult it is to truly tackle him, coming from one of the better corners in the league, is pretty interesting to hear.
