The New Orleans Saints run game in Week 14 was very hit-or-miss on pretty much every possession, but Kendre Miller showed a few flashes of promise in his time on the field, including an 8-yard touchdown run and a 31-yard kick return as well. Interim head coach Darren Rizzi saw this and praised Miller after the game when speaking with the media.
He started out by saying, “I think Kendre is again showing you why we drafted him. He made some really, really dynamic drives. He has the ability of making an 8-yard run look good. Making people miss. Getting tough yards.”
He followed that up by saying, “Kendre’s gotta just stay consistent, that’s been his thing right? So we gotta do that again next week, we gotta have another good practice week, we gotta just stay healthy. So those are the things. But you saw the flashes today and the athletic ability, that’s the guy we knew we were drafting.”
After hearing pretty much nothing but negativity about Miller from previous head coach Dennis Allen, it is nice to hear a fresh take on him from Rizzi and some praise for the work he has put in.
