From the episode

I love the involvement in the passing game. I think it's hard to overlook that. So, the one thing that we said, and Heath was great at pointing this out in Philadelphia, that Kellen Moore just doesn't usually involve his running backs in the passing game. And we saw that. So, is it a matter of he has someone that he trusts fully in that regard? Along with that, what happens when Kamara comes back?

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Etienne's passing game involvement suggests Moore trusts him despite Kamara's eventual return.

Etienne's involvement in the passing game is a major positive; Kellen Moore's offenses typically don't involve running backs heavily in the passing game, so Etienne's early usage suggests Moore trusts him fully in that role, which should keep him as a significant part of the offense even if Alvin Kamara returns.
