From the video
ETN, there's a lot of questions about ETN and whether or not we should be nervous. Do I like what we saw? No... He had nine carries, 46 yards... ETN though does see nine targets in this game. Catches seven for 32... 50 snaps for ETN, 26 for Kendrick Miller... as long as the Saints continue to do what the Saints are doing, high volume, fast pace, passing the ball a lot, ETN, I think, is going to be fine.
STACKED’s take
Etienne's snap advantage over Miller may evaporate when Kamara returns.
Travis Etienne had 9 carries for 46 yards, 1 TD, 9 targets (7 catches, 32 yards) in Week 1, providing a fine PPR day despite efficiency concerns. The source notes 50 snaps for ETN versus 26 for Kendrick Miller, with ETN dominating two-minute drill and long down-distance situations; however, the goal-line back remains unclear. With Alvin Kamara likely returning in Week 2, the backfield usage picture becomes murkier. The source's concern level rose from 0-1 pre-game to 2-3 post-game, but expects ETN to remain fine as long as the Saints maintain high-volume, fast-paced passing (56 pass attempts expected). The source expressed concern about efficiency: "Do I like what we saw? No."
