How a spark plug, an ugly runner and a rookie will carry the Saints' backfield

METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints are looking for the new version of “Boom and Zoom.”

That was one of the nicknames for running backs Mark Ingram II and Alvin Kamara, who made history together for two seasons after becoming the first duo to tally more than 1,500 yards apiece from scrimmage in 2017.

The Saints have tried and failed to recapture that magic, and they’re hoping Kamara and new addition Jamaal Williams could be the right backfield combination.

And if rookie Kendre Miller, the Saints’ third-round pick out of TCU, pans out, the Saints might just be looking into nicknames for trios.
