‘The thing I’m most impressed by on the longer runs is they’ve been able to hit with those pullers, especially with Devin Singletary in the backfield. Singletary does a great job of setting up the offensive line because it’s not that easy to pull in space on guys that are much faster than you. You need the running back to be patient, to put the defender right on you and then break off of you. As a rookie, he’s just phenomenal at it. You have to tip your hat to Singletary and Gore. Singletary has been attached to Gore’s hip and you know he is helping him in these types of situations.’
