He likes to stand alone at first receiver, and get the ball 2/3m behind the gain line, get knocked back and wait for support to arriveBaggyTrousers wrote:You know what Russ, ould Paulie has never been a big ball carrier in terms of yards/metres for youngish, but what he has usually done in ball carrying terms has been rock solid at getting the ball back on his side.
