RUNNING BACKS

Perkins still is this team’s top back, but his five carries for three yards weren’t inspiring. Even his early seven-yard run didn’t satisfy McAdoo. “Paul Perkins was one-on-one with the safety, and we need more than seven yards there,” the coach said. “He has to make him miss, or he has to run him over. We have to at least get a first down on that play.” Rookie Wayne Gallman stood out most in that, true to his reputation, the fourth-round pick gained 12 of his 11 yards after contact on his five carries, per PFF (one tote went for minus-1 yard). Orleans Darkwa (three carries, 18 yards) was the high man on yards, continuing a strong camp.
