Yahoo Sports NFL on Devin Singletary
From the article
It was most notable on Devin Singletary's 9-yard run early in the fourth quarter. There is a very noticeable hesitation among the Saints' linebackers and safeties, with the safeties backpedaling at the start of the play only to have to stick and drive on the ball.
STACKED’s take
Singletary's 9-yard run showed how QB alignment changes can unlock run game effectiveness.
Singletary showed improved effectiveness when the Giants adjusted their offensive alignment and play-calling in the fourth quarter with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback. On a notable 9-yard run early in the fourth quarter, Singletary lined up even with McCarthy in shotgun formation, creating ambiguity for Saints defenders about whether McCarthy would run, pass, or hand off; this hesitation among Saints linebackers and safeties allowed Giants blockers to establish and lock in their blocks. The source notes that Singletary needs to be more patient letting blocks develop and willing to hit holes decisively, but the alignment adjustment and threat of the quarterback run game created a more dynamic rushing attack.
