SANTA CLARA – With Moran Norris out indefinitely with a fractured fibula, rookie Bruce Miller will be the new starting fullback.
Here’s what Miller said to reporters at his locker this afternoon.
Q: How comfortable are you at fullback?
MILLER: Very. Very confident in knowing the game plan and what I have to do to execute the fullback position.
Q: Is that easy for you to say – fullback?
MILLER: Yeah, it is now. Going through the preseason it was a little bit different. As we’ve made our way through it’s gotten easier and easier.
Q: Your style, is it similar to Moran’s?
MILLER: I’m going to try to do my best to bring what Moran brought to the offense. Just a powerful fullback who can execute the blocks and help lead the way for Frank.
Q: In training camp Jim instructed you to “put a little sugar on those flakes.”
MILLER: Put a little sugar on what?
Q: Put a little sugar on those flakes. He was miced up during training camp and he said to you to put a little sugar on those flakes. Do you recall that?
MILLER: Put sugar on what?
Q: Put a little sugar on those flakes. Do you know what that means?
MILLER: I’d never heard that one before. Those are the ones where you just say yes sir, Coach, and then you do what you have to do.
Q: How much have you learned from Moran?
MILLER: Everything. A lot of technique, footwork, positioning, how to execute blocks and how to block somebody. It’s different than trying to get around them and get to the quarterback, so he’s helped out tremendously for me.
