What did Green Bay do to have success in running the ball?

In the NFL RBs need to reach the second level and usually have to break the first tackle. When you are hit before reaching the line of scrimmage you rarely are able to gain positive yardage I would like to see the Saints grab a great full back that can lead block ,run shirt yardage,and catch the ball.We are good at using the fullback. If there is a good fullback we should add him to our arsenal. Millard from OK or Copeland from LSU should be around in the 4th ,or5th rd

How they done that? can we follow and copy what they done and implement it to our team?

What is even more impressive with the Packers O LINE is that none of its starters has played a full season as a starter at their current positions.
