McMullen Stats

I went through the Redskins preseason to see what McMullen had done. I was hoping he was productive because he was a veteran working against second rate coverage. He was extremely productive! It is understandable the Skins didn't take a journeyman like McMullen with vets like Moss, Randle El, and young prospects like Malcom Kelly. Since Zorn supposedly brought the Holmgren offense over to Washington he should be pretty near ready to go. McMullen caught passes from four different Redskins quarterbacks (including Derek Devine!). He caught balls deep and short. I am really hoping this guy turns into a real diamond in the rough.

Targets: 31
Catches: 22
Rate: %71
Yards : 243
Yards / Target: 7.84
Yards / Catch: 11.05
First Downs: 12
FD / Target: %39
FD / Catch: %55

Here is my methodology:

1. Defensive Pass interference against McMullen I count as catches. Offensive pass interference by McMullen I count as - 10 yards, 0 targets, 0 catches (as there is no loss of down).
2. False Starts on McMullen I count as -5 yards, 0 targets, 0 completions (as there is no loss of down).
3. I ignore stats for plays nullified by a penalty like a holding, but keep them if it was a defensive penalty that was declined.
4. Personal Fouls, etc. after the play is dead are ignored (the foul, not the play) if McMullen isn’t committing them.

Here is the data:

Joe Jurevicius 2.0?

God I hope so

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

...

With our WCO…I’ve always wanted a big WR. A 6’4" guy with hands sounds like a dream come true right now. If he is good enough to see the field(by the numbers, he’ll see the field regardless) then having him and Carlson as reliable big targets should help a lot.

I wonder why he hasn't stuck in the league

He could just be a terriable route runner and could have a problem getting open. But lets hope thats not the case.

Just like Kent...

Maybe the perception was that he was not as ready as the players around him…or like Logan Payne that he doesn’t have as much upside as players those teams already had. The Redskins seem to be that situation…and the Eagles have had a lot of young WR talent the past several years.

I don’t think a lot of athletic talent is needed for a WR in this offense…the ability to run routes(as you said) and the ability to catch the ball.

I also wonder

if perhaps the reason Kent was cut was the thought that he actually might make it through to the practice squad. His dismal performance on Sunday might’ve actually helped with that.

God, I hope we retain Forsett and Kent.

More McMullen Stats

From FO:

2006 (Minnesota)
DYAR: 55
YAR: 56
DVOA: 4.3%
VOA: 4.8%
Passes: 42
Yards: 306
True Yards: 342
TD: 3
Catch Rate: 57%

2005 (Philadelphia)
DYAR: -9
YAR: -6
DVOA:-15.6%
VOA:-14.6%
Passes: 38
Yards: 268
True Yards: 246
TD: 1
Catch Rate: 47%

He didn’t play much in 2004 or 2003 (and obviously 2007). Keep in mind that in 2005 the Eagles were a total trainwreck, going 6-10 and losing their starting QB (McNabb). Of course this was before losing McNabb for the year was a near certainty which the Eagles were prepared for.

I’m feeling good about this pickup.

ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease

I hope so.

P.S. I want Kent back

I was the poor bastard that had Tom Brady on my Field Gulls fantasy football team.

Sammie Parker

The Hawks added Sammie Parker when they placed Simms on the IR. Parker WILL be the slot receiver/kick returner this week. They will probably start Payne but McMullen will see more field time with Taylor and Parker. God I hope Carlson develops into the 80-90 pass reception TE that Holmgren’s always wanted here.
