Vick ---> McCoy

[Phantom Knight]

Does anyone have or know where I can find the targets that McCoy received from Vick.

 

I have the total targets from the game but not the Kolb/Vick split. Even splits for targets in 1st half versus 2nd half would be sufficient.

 

Thanks

Maybe just check the play by play over at nfl.com. Then bring it back here and share as I would be interested in that info as well but don't have the time to search it out myself.

I just spent the 3 minutes it took to view the play by play.

 

In the 2nd half McCoy had:

 

4 carries for 25 yards and a TD

3 catches for 35 yards

 

Not sure what that tells you, but there it is.

Thanks for the info/effort. What I was looking for was targets from Vick.

 

I just went thru the play-by-play at NFL.com. Here is what I saw - looking at only the 2nd half which is what I consider more indicative of Vick as starter versus Vick as special package qb.

 

Targets from Vick:

 

• J Avant 7
  
• D Jackson 7
  
• J Maclin 4
  
• B Celek 3
  
• E Buckley 1
  
• L McCoy 3
  

 

 

Runs:

 

• M Vick 7
  
• L McCoy 5
  
• M Bell 1
  

 

 

Sacks:

 

• Vick 3
  

 

 

My sense of what I saw in the play by play:

 

• Avant seemed to be targeted in bunches - especially at the very begining. My gut reaction to this is that Avant is his safety net. When he first came out, Avant was his hot read.
  
• As Vick settled down and got comfortable he started to spread the ball around. At that point, Jackson rose in prominence.
  
• Of Celeks 3 looks, 2 came on back to back plays. So for most of the half he was invisible.
  
• Vick "ran" more than McCoy did (7 to 5). But he was pressured pretty good if I am remembering correctly and was sacked 3 times.
  

 

 

As to my originial question, McCoy got 5 carries and 3 targets in a half with Vick as qb. That projects to 16 touches/targets for a game. This was in "come from behind mode" and I will leave it to others more versed than I as to how to interpret that. Honestly, I don't like the small number of targets/touches - especially knowing that he is supposedly a pass catching rb and it was catchup time. Despite that, I will probably trot McCoy out this week against Detroit.
