Rookies 2009

why is Kerry Glenn ahead of Mullin. has less overall yards (by a significant margin) and has less td's. yeah, 5.2 ypc is nice, but if you have 2 carries, 1 for 10 yards and 1 for 0 yards, guess what - your ypc would be 5.0 too. 68 carries is nothing.

still, nice to see Mullin contending for OROY and not being a bust. that woulda sucked.

If you look at Mullin's stats, the only thing separating him from other rookie WR's like Bakker, Hatcher, Lindsey, and Webber, is the number of targets he has. He doesn't have a high ypc, he hasn't shown particularly good hands, and he doesn't have an impressive amount of YAC. Targets do count for something though, which is why I have him ahead of those other receivers. I'll answer the RB question in my next post...

Where's the love for Roy Ramsey - Cleveland RB?

What happened to Hernandez, he has more than 100 yards more than the RB listed.

Ramsey's YPC is the same as IFL superstar [ifl]Leo Meadows[/ifl] and the corpse of [ifl]Cody Reyes[/ifl], and he hasn't had much impact on the passing game. If [ifl]Ernie Mooberry[/ifl] had 200+ carries, I feel he would be more effective than Ramsey has been so far.

Hernandez has had a good season, but if you add in receiving yards he only has about 50 more total yards than Glenn, with almost twice as many rushes. Both are backups. It was a tough call, but Glenn has more than a yard per carry advantage on every rookie RB with more than 30 carries.

And if you look at Haynes, he has 9 more KRB's than the next closest rookie, and better KRB and pass block percentages than the other two who have played at least 9 games.
