Fullback? Who Cares About Fullback?

Posted by Derek

Marty from today's presser:

On whether he expects FB Dan Klecko to be available for Sunday's game and if not, is he confident that FB Kyle Eckel can step in and play well: "Well, we'll see on that. Dan Klecko is day to day, so we'll see. (RB) Correll Buckhalter, you saw him last game, he will play fullback for us. Then Kyle is getting quite a few reps there, so we'll see on Dan, if he's available. Then, Buck will play that fullback spot. Then Kyle has taken a lot of reps at a couple of different spots, but the fullback spot as well."

First of all, I defy anyone to explain what on Earth Marty was attempting to say there.

Beyond that, I've got some hot, fresh new stats that probably explain why the Eagles' coaching staff isn't all that concerned about who plays fullback these days anyway.  By way of introduction, I should say that I've been looking for these kinds of numbers for a long, long time.  I knew FO had them, but was never able to find them anywhere public. 

But I got word in the last week or so about ESPN.com's new split stats, and yeah, let's just say they're maybe the coolest thing on the Internet wearing clothes.

Thomas Tapeh was perhaps more effective than was popularly believed.

Also, now everyone's making tables.
