Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins has gone almost 200 snaps without a catch, but according to wide receivers coach Carson Walsh, production isn’t everything. The talented special teams standout hasn’t had a catch since Philadelphia’s upset win over the Packers on Thursday night Sept. 26, and in the five games since Hollins has played 182 snaps with zero catches and just three total targets.
On Monday Eagles wide receivers coach Carson Walsh address Hollins’s lack of production and had this to say about Mack doing all the important things right on Sundays per NJ.com.
“At the end of the day when Mack Hollins grades out for us, he’s one of our top graders every week because he aligns right, he assigns right and he plays with great effort. We believe when the ball comes Mack’s way he’s going to make the play for us.”
“I don’t think there’s a direct reason and I know production is a word that’s getting thrown around a lot,” Walch said on Monday. “But production as a player, to me, isn’t just how many catches you have in a game. Each guy on our team has a role and right now Mack Hollins has done a very good job at his role. A lot of it is blocking but he’s running the routes we’re asking him to run, he’s getting to his depth and when the ball comes to Mack, he’ll make the play.”
The Eagles as a staff have chalked up his lack of production to the offensive pecking order, explaining that Alshon Jeffery, Zach Ertz, Miles Sanders, Dallas Goedert, Nelson Agholor and others all take precedent over Hollins.
