My fingers are crossed. We really need a run stopping end who can get some pressure.

I was saying weeks ago I thought Evans was an important guy to keep around, even more so now with JT out of the picture. I think he would be fine as a 2 down DE. And bring in someone like Wilson on 3rd downs.

But what's JLC's take on it?? that's where the real nuggets are!

He doesn't have time to comment. He is still digging up dirt with Archuleta.

With Taylor gone, it makes sense to bring him back. And I guess he'd have been given assurances he'd start if brought back. So then you get Smith/Oher in the first round and Freeman in the 3rd.

I would pop a top to that! For 2 years for 4 million we should throw some performance bonus in to get this done now...

Schefter says they've discussed a two-year deal in the $4 million range, but I can't tell if he means Evans and the Niners or Evans and the Redskins, or both?

Is this the same as sleeping with your underwear inside out to have a snow day? LOL.

I hope Evans decides to sign with the Skins.
It would be a huge improvement on goal line D and Short yardage D to line up Evans at one end and Daniels at the other and Haynesworth and Griffen at DT. That would be a tough line to run on. Sit Little Andre Carter down on the bench on obvious run plays.

Never heard of that. But here in Syracuse NY it snows almost every day. But if it will bring Evans back I'll give it a go.

You'd bring them both back? Why not just bring Evans back, and on goal line situations slide Haynesworth out and bring in Montgomery or Golston (even Alexander) as your second DT?

That is another good option, but you need depth at DE. I have always been in favor of keeping two pass rushers and two run stoppers at DE and sub them as needed. Due to Daniels injury last year we only had one run stopper Evans.

For true Goaline D you usually line up 3 DT's (Haynesworth, Griffen and Montgomery) and 2 DE's (Daniel and Evans).
For short yardage 4-3 I would lne up Griffen and Daniels at DT and Daniels and Evans at DE.
It would be tough run on those D-lines.

Carter is just flat better against the run than Evans though.

Although I will say in the Power Situations you speak of, that might not be the case.
