Cowboys signing Rashaan Evans to the 53-man roster

[Runwildboys]

Training in our system? Or we're just dumb. Could be either.

Okay, so not an injury or anything. That's good!

Evans is a legit NFL LB. Even w/ his coverage issues, he immediately becomes the best LB on our team. This guy can play.

..hoping your right. Will need this guy, LIKE real soon.

This isn't a big surprise. I hope the Cowboys can get his role figured out and he can step in and make a few big plays soon.

He has played early and often in the last game.

Giants Game (defensive snaps)
Evans 63%
M. Bell 39%
Clark 53%

Eagles Game (defensive snaps)
Evans 0%
M. Bell 94%
Clark 92%

He has been good other than a penalty on ST and a missed tackle when he and a teammate collided with each other instead of with the ball carrier.

 

[xwalker]

Considering we lost our two starters, released another, we are actually in good shape at the position, mainly due to Bell emerging. Add more weight this offseason to his frame and he is locked in as 1 of our starters.

Most snaps of the 3 last week.

 

[xwalker]

Didn't the league before last season make the change that allows a practice squad player to be elevated to the active squad without cutting someone -- two opportunities-- so it can go from 53 active to 55 active?

He has been active for 3 games...

Ok, I was thinking while reading through this thread "I swear I saw him playing last week". I know it was "just the Giants", but he seemed to look good in his first major Cowboys action.

Perfectly said.

I’m sure this was covered when he was first signed, but I admittedly didn’t pay much attention.

For personal reasons, that draft was one I paid little attention to, so I didn’t even realize he was a first rounder.

Top recruit, Alabama stud when they were on top….what happened when he got to Tennessee?

I would have thought he had a high floor.

High tackle total in Atlanta last year.

Who IS this guy and can he be more than a depth piece?

I would imagine somebody like Eric Scott or Fehoko suffered a “phantom injury” yesterday

'Carson' hit the bullseye - DE Villiami Fehoko Jr. to IR.

I asked on a different thread who nailed that move...it was @Carson , ok cool.

I like the way the snap distribution is shaping out.
Evan is the base formation (run downs) MLB. Clark plays in base and nickel, while, Bell is a nickel LB. This is a good plan for each guys skill set.

7th in the NFL in tackles last season.

At the very least, he is an above average LB.

Dang sprained toenail.

With the revamped stipulations regarding the practice squad, active vs. inactive decisions, and roster numbers throughout a season --- o
I think the NFL, In collaboration with the networks broadcasting their games -- should create and develop a televised program that specifically covers all changes that alter how teams operate during the upcoming season.
Air that show daily every Thursday through Sunday during training camp thru preseason games.

Ingrown toenail. You almost had it.

I don’t think he could be sent back. His call ups were up

 

[conner01]

Then I have ask; Why is he just now being added to the roster?

He’s been active for games. There was no reason to put him on 53 since you could call him up. His call ups have ran out so they had to sign. They just used the system as it’s designed

 

[conner01]

He’s played in a few games already. They just used a PS spit rather than 53 man roster while they could

 

[Rockport]

He won't have a problem figuring out what a linebacker is supposed to be doing. Uh, he's a linebacker. He has a knowledge of contact inbred and has some strength as a respectable contributer. He has a knowledge now of players about him, and already has the instincts for fitting in. He is not too old age wise, to be able to pick things up again, and just starting to fit in at Dallas. You thinking he will just be walking around not helping out? Money here and now, will NOT be an issue!

Let's go Cowboys! I like a real player added!!

It’s a shame CCBoy needs to say this.
