Cowboys signing Rashaan Evans to the 53-man roster

[CT Dal Fan]

Someone else needs to get, uh, "hurt" in practice soon when the Cowboys get Peyton Hendershot back. Best bets are Sean McKeon, Eric Scott, or Noah Igbinoghene.

Synopsis on his ability?

Evans is a free agent after the season. Hopefully, the Cowboys will be able to sign him after the year.

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

Part of the reason is that we didn't have to. We seem to like to add players like him to the PS and bring them up until we no longer can. Then add someone else to the PS we can bring up instead.

The other part is Clark and Bell are both better with coverage responsibilities. Evans is bouncing around because he's a limited linebacker. He can run and hit but if teams get him matched up in coverage, it's an easy win for them.

Haven’t heard yet but my guess would be DE Wheat.

Wheat would have been a good guess if Fehoko didn't have an injury.

It's not like this guy really sucked, and they'll probably ease him into a role, like everyone else. We have our staples on defense, especially with the emergence of DaRon Bland being a top-notch corner in the entire league. He's up there with Gallup for me as one of my favorite players just in general, and how much I like him being a Cowboys. Love how he's just laid back, and turns into a beast on the field. Anyway, hope to see him make a name for himself in Dallas.

Man, is he really that bad in coverage?

This film breakdown on Evans will give you a good overview of his coverage skills/deficiencies.
He seems to have issues with Cover 3 scheme and does better with Cover 2.

I haven't read anything that specifically says what his struggles was, but if you Google him, pretty much every write-up says he struggled with it.

Dallas has taken to playing everyone on the active game day roster. We should see him on the field soon and not just special teams.

Just in general, I like how Dallas is churning its depth a little and also trying to keep them involved.

Me too.
I'm a big fan of giving everyone who dresses at least a few snaps. Knowing that you're playing likely makes you much more productive in practice.

I think McKeon will just get cut and put back on the practice squad. We've done that enough with him that I don't think anyone would claim him. He may even have some callups left because I'm not sure we were calling him up before we moved him to the 53 after Hendershot got hurt.

Cover 3 is what he struggles with.

LOL, maybe he can come in and lay the wood like the Purple Drinker!

I still miss Rolando

 

[kskboys]

Ingrown toenail. You almost had it.

Just read, some knee issue. My question is, did Fehoko even know he had a knee issue?

Q doesn't need him to be that player because he has his boys already, but Evans brings something stronger to the back seven.

Synopsis on his ability?

Strong vs the run
Liability vs the pass
Fits with the Cowboys because they need that run downs MLB, they have the pass covered Bell.
