Heath Evans Wants To Return

Fullback Heath Evans told the Boston Herald this week that he would like to return. He knows that it takes time to sort through the free agents on the roster currently, but if it were up to Evans, he'd like to return to New England

"I don't want to go anywhere," Evans told the Herald. "But I'll let them get all the bigwigs like (Matt) Cassel and all of them squared away."

After eight seasons in the NFL, Evans has learned to be patient. He also said he hopes to retire with the team. "That's where I want to be. That's where I want to retire," Evans said.
I wonder what (if anything) he's implying in the red bit?

Just "OK, I get they don't have the money to resign me just yet, but I know they'll figure something out."

Nothing new: two years ago, he told the Globe: "Fit-wise, it couldn't be more perfect. . . . I could care less about money. I'm a loyalist. They were good to me at a time the game of football wasn't."

And, as I've said before, he's one of those guys that makes it easy to root for the Pats.

That he realizes he plays a non-glamour position with lesser cap implications than QB.

Heath's comments on the position of Fullback:

Quote:
TC: We live in a fantasy football world. I’m not sure if a lot of fans spend a lot of time thinking about the fullback. Seems like a position that requires selflessness.

Evans: Definitely in some offenses more than others. I get some touches on short yardage here and there. Last year I was a goal-line back for a while until some other guys got healthy. All in all, you’re kind of a glorified guard. You’re called on to pound it up in there and open up some holes, and you know what? I love it. It fits my personality. Everyone wants to be scoring touchdowns and rushing for a bunch of yardage, but at the end of the day there’s really not much better in life than being a piece of a puzzle on a great team,

Nice to see that he wants to remain a Patriot.

I'm curious. Does anyone know how many offensive snaps Evans was on the field for this season compared to last?

As long as there are only 10 other Patriots at the time, I don't much care.

2008: 213 snaps, 19%
Offensive participation for 2008 season - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com

2007: ? - I don't know. I couldn't find a season total anywhere, but he only played in ten games in 2008 compared to all 16 in 2007.
