Goal line O - New England Patriots Forums

I know this has been discussed before, but I thought the Junior Seau at FB was a half-decent idea (or maybe just a garbage time deal) until this week. Watching Morris cut back for the TD from the 6 on 4th and 1 makes it obvious that he's the best short-yardage back (with Evans in front of him).

Has anyone seen or heard any reason why Evans has gotten the call in short yardage? It just doesn't seem to be the best lineup possible. I wish someone would ask BB about it.

I agree...but I did read somewhere that on goal line situations, the Pats had more linebackers on the field on O than the Bengals did on D. Got a chuckle out of that.
