Is it just me or is he being all but ignored? The Colts are sure as hell going to come after us w/Dallas Clark so I think we should to the same.

Que? More rushing plays? More recieving plays? How is Evans comparable to Clark? Are they the same number? Im confuszzed.

Let his wife do it. On the football field, he's Mr. 1.8 ypc.

Clark is a tight end / slot hybrid.

What the hell does Evans have to do with anything? Pretty sure giving evans more touches in the colts game would = no running game.

I'd give Kyle Eckel more touches than Heath Evans, and I don't want him to see the ball that often either.

Heath actually has decent hands and is a surprise threat to catch out of the backfield. Didn't he just do that at least once last week? He's got a nice feel for the route to the flat, and he has surprising speed for a big man once he catches the ball. He's obviously good in short yardage when you're missing Sammy.

Is he a better deal than Eckyl? I think at that level (second tier) it really doesn't matter who gets the touches.

Maybe the OP meant that we should use a surprise weapon on the Colts, but if so, I'd rather see Chad Jackson get the touches.

Actually, I'd like to see Logan Mankins raise his ypc up a little from negative 9 to around zero. Right? Am I right? You get a nine yard catch from Logan at the eight yard line of the Colts and what do you have? SIX POINTS from the best receiver on the field.

Couldn't disagree more. I cringe every time Evans touches the football.

Evans' versatility is useful and all, but this seems like an odd thread to me.

Actually, he's obviously not good in short yardage situations....have you been watching Pats games this season? Evans might be a big guy, but he isn't running with the power of a big back.

When it comes to receptions out of the backfield I'd give him one or two shots a game, but if we're talking about running the ball (especially in short yardage) I'm giving the ball to Eckel first. Also, Faulk is a much better receiving option, and Maroney can catch the ball too (22 receptions in 2006). Maroney's been open a few times out of the backfield this season, but there's usually also someone else open. I would like to see NE get them a little more involved in the passing game though.
