Re: RUMOR: Pats sign Sammy Morris??
As a short yardage/goalline back, Evans isn't a pile driver, and if there is a hole somewhere else he doesn't have the quickness to change direction and hit it. He's strictly a straight ahead runner, and doesn't have the power to push ahead like a guy like Bettis did (giving the most obvious example). His strength is in his versatility. I like Evans alot, but a guy who's a running back and can be a threat in multiple ways is much better as a short yardage back than Evans. That said, Sammy Morris is going to be in a battle to make this team if the Patriots bring in a RB in the draft.
