Evans handled kickoffs before the rule change, when kicking it into the stands for a 20-yard touchback was a safe play against teams that might run it back for more yards, given our slipshod coverage.
The new rule, and Karty's pooch kick ability, changed everything. His one-time failure to land a kick in the drop zone happened at an unfortunate time; I think it was intended to land awfully close, get fumbled, and lead to a Ram recovery - a re-invention of the onside kick.
