McVay protects Evants a lot:
Evans was rarely left alone in any game in a 1 on 1 matchup with a 5-7 step drop. McVay has slid
protection so much, you rarely get a glimpse of what he has.
The few times he was left in a 1 on 1 with 7 step drop, he didn't look that good--not nearly
as good as Hav looked in 2018. The Rams need him to be 'that' good to be the starting RT.
So, it is great to have Evan's 'health' and tough attititude, but he is no run blocking up grade, as
Hav was great, and he certainly doesn't have very good pass pro technique either---and lost the edge
way too many times already in his 4 (or so) starts.
I watch every snap over and over until I 'get' what Evans is doing---I am very confident with
my assessment--and won't listen to PFF-talk or any of that crap. He is not as good, not close,
as Hav was in 2018. Have will be back in 2020 as a starter. Evans will be a great guard.
Evans has a bright future in the NFL--as a RT maybe, as a guard yes. He has toughness,
and long arms for a guard and that can not be coached.
And Hav wasn't that good in 2016. I defended him then, and said he could improve. A lot of people scoffed at that. I say the same about Evans now. Hav in 2016 wasn't all that Hav could be, and I think the same about Evans. We'll see,
Hav btw had fallen off as a run blocker in 2019. And the numbers have improved running over right tackle since then.
