Evans

I think we also proved (again) that we have too many weapons and there is no way to beat us by keying on just one aspect and hope that the others don't work. La could be the toughest remaining opponent on our schedule and we really beat them pretty good. I still believe that we could have scored at least one more TD but a win is a win.

This is it in a nutshell...opposing defensive coordinators must hate trying to game plan us.

Why was Evans being stopped at the line so much last night? He didn't seem to have his usual explosive game. Were they keying on him?

They pretty much stacked the box with 8 man fronts the entire game. Drink has fallen in love with controlling the clock (rightfully so, i guess) and he decided that as long as we were getting 3+ yards a clip, he could control the coverages and clock. We rotated 4 RBs the entire game, which told me Drinks plan was to "Floyd Mayweather" UL to death last night. As I referenced in another thread, we had plenty of things open with the way they sold out on Evans and Henni, Drink just kept jabbing with the run game.

I've heard that Drink has an obsession with Belichick, and im starting to see the parallels, on and off the field. He knew he had single coverage opportunities all game with Sutton and he didnt pull that spade out until the moment he needed it. Somebody referenced that they shouldnt have counted on getting a PI on that moment, but the reality is Sutton is either going to catch that, he is going to get a PI, or Zac is going to make a bad throw. Drink had set it up the whole drive and played the percentages knowing that Corey would do his part. The only gamble was if Zac would throw a catch-able ball.

One huge difference between the two is that Drink clearly enjoys talking to the media and Bill hates it. I'm still waiting on him to unleash Sutton. When you have a guy like Sutton you need to throw some balls that are either going to be a catch or get PI sometimes.
