Prediction: Heath Evans Will Return to Saints
by Andrew Juge on Aug 2, 2011 9:00 AM CDT
Email
PrintThere's been a lot of chatter lately that the signing of free agent veteran fullback Korey Hall would mean the end of Heath Evans' tenure with the Saints. Hall is a converted linebacker that excels on special teams and many suggest his "jack of all trades" ability trumps what Evans can do well in one area.
Personally, I haven't seen Hall play much, but I also know he hasn't been a starter in the NFL. The Saints are devoid of any likely solution behind Hall, with Jed Collins and Kolby Hurt competing for the job. Who? Yeah, exactly. And before any of you suggest David Thomas is the solution, that's not his position. He's played there in a pinch, but if he's going to be the No. 2 tight end this year that's what he needs to be focused on, assuming the Saints even re-sign him.
With all this said, I firmly believe Heath Evans will be signing with the Saints in short order and will be back as the Saints starting fullback. Why? Because the competition he had in camp last year was even more significant.
Doesn't Hall sound an awful lot like Zak Keasey? Keasey was a veteran backup that played with the 49ers, and the Saints loved him. He did a terrific job in camp last year, was versatile, and, wait for it... he excelled on special teams.It was rumored that Keasey was the very last guy cut to make a 53-man roster last year. Did he beat out a bum knee Heath Evans for a roster spot at the time? No.
The Saints also carried Jason McKie along. McKie was a proven NFL starter that was purely a blocker, but again, even that competition wasn't enough to take away a roster spot from Heath Evans coming off massive knee surgery. My point is: Evans' knee is a year further along and the competition this year isn't as stiff as it was previously.
Furthermore, Evans' locker room presence is just too valuable. With no real veteran presence among the backs besides Pierre Thomas, the Saints need Evans as a good influence on the young stable of runners they have. Evans is battle tested, very high character, a vocal leader and the kind of guy you need around your team. Not to mention, there's already continuity there based on all the reps Evans took with the team this summer. That's right, he was at every single player organized practice. He's completely committed to the organization. Sean Payton knows that, and he's not about to let him slip in favor of a guy that has "special teams value." If that was the case, Zak Keasey would have been the Saints starter a year ago.
I write this to you guys on Tuesday morning, so for the record, if he signs Tuesday evening, don't say I didn't call it. Hardly a bold prediction I guess, but I did feel the need to express it given the talk by many that the Saints were moving on at fullback. Mark my words: Heath Evans will be re-signed and he'll be the starter at fullback come Week 1 against the Packers.
Do you agree?

Doesn’t Hall sound an awful lot like Zak Keasey?
Keasey started a grand total of 3 games in his NFL career. Hall has started 26.
The Saints also carried Jason McKie along.
Hall is considerably is younger than either McKie or Evans.
Personally, I haven’t seen Hall play much, but I also know he hasn’t been a starter in the NFL.
Again, he’s started 26 games.
Personally, I haven’t seen Hall play much
Your article should have probably ended here.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
you probably shouldn't be reading.
I thought Quinn Johnson was the starter for the Packers at fullback. Am I missing something?
Evidently, if you think Hall hasn’t been a starter in the NFL.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
FB and HB aren’t the same position in terms of football life expectancy, just as featured back and return specialist aren’t.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
you mean return specialist who call fair catches on kickoffs?
by waving a fair catch signal and then kneeling (not that they have to by rule, mind you, just for fun)
so he's started barely over 50% of games played and has never played 16 games
Sounds like backup material to me. Keasey was special teams capable (much like what Hall is being praised for) and McKie had way more experience as a full time starter. So maybe Hall is a combination of the two minus the experience. Again, my main point is Evans beat out McKie & Keasey recovering from a torn ACL. He is not struggling with that anymore (at least nowhere near as much).
Evans is a horrendous lead blocker. That’s the primary function of a FB in this offense. What more needs to be said beyond that? Maybe this … he’s been replaced. Let it go, Andy. Let it go.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
we'll see. the offseason/signings are far from over.
As far as him being a “horrendous lead blocker”, I couldn’t disagree more. In fact, he was an excellent lead blocker prior to the knee injury. Last year he struggled recovering from that injury and surgery. I don’t think you can assume that he would necessarily be the same or worse this upcoming season. In fact, I think it’s a safe assumption that if he stays healthy he would play/block better.
He was never an excellent lead blocker. He was average. If he was excellent, the Patriots wouldn’t have decided to abandon the position.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
the fullback position is becoming absolute across the league
that has nothing to do with Heath Evans’ abilities as a blocker in his prime and everything to do with the direction of the NFL as a league. With QB’s and WR’s more protected than ever, it’s more of a passing man’s league than ever, hence why you see less fullbacks.
Obsolete as in all 32 teams currently have at least one on their roster? Or are you going by some other definition?
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
obsolete in that the number of fullbacks on active rosters over the last 10 years
has decreased significantly.

Disagree completely.
I think the Saints want to move to a cheaper, younger, blocking back. FB is just not a position that is of a big enough need that the Saints are going to pay a veteran for.
Canal Street Chronicles-A place of great Saints news and information. Oh and the stuff I write!
"I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...Rapture!"
Evans’ locker room presence is just too valuable.
So was Fred McAfee’s. Gotta hate it when age and “not contributing a lick on offense” start to creep into the equation.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
terrible example
McAfee was 38 when he retired from the Saints. Heath Evans is 32. I think we can all agree McAfee left the Saints’ roster long past his prime and he lasted that long simply because of his impact on the sidelines.
I didn’t say they were the same age. They’re both long past their prime.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
ps "Gotta hate it when age and "not contributing a lick on offense" start to creep into the equation."
Hate to break it to you but in his last 7 years with the Saints (that’s right, count it, 7 seasons) I don’t think McAfee saw one snap on offense in a regular season game. I certainly wasn’t many if I’m wrong.
comparing a 38 yo with a 32 yo isn't the same
McAfee at 38 could barely cut it on special teams. Evans is still a starting quality fullback. No comparison. The last 10 years in the NFL McAfee was a gunner only, and his role as a running back was abandoned entirely. Again, your example was terrible.
Evans is still a starting quality fullback.
He’s nothing of the sort. He’s an UFA journeyman FB that no team currently wants.

are you privy to the offers being made to him?
didn’t think so. He’s been a starter for 11 straight seasons, his entire career. Let’s be realistic here please.
You need to check your facts. He’s only been a professional player 10 seasons. He didn’t start a single game in 2001, 2003 or 2004 with Seattle. He started 1 game in three other seasons. Last season was his highwater mark. 6 whopping starts. He’s a journeyman FB who’s past his prime. No more, no less.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
what are you talking about?
You are looking at NFL.com stats, aren’t you. Those numbers are incorrect. He was a starter his rookie year dude. He started every game for us last year at fullback. Maybe he wasn’t on the field for the first play, so maybe that’s their definition of starter? I don’t know? It says he started 6 out of 16 games last year. You and I both know that’s not true. Who started at fullback over him, then?
Maybe he wasn’t on the field for the first play, so maybe that’s their definition of starter?
Uhhhhhh, yeah? What other definition of a starter is there?
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
Saints run all sorts of sets
Come on, do I really have to explain this to you? If the first play is a 4 receiver set, does that mean that Jeremy Shockey isn’t a starter and Robert Meachem is? Come on.
I know its late but this was funny as hell!
Uhhhhhh, yeah? What other definition of a starter is there?
In the words of Michael on that 70’s show “BURN!”
What in the HELL just happened!?
he was a starter his entire time in Seattle
ask any Seahawk fan. I’m not sure how those #’s are defined but he was their starting fullback
Jesus Christ. Mack Strong was the starting FB for all but one game during Evans’s time there. Strong is in their Ring of Fame or whatever they call it. He’s arguably amongst the top 5 blocking FBs of his era. Please, please, please stick to topics of which you’re knowledgeable, if indeed such topics exist.

I’m basing them on a single facet. Both were/are well past their prime. Just like you based your Keasey/Evans and McKie/Evans comparisons on single facets that served your angle. It’s no more terrible an example than your two examples were.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
I'm sorry
but no. You can’t compare a 38 year old McAfee to a 32 year old Evans. No one will agree with you here. There is no comparison. Evans can still play FB in the NFL. McAfee was a role player that couldn’t play his original position (HB) for the last decade of his NFL career.
I said Keasey/McKie is comparable competition to Hall. I think that’s a fair assessment. You can disagree, but you can’t tell me that McAfee at 38 is the same as Evans at 32. Those two arguments are not on the same level.

"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
I agree with you on everything except...that he'll be back
The only rationale you gave for him staying-on is as a cheerleader but, as with Deuce, he doesn’t have to take-up a roster spot to motivate the players.
I think he’ll do what’s best for the team and, if he’s not able to contribute on the field, he’ll retire or ask to be cut.
Hell, with so many LBs to try, I’ll be surprised if we enter the season with a true FB on the roster, especially with Thomas and Strief as viable substitutes.
He’s a free agent. And nobody wants him.
When you say she's looking good, she acts as if it's understood
A journeyman free agent. If this was a cartoon, he would be standing on the side of the road with his gear in a handkerchief tied to the end of a stick.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
I think they’ll need one, based on their weaknesses at OT. Re-signing Strief helps and I still hope they re-sign Thomas. Possible, as both the Colts and Patriots have both gone fullbackless in the recent past, though neither is at present.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
With the signing of Sproles, and all the injuries we sustained last season, I think we’ll enter the season with 5 RBs on the active roster.
If that’s the case Hamilton is thick enough to play a few reps at FB.
5 RBs is possible, but so is 5 WRs. Honestly, I’ll be surprised if Henderson, Arrington and Roby ALL make the team. Sproles could very easily wind up stealing Roby’s roster spot. Then there’s the very real possibility of Ivory starting the season on the PUP, which doesn’t count towards the roster. Hamilton’s also on the bubble himself. No matter how you slice it, there’s still room for a true FB, if they’re so inclined to keep one.

i'd be shocked if they kept 5 active RB's on the roster
but if it was ever going to happen it would be this year after what happened last season

no beef with you, just shootin-back the sarcasm but I vehemently disagree with you-it’s a question of ethics…not all that much different than a player taking a couple million dollars less for a chance at a SB ring.
Happens all the time man, you’re just obviously not one of the ones doing it
I’m having a problem grasping this. Say the Saints sign Evans to a contract worth a few million dollars. You’re saying that a few checks into that deal if Heath doesn’t feel like he’s up to par with the contract he will ask to be cut. Did I get that right? I just dont see that happening.
So you’re saying SP is going to sign Evans “a few million dollars” just to be a cheerleader? He knows Evans’ knee and he won’t make the offer unless he knows he’ll get production.
I said if he can’t contribute on the field…that’s not to say he wouldn’t sign-on with another team if they’re willing to take the risk but look at Randy Moss…he’s retiring but could stay for at least a coiple more seasons and make a few more millions…he would also improve his HOF standing.
GW took less money to come to New Orleans and SP paid some out of his own pocket…Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Michael Jordan, the list goes on and on of players who pass on millions for various reasons when they could stay-on longer.
Hell, I’ve quit jobs because I wasn’t the rite person for the job…I could’ve stayed-on and settled for mediocrity or gotten fired but my ethics wouldn’t allow it…and I was still a young man!
I hope some light enters your world man because your perspective seems to awfully dark.
So you’re saying SP is going to sign Evans "a few million dollars" just to be a cheerleader?
Never said that and I didn’t read any further.. I don’t think the man will play another down of football for the Saints.
You posed the question if I was serious in suggesting Evans might ask to be cut or retire if he isn’t able to play.
My response is yes, I’d like to believe he wouldn’t lie about his knee to be signed-on, even for a couple of million dollars. I could be wrong but there are plenty of examples where people make ethical decisions not to deceive others for personal gain and I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt until he proves me wrong.
If I’m proven wrong I will humbly admit you were rite…if I’m rite you won’t have to, just let a little light into your world.
I’d like to believe he wouldn’t lie about his knee to be signed-on, even for a couple of million dollars.
I agree with this statement. I must have misinterpreted what you were saying. The point I was making is that IF the Saints happened to sign him to a contract that he would not ask them to be cut a few weeks later. Am I not making myself clear? Too me it seems obvious that Heath would not entertain the thought of playing football if his knees were not capable of him doing so. Your point stated that once he was resigned if he felt he was not good enough he would renig on the contract. I must be missing something. I dont understand how the situation could get to the point of him backing out.
he would also improve his HOF standing
I just fell off my chair. Dave, prepare the straitjacket.

Locker Room Presence 2 Names for you - Thomas and Sharper
If you want locker room presence bring those guys back.
I will see your Thomas and Sharper
and raise you a Brees and Vilma!
The only problem with having a "Dream Team" is when you wake up and find out it was a nightmare instead.

I reluctantly have to agree with this. While I have no desire to see Sharper back whatsovever, at least he plays a position that could use the depth. We’re fine with Korey Hall, imo. We could probably do better than Hall, just not with Evans.
"I was not on the boat in question" -Darren Sharper
I can agree with Sharper
We definitely need depth, and his experience with the schemes and natural ball hawking ability make him valueable, not necessarily just for his locker room presence. As far as Baconator goes, I feel that we could use his abilities back on the field. We need more depth at TE, as much as I love the thought of Strief catching a TD pass, he is not the every down TE that we need. If I was basing retention based off of locker room presence I would have kept Shockey and signed off on Thomas though.

I’d personally rather see us go singleback 2-TE before letting Evans lead block.
Reggie may not have had it Ingram, but Sproles will be just Ivory.

Did Drew Brees stop being a locker room presence when I wasn’t looking?
How many leaders do we really need? Ever heard the term, “Too many chiefs, not enough Indians?”

I like Evans, but...
he will be hurt within 2 weeks. Shouldn’t we just go ahead and let someone else get the reps during training camp?
Marv Levy, former coach of the Buffalo Bills, when asked prior to one of his Super Bowl defeats if the game was a must win:
"No. World War II was a must win."
Evans is fantastic and I love him, but...
But he is the Cam Cleeland of fullbacks. I don’t think that needs more explanation.
Didn’t you read the CCC posting rules? NO OBSCENITY! Cam Cleeland is a four letter word to me
Also obscene
Rob Kelly
Tebucky Jones
Ditka
Bill Joe Hobert
Flagged! This comment is nothing but obscene language that children should not be able to see. Shame on you, softpack.
I forgot Heath Shuler. Andrew’s post on Shuler’s awfulness is banned in 134 countries…including Chalmete
Did you also forget Steve Walsh

because you can’t mention him…double jeopardy

I’m sorry, “What is because you can’t mention him”
"I have something no one else has: my brain. Which I use to my advantage, when advantageous."
No he is mentioned...
The correct question is Who shall not be named?

Cleeland was a solid TE, when he wasn’t injured. That was just hardly ever.

I don't want to be a kiss ass, but boom rec'd it
I had him in a fantasy league. Great expectations, bitter disappointment.

Don't know if anyone's heard this...
…but NOLA.com’s reporting that Darren Sproles has been officially locked up by the Saints.
4 years, $16M total, with $6M guaranteed.

If he’s anything like Reggie, then the Saints’ chances for another Super Bowl just climbed rapidly.

I honestly don’t believe there is very much difference in bargain bin FB’s we’ve never heard of and Heath Evans. I can’t say I noticed any dramatic improvement from Mike Karney to Heath Evans. I just think what we use a FB for, we don’t need a great one.
I’d rather put the money in a back-up Center and go young with Tennant. Ravens just signed former starter Casey Rabach to back up Matt Birk. I wish we’d do something like that. Like me some Goodwin, but we have a young stud waiting in the wings. It’s rumored he’s even nastier when it comes to run blocking.

unrelated, but conflicting reports about Nick Failey. Some say xrays negative, others say he has a stress fracture and miss 4-6 weeks.

very reminiscent...
of the time we signed Chase Daniel as a back up. Fists flying over a back up QB and a FB! Anarchy!
