Undrafted. Looked like shit in preseason game action. Looks like shit in regular season game action. But Marv coached his dad. And he is one of those good locker room guys Marv keeps around because when building a football team sometimes marv just doesnt consider football talent for certain guys.

Anywho. That guy who looked like a stud in preseason action. Jordan Evans made a nice TFL today. Glad to see Marv keeping the fast talented player who continues to flash in limited opportunities buried on a thin LB depth chart.

Good call marv. Your eye for LB talent is lazy and mostly blind.

Jordan Evans, like Jordan Willis. and John Ross will not be given a shot over veteran turds until Marv is here.  It is puzzling why Mixon and Lawson got opportunities over the established.  The guys they replaced were awful, but I think our current crop of receiving threats really needs Ross, Core, and Malone out there.  The DE spot occupied by the slow, plodding MJ should be a rotation of Willis and Lawson.  MJ actually looks good as the rotational DT, and that would be a great way to minimize his snaps to allow him to play harder when he is in there (the king of taking plays off).

What pisses me off to no end is that next year, we will be saying things like "well, if Ross, Malone, or Core develop" because they will not have been given the opportunity to play this year.  At least the next coach will come in (I'm hoping) without preconceived opinions of them and hold them out for dumbass reasons like Marv.
