Perine is a good back, not being able to beat out Perine isn’t a slight on him.
I think he’s a player who would probably contribute if thrown in the fire but he’s not good enough to demand PT. It’s probably his blocking. It sux too when your best attribute overlaps with what others already do on the team. He’s a great WR/HB guy. But Mixon has pretty good hands out the backfield and we’ve got 3 WRs that eat up all the receptions.
There’s just no where to squeeze him in at if he’s not going to block well in pass pro.
Do i think he’d go to another team and probably ball out…yep.
Do i think he’s Lesean McCoy on the low and we are idiots for not playing him? No
To add the only role i can realistically put him in at is occasional WR in those 5 wide sets if Mixon is banged up. If Mixon is healthy Evans just has no role imo.
If Mixon were to get hurt then at least we still have a very talented pass catcher to put in those sets while we let Perine be the tank
