I’ve mentioned this several times. JMO is that Evans does not replace Perine because he doesn’t fit what Samaje brings. Evans is not experienced in pass pro or a tough inside runner. Samaje regardless what people think is the best pass blocker ( includes the mental aspect) and the best in short yardage. He’s strong and doesn’t give up on the play. He also spells Mixon on third down and long because they aren’t throwing it to the running back unless he’s the last option. Perine also plays on every special team and Simmons loves him. But… I I’d like to see more of Evans too. But what they should do is give Evans a series or two each half and have Mixon play more on short yardage and all third downs. So Evans spells Mixon
every now and then and Mixon goes in for Evans on all third downs.
