The competition will be that final position player backup spot - TE5, RB4, WR6.
Personally, if McLachlan can show enough to make the team, I'm perfectly ok seeing Chris Evans not on the 53.
I think all of Iosivas, Burton, Irwin, and Jones make the roster.
Jones can do what Evans does in the return game while also giving more hope from an offensive contribution standpoint.
Not saying Jones has shown a ton, but Evans has been with the team for 3 seasons and offered up just 49 yards from scrimmage the past 2.
I'd rather give the benefit of the doubt to the unknown in Jones if it comes down to it.
I know we liked what Hudson did for us last year, but he has some age to him which is why I think he will be the odd man out if both
EA and McLachlan are healthy to start the season. Maybe we can put one of these guys on the PS though, we will see. Listing Drew Sample
as a FB should also be in the cards.
Completely agree on cutting Evans and keeping Charlie Jones. No way we cut Jones.
