Yea it is kind of interesting. I think Willis has shown well enough in the run game too that he could start. I think some of the injuries and the fact he has been able to rush decently from inside saved Johnson for the year.
As for Evans the staff really liked him and he has shown so far to have a good nose for getting to the right spot. I think sometimes people discount him because of where he was drafted, but it is not unusual for 4-3 OLB to come out of the mid to late rounds because of the value teams put on the position in the grand scheme of things.
