I think it's much more telling that Evan's looked to Dre with his hands in the air then turning and looking at Fej if it was his fault. You can clearly see in the replay that Evan's breaks off from Ebrons hip right when Dre turns to run with Ebron. Dre then stops running with Ebron but it was already too late for Evans to get back in position.
I'm going off a relatively good understanding of actual football concepts. I think the look to Dre was because he thought he was going to help, not that he should have helped, which is different. There is confusion no doubt but the issue is if Dre were to carry Evans guy while Evans continued to trail then you have no one on Hines back at the LOS. I think Dre screwed Evans up by acting like he was going to run with him only to remember he has to stay with Hines in the flat. If it was truly a pass off I would have expected Evans to drift to the sideline more, but instead it looks like he was walling off Ebron in a trail man technique. That stutter from Dre though caused Evans to let up, but I still think watching the 22 based on what happened on the other side Fej should have had depth rather than jumping right on the inside guy.
You are right in saying it's tough to say what happened, but saying it's all a guess based on nothing is false. To be fair that is same thing PFF does as well whenever they watch tape as knowing the calls in specific cases are tough. All you can do is go off general concepts. Something weird is it doesn't look like PFF assigned the TD to Kirkpatrick or Fej, but instead to Evans which I don't believe is the right call either. Morale of the story football is really complex lol.
Side note: You added the link but I have all 22 so I get the overhead view which is really awesome for anyone who likes to look at things from above.
