JRob/Vrabel are going to have to admit defeat with Rashaan Evans being an NFL ILB he simply doesn't have the instincts to properly fill run holes is also an absolute abomination in coverage and for th

If he doesn't fix the defense it will cost him his job eventually 

False   Evans is a stud, but yes he is having a down year. The whole defense is. Landry having a down year. Byard looks like JAG. Clowney, Jones, Vaccaro, etc all have regressed.    I pr

Long is our best LB.

We should retain Brown for the pass LB and keep long for the MLB. Evans should be moved to OLB and we go heavy on Edge and rushers in FA/Draft. We can grab a mid round ILB with some versatility skewed towards the pass to back up and Evans can fill in at ILB in a pinch

Evans has to be one of the make frustrating players to watch. All the athletic ability but no instincts at all and does not have very high IQ with regards to recognizing and diagnosing plays.

 

Would love to move on from him, but don’t know how realistic that is. They assuredly will decline his upcoming 5th year option meaning 2021 would be the last year of his deal anyway. 
 

If they do look to trade him the Darron Lee and Reggie Ragland trades are the one that probably bear the most in common. 
 

In the 2019 off-season, the Jets traded ILB Darron Lee (formerly 20th overall pick in the 2016 draft) to the Chiefs for a 2020 6th Round Pick.

 

In the 2017 off-season, the Bulls traded ILB Reggie Ragland (41st overall in the 201t draft) to the Chiefs for 2019 4th Round Pick. 
 

So you most likely are looking at a 5th or 6th round pick for Evans if we were to trade him. And with Brown likely gone I don’t know how willing they’ll be to create two holes. Although Evans presence alone creates a huge issue. It will definitely be interesting to see what they do. Hopefully they wisen up.

This board loved him after last year. 
 

Relax. He is fine and will be a starter here for a long time. 

Even last year, I constantly pointed out how inconsistent he was and how many huge running lanes his guessing was creating. Don't pretend this is something new. The only difference this year is that he's making less wow plays (aside from the goal line) to balance out the terrible ones. Maybe a different DC/scheme helps but he's been shockingly bad this season.
