Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have given this a lot of thought, and at this moment I believe Lee Evans is the most irreplaceable player on this team. If there was one person that we could not lose right now for an entire season, is Evans. Now, I am big on strong offensive line play. I don't even necessarily believe we have to re-sign Evans in the offseason. But in terms of what we're going to do this season, I think it would absolutely crush us to lose him. If Kirk Chambers had to replace Jason Peters, that would be terrible. However, I feel like even a below average left tackle to replace him would allow us to occasionally do something. If Lee Evans went down, we would be stuck with a guy that can't get off the line of scrimmage (Parrish), a mediocre possession receiver (Reed), and a rookie wide receiver (Hardy). Our offense would not be able to run the ball with defenses constantly putting 8 men in the box, and our passing game would be even less effective than last year. I don't expect Evans to put up big numbers this year. Maybe only 70 catches. But his threat - I believe - is the most important part of this team right now. Next year I might say Peters after a year of seasoning for Hardy. But not right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Lindell, followed by Moorman and the long snapper. If you can't kick effectively, you are 53 pieces of toast residing on the same plate that holds the other non-playoff clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make the claim that Parrish fits that bill (maybe two inches shorter and ten pounds lighter), but you can't say he would be able to effectively replace Evans.

What a laugh we are atleast three years away from losing this guy, he has three years left on his contract to play hardball, he was an undrafted free agent what 3-4 years ago now he makes like 4 million a year, i am sorry i don't feel sorry for the guy!

Dan Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Definitely Peters. He' so good we should renegotiate his contract every year to make sure he is the highest paid player in the league every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
