Evans has back issues...continually nagging problem (trust me, firsthand experience). Back issues are day-to-day, plus he missed a lot of preseason snaps and some practices. He may be catching up with true game speed, too. Uncharacteristic holding calls and Payton not running behind him in crunch time are due to the back issue and to his game speed adjustment. That's my opinion as I have yet to play an NFL snap, but his injury and adjustment period is throwing off the entire stability of the line in pass protection AND the running game.
