I've been commenting on Evans looking lost out there since Lowery's injury vs. Seattle.   While I fully expected the rookie to slowly grow into his role - he hasn't yet  - and  it appears he'll have to prove himself worthy of the opportunity to do so. 

 

Bradley comments on it in his presser here:

I'm no Evans hater - but I did resent his attempt at "swagger" when he was so frequently a day late and a dollar short in coverage.  Combine that with an uptick in missed tackles and  -  enter Winston Guy.  Perhaps threatening his starting role will spark the rookie to focus a bit more on tackling rather than taunting.  I  just hope one of them rises to the occasion.

DiRocco:

Quote:Bradley also announced three lineup tweaks: Winston Guy will get reps at free safety, and cornerback Dwayne Gratz will return to the starting lineup for the first time since the season opener. 

Guy, a second-year player whom the Jaguars claimed off waivers from Seattle on Sept. 1, has played just four snaps on defense this season. Rookie Josh Evans has played every snap there since joining the lineup in Week 3 after Dwight Lowery suffered a concussion. 

Evans has made 31 tackles, but has just one pass breakup and has struggled with bad angles and missed tackles. 

"He [Guy] has shown more consistency, and we just felt like at the free safety spot we just needed to increase that level of play so we’re competing there," Bradley said. "I think it’ll re-direct his [Evans] attention to the competition part of it, and if that’s what he needs to help be focused, then we’ll do that."
