“The Guys That Make Plays, I Think They Should Be The Leaders”
May 5th, 2015
A very confident, relaxed Mike Evans took to the One Buc Palace podium this afternoon and had plenty to say.
Joe will bring you plenty, but first is a take on leadership by Evans.
Joe asked Evans whether he had a goal to step up and take a major leadership role this season now that he’s not a rookie.
Evans said, Yes. The 21-year-old wide receiver said he was more vocal as a leader late last season and wants to do more this year.
“The guys that make plays, I think they should be the leaders,” Evans said.
Joe agrees wholeheartedly. Evans, and Jameis Winston, are the kinds of passionate 21-year-olds Joe would like to see being heart and soul of the Bucs’ offense.

Sounds like Evans is questioning the defensive leaders to me!!!

Winston to Evans. Its going to be beautiful.
Can’t wait.

I didn’t take it that way…..I certainly think LVD & McCoy “make plays”…..I just think Evans thinks the playmakers should step up….and that includes him.
Maybe he was talking about the “Squawk”

It is very refreshing to finally have a bunch of young competent talent on this team. I feel very good about the next couple yrs and its a natural feeling not a fake “I hope we can” type of feeling.

Well LVD makes plays in the 4th quarter. Mccoy seems to disappear. Say what you want about Mccoy being a nice guy. Yes he’s great off the field. But how about he make a play to seal a game for us before we call him a leader. Talk is cheap.

So, nobody on the OL should be opening their pie-hole.

@ChanEpic..
With the exception of the “The Barbecue Master”….
If Mankins says something…the rest of the OL should listen..

God I cannot wait for this season to start

It would be great if Jameis and Evans becomes the next Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison. Dan Marino and Mark Clayton. Grow their careers together.

Of course it does BucRealist. That’s exactly what I read into the statement. too.
Also read in he wants to put the US back on the go standard, that we should move the prime lending rate up, increase the use of drone bombings and reject all diplomatic ties with Cuba.
What an idiot.

Captain cialis is going to get pushed to the side real quick. It’s a new day, he had his chance and led us to 5 win seasons. Time to let the young bucs take the lead.
Is anybody else mad that LVD still hasn’t been signed? Wtf.

Sounds good. Leadership can come from anywhere, you don’t need a “C” on your jersey to be a leader. If you have that “C” leadership will be expected, but it’s not necessary. Hopefully Evans agrees because I suspect Winston and VJax will be the captains.

I’ve been saying that ish all off season. For the life of me I can’t comprehend why the front office hasn’t locked him up yet. Its going to cost us some coins next off season to keep him

I’m thinking he doesn’t want to stay. Only logical explaination in my stupid head. Maybe getting benched last year didn’t go over too well with him. Maybe he thinks he has a better chance of winning somewhere else. Idk what to think but I don’t like it!

Jason Licht said a few months ago that he would turn his attentions to LVDs contact after the draft. Let the team sign the draft picks first… geez. It hasnt even been a week after the draft yet.

bee,
Spot on. LVD was interviewed a few weeks ago and he echoed the same thing. Neither side is worried, LVD will get extended in the coming weeks.

@EVO
I hear what your saying but I don’t put that all on GMC. The defense was on the field a lot last year. That time on the field Im sure wears on GMC more than it does LVD. You could see it GMC was gassed towards the end of games. He was leaned on a lot.
