Jump On The Mike Evans Train
August 20th, 2020
“All aboard!”
Joe has maintained that Bucs receiver Mike Evans is on a Hall of Fame path.
Too bad he’s not a burner like some and has yet to take a snap in a playoff game otherwise his street cred would be right up there with DeAndre Hopkins, Michael Thomas and Julio Jones.
Well, one popular national sports TV and radio personality thinks it is time for America to embrace the next coming of Jones.
That would be Evans.
Adam Schein, host of “Schein on Sports,” heard weekdays on SiriusXM Radio and weeknights hosting “Time to Schein” on CBS Sports Network, has built a bandwagon for the star Bucs receiver and he’s inviting one and all to climb on.
And Schein has a message for Jones: Move over. Make room for the new boss.
“I really think Mike Evans is going to be entrenched as the go-to guy,” Schein said. “The Bucs have real Super Bowl potential. And I mean it: He is going to turn into Julio Jones with the size, the speed, the hands. This cat is an absolute freak.”
Evans is one of the best receivers Joe has ever seen with his footwork along the sidelines. It’s extraordinary and sometimes reminds Joe of Lynn Swann.
Joe vividly remembers a dumb@ss who came after Joe on this very site unloading on Joe for marveling at Evans’ footwork saying, “Who the hell cares about footwork?” Joe responded that if Evans was instead stepping out of bounds after his excellent catches along the sidelines, then he and thousands of Bucs fans sure as hell would care.
As accurate as park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring Bucs quarterback Tom Brady is, Joe thinks it is fair to expect Evans will have more YAC this year (yards after catch).
That’s the only thing you can nitpick Evans about in his otherwise excellent career.
See and hear Schein’s full take on Evans in the CBS Sports Network video below.

ME13 is a beast! I wouldn’t compare him to Lynn Swann, the most graceful and fluid receiver to ever play though. Now, Michael Irvin without the mouth and antics…that’s an apt comparison. Stay safe Joesph.

The numbers for Randy Moss during the famous 2007 Season.
GP – 16
Rec – 98
Yds – 1,493
Avg – 15.2
TDs – 23
That TDs number is probably unreachable, even for M1K3. Especially with all the other weapons in this offense.

@Jaymiss – Yes, Lynn Swann was the most graceful and fluid receiver of all time. Does anyone notice that he “seems” to follow the Bucs, but the lower third graphic reads “The Bucks…” SMH. Maybe after this year people will really pay attention. Come one, come all, jump on the BUCS train. God Bless America and God Bless the Bucs!

I would bet that Schein has nothing to do with the graphics on the screen.

The graphics on the screen is referring to the Milwaukee Bucks of the NBA. They lost to the Orlando Magic the day before.

Disagree with no being a burner. He has almost 2 THOUSAND more yards receiving than the alleged best receiver in football (Michael Thomas), more touchdowns and obviously a MUCH higher yards per catch. This has not been talked about enough, if at all. Watch highlights of him running AWAY from Lattimore on a go-route. He is faster and much bigger than DeAndre Hopkins. He has a higher yards per catch average than Tyreek freaking Hill, maybe the fastest human to ever play football. You look at the year over year numbers, only Julio Jones stands out more, frankly Mike Evans doesn’t get near enough credit for being the complete package

Absolutely, positively, DREAMY.

Tecmo Bowl numbers (ya I know me saying that is getting old even to me, but it’s what I played and I was damn good too 😜) for Mike this year. I know he didn’t run that fast at the combine (4.53), but he still averages more yards per catch than all of the lesser players ranked ahead of him (yup, even Ira’s boy Tyreek). I hope y’all are right about him finally getting the credit he is due if we make the postseason this year, because he deserves it and is way past due. Thanks for the video.

40 time means jack crap as a sprinter. That’s just getting started. A mans race is the 100m. Usain Bolt ran mid 4.3 during his world record run. Football players train for mths and mths for this super niche run for the combine to maximize their draft value and a moderately fast guy can shave a few tenths off of he has perfect technique with his get off – which by the way is a very nuanced process r those that never ran track. In any case not a true, and ultimate measure of speed. So sick and tired of a dumb ass 40 being referenced like it means anything. Justin Gatlin is another guy that runs a 4.3, but you better damn well believe, he would devour and mangle anyone in a real sprint

So sorry, ME13 is the man and I’ve always thought so, but he definitely ain’t no Randy Moss! Julio is pretty unique as well.
August 20th, 2020 at 9:28 pm
He doesn’t have the same speed or dynamic ability after the catch as those 2 did…
BUT- he’s about to have the best QB he’s ever played with throwing him the ball. So, who knows what he might add to his game this year?

Absolutely. 1000 yards every single year and he is going on his fourth quarterback I believe.
1000 yards every single year and he is going on his fourth quarterback I believe.The YAC is something I have thought about too.
So many times on the deep ball he has to stop and leap over defender or going across the middle he has a slow for the ball or go low or behind him or go up for it. JW was just not very accurate.
That adds up over the course of a game

I have no issue with the use of the word in that regard, nor does the Golden God Of Dictionaries, Merrian Webster. From their website, examples of organic used in a sentence;
“He thinks of the city not as a collection of different neighborhoods but as an organic whole.”
“This neighborhood is an organic part of the city.”
