“It Hurt Seeing Your Team Out There Fighting”
November 22nd, 2024
Mike Evans speaks.
Mike Evans is a confident guy after training hard the past two weeks, so he said after practice today at One Buc Palace.
“I feel really good,” Evans said. “Obviously, the bye week helped. But I feel better than I did going into the Ravens game, so that’s a good thing.”
Evans added of the Ravens game in which he blew out his hamstring on a dropped touchdown pass, “I probably should have sat that one out.”
That was Oct. 21. Evans hasn’t played since. He’s expected to play Sunday in New Jersey against the Giants. Evans said it was rough being a spectator.
“It hurt seeing your team out there fighting really tough close games that they could have won and I wished I could be out there to help them,” he said. “So, you know, I’m excited to be back.”
Joe was pleased to hear Evans say how hard he’s been running the past couple of weeks with teammate Jamel Dean, who also was in hamstring recovery. Dean will start at cornerback Sunday after returning from the injured reserve list.
Evans said all that work has given him a lot of confidence.
Unfortunately, Joe didn’t hear Evans say, “I’m 100 percent.”

We need you Mike

He should get hot wraps on the hammy between series to keep it hot and loose. Hopefully we get a big early lead and Mike sits early to protect the hammy.

Very excited to hear Mike is feeling stronger. It also sounds great that he was running with Dean too.

ME13 sat on the sidelines injured, and watched the cheap shot that ended CG14’s season. These two guys are buds as well as fellow players. Coen has to step up now. He’s had enough time to figure out the talent on this Offense.

Come bro sit 1 more game to make sure that hammy is full healed. Makes no sense to go out and hurt it again if your not fully healed and miss the rest of the season.

Translation – it hurts watching the defense suck so hard.

The defense of Algo Rhythm is impressive. The Bucs could use such a defender, very lucky the world is protected by such defense.

He’s being selfish. He should sit one more week
