“So We Was Just Winging It Sunday”

September 26th, 2015

MikeEvans2Now here’s a good reason why the Buccaneers offense should look a lot different in Houston on Sunday.

Mike Evans might have returned to the lineup with a healing hamstring against the Saints, but he wasn’t really 100 percent back.

Not only was Evans only playing two-thirds of the snaps, there was no game plan for utilizing the Bucs’ most dangerous receiving weapon.

“You know, I’m in the game plan now,” Evans said of preparing for the Texans this week. “Last week, I wasn’t even in the game plan. Yeah, we didn’t know if I was playing our not. So we was just winging it Sunday.”

That’s a telling nugget there. First, it shows how Evans’ hamstring really wasn’t in good shape leading up to the Saints game. Second, it lets you know how a seasoned coordinator like Dirk Koetter has no problem adjusting on the fly. Third, look how comfortable Jameis Winston was “winging it” on the road — in his second career game.

Joe suspects Marcus Arroyo would have crumbled, and Josh McCown would have cried.

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen ME13 make a catch in a game……looking forward to some success Sun.

    This is a blunder on the Bucs! Not in the game plan? What if we had lost the Saints game? To me this is inexcusable, they knew he might play in that game. To me there’s no real for your best WR not to be in the game plan, practice or not! Go Bucs!

  4. Buccfan37 Says:

    I also want to see Evans catch some passes without further injury. I can’t recall him making any catches in the Titans loss either. He may of missed that game, doh. The Bucs major receiving weapon is sorely missed.

  5. Bucco Brice Says:

    Lots of Martin and play action is the way to go….all season!

    Hoping he finally shows up catchless mike evans.

    Buc anthem. Ouch!
    This kid can ball and I think the Texans know this. One of my favorite players. Note to Jameis. Throw him the ball on single coverage. He will always be open

  10. Bird Says:

    He s got Ronald McDonald fake huge hands with those gloves on

    Josh only cries because he feels the fans pain.

    Funny post!!!!

  14. Buc1987 Says:

    Some fans are just jackasses. The dude has had a hampered hamstring for like 6 weeks now. He didn’t catch a ball in 2 meaningless preseason games and that gets some fans thinking he’s a one year wonder or he needs to put up or shut up.

    I swear this kind of STUPID talk only happens in the TB area. Or is it just bitching to bitch? I think perhaps it’s just that.

    When you become a Buc fan they should send you Bitch Card with your very first ticket purchase, just to make it official.

  15. Buc1987 Says:

    Start running your mouths about Evans poor play if it’s happening in say MIDSEASON!!!!!!

  16. Drywaller Buc Says:

    Evans is a stud! Why u guys talking that garbage? Support your team!!

  17. Supersam Says:

    “Look how comfortable Jameis Winston looked winging it”- Joeseph. Um…. Mike Evans had zero catches, I wouldnt consider that comfortable at all.

  18. Supersam Says:

    Pretty sure I saw Winston get all teary eyed over talking about his grandma at the podium, you gonna bash him for that Joeseph?

  19. Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun. Says:

    Mike a beast simple and plain nothing has changed,I can be seen in my Evans jersey tomorrow at Ale house really early. Just wait on it.

  20. Buc1987 Says:

    Supersam is right Joe.

    No one cries about their grandmothers, most NFL QB’s cry over football games though. Gee Wally why are you giving McCown such a hard time?

    We’ll see how important McCoy is tomorrow…since he is doubtful.

  22. Trubucfan22 Says:

    Now if evans can just finish a route and stay in bounds, he might be ready to dominate again.

    I Love what evans can bring to this team. But he does get lazy from time to time. And he is constantly looking for a flag. It seems every pass thrown his way he is looking for a flag. He needs to man up and fight through contact. The bucs cant afford to trust a ref to make a call in favor of us. It just doesn’t happen.

    Dumbest comment ever on JBF and that’s saying a lot.

  24. DB55 Says:

    You guys know darn well McCoy isn’t going to play. If that dude gets a paper cut he’s out for 4-6 weeks. Truthfully I think McDonald and Melton will do just fine. Oh and btw I found it interesting that Jac Smith got his last sack in the 4th while McCoy was out of the game. According to the expert Smith is only good bc of the magnificence of McCoy. The experts must have forgot to tell the rest of the dline. McDonald is the real leader of the dline and the team knows it. Remember the captains vote was real close? Translation McCoy lost the vote to Micky D.

    @Joe

    Here’s a good little nugget, Mike Evans lied when he said he was “100%”.

  26. James Walker Says:

    He is hamstring injury prone. Was in college and in the pros. You cannot be great if you don’t play.

  27. THETRUTH Says:

    He didn’t say they winged the the entire plan. He said him being I there he was winging it. A decoy !!!!!

    Typical dumb fan complaining like this guy has done nothing. He has been injured. And coming off a 1000yr season. Give us break and enough with McCoy bash dude is top 2 in his position. Buc fans wanna complain. NFL people and peers rate him the great.

    That’s why they have nfl jobs to evaluate and the fans don’t.
