Evans: “More Shots” Coming
September 9th, 2016
Mike Evans fingers change
Evidence keeps mounting that more homerun balls are coming to the Bucs offense.
Consider what Mike Evans told The Rich Eisen Show today. Eisen asked Evans what would be different about the offense this year, and Evans responded with ease.
“I think we’ll be more disciplined and, you know, more shots down the field,” Evans said, adding it would be more of what fans saw last year but better on third down.
As playcaller/head coach Dirk Koetter said this week that the evolution and improvement of America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, would allow for more of an “attack mode” out of the gate.
Joe shouldn’t even have to type how the Bucs are primed to go deep against a weak Atlanta pass rush on Sunday. And with a healthy Vincent Jackson restoring “calm” to the offense, per Jameis, it might make for an electric opening day.
Nothing shuts a crazy, dome-enhanced home crowd down like a quick-strike touchdown by the offense.
(Enjoy the full audio of Evans with Eisen below.)

2 days! Can’t wait! GO BUCS!!

I have Evans on my Fantasy team too. Along with Winston, Sims and the Tampa Bay defense. Took a lot of smack talk during the draft but, I said just wait. I will win this league. OH, and my team name is BUC$!

Let’s not talk about a weak anything on another team because how many times have heard that like we were supposed to feast on them like everyone else and we didn’t? Later in the year when people can’t believe their team got beat all they can say is AWWW SHUCKS IT’S THE BUCS!!!!!!

“More shots” from Winston will be most welcomed.
Mike – just don’t get into “more shots” mode with your previous QB. We all saw where that road led to. No-wheres-ville

I want Mike and Jameis to have a game like they did against the Browns. Mike should have over 150 yards and 2 TD’s by the time it’s over. I am too jacked up for this game I think, hate when this happens ’cause I am usually let down by the Bucs. We need to start the year with a win in Atlanta. Go BUCS!
September 9th, 2016 at 5:45 pm
this is Mike Evans year. He and Jameis are about to start a special run… we are so very lucky.
September 9th, 2016 at 5:48 pm
The falcons are starting a rookie mlb, I expect Koetter to attack him with the tight ends and sims. Their safeties are not great but their top two corners can play.
September 9th, 2016 at 6:04 pm
The picture looks like Evans is trying to hold hands with VJax! Lol!
September 9th, 2016 at 6:23 pm
Man congratulations to Mike! Awesome that he’s having a baby I hope it doesn’t take too much attention away from him this year though.
I think we can all expect big things out of him and hopefully next year he will be considered a top 5 wideout.
September 9th, 2016 at 6:32 pm
Attack relentlessly until it’s over please. Think Sims will shine.
September 9th, 2016 at 6:39 pm
@tmax
I agree,100 percent on this one.hope VJAX adds a thousand or more
Also.

My predictions for this game are:
W 45-10 Bucs
Jameis will have 400 yds passing
We will have (2) 100-yd receivers & 1 of them, Mike Evans, will have 200yds.
Doug Martin will have 100yds rushing
Defense will have 6 sacks and 2 Int’s

@Erik,
I hope you are right. I would definitely win my Fantasy head to head.
September 9th, 2016 at 7:06 pm
We are so very lucky? Ooooh boy. We had them both last year as well. How did that go? 6-10
September 9th, 2016 at 7:33 pm
Been trying to figure out who’s name poor Glennon used to post under…
September 9th, 2016 at 7:33 pm
ME13 sounds focused… All business indeed. Go Bucs!
September 9th, 2016 at 7:35 pm
Lol, love the bucs and the optimism of a new season. Eric you better take it easy man, don’t want to see you jumping off the skyway Sunday night….
gonna be a tough game , I think we are evenly matched. I’m looking at a 24-21 type outcome. Not sure who wins.
Go bucs
September 9th, 2016 at 7:46 pm
How is it possible one can look at these two roster’s and come away with evenly matched. Our defense alone has 4 pro bowlers. And E that sounds about right to me. Sunday these none believers gone see what me and you been saying.

Nothing will make you mature faster than a wife and a baby girl at home. Congratulations Mike, blessings.

Evans can be so good he can make it look easy,in week 17 at Carolina Evans was so wide open on the four strikes for 99 yards several defenders were around him but they couldn’t stop him.The only stop Josh norman had is when he pushed Evans out of the endzone.oh and Jameis put one in Norman hands and he dropped it.Atlanta doesn’t have the D. Carolina has and can’t surround Evans because we have other targets in VJAX,sims,brate and ASJ.llets hang 35 points on Atlanta for Koetter and Smith just for the fun of it.
September 9th, 2016 at 9:38 pm
To quote Herm Edwards: You play to win the game.Think we finally have coaches that believe in that philosophy. players finally have something to buy into.

That’s right Mike Evans..Mo Shots comin your way..Don’t f’em up like you have..when we needed you. Up your game dude. I/m sick of this..Coulda/woulda/Shoulda BS!!
BUCS NEED BALLERS. Winning is all that matters..The Great…Vince Lombardi.
September 9th, 2016 at 11:47 pm
I’m with you STRIDER… All these months of waiting, blogging, fantasy drafting and trash talking so I can come home at Eleven and watch the recording. No way I’ll be able to avoid already knowing the outcome.
GO BUCS!

Mike got married, has a daughter en route, and sounds locked in. And, yes, he’s on my fantasy team too. And so is V Jax. And I don’t care if I’m a homer. Yeah I tried to get Charles Simms too. I said it.
September 10th, 2016 at 3:51 am
Mike sounds so much more mature and focused this year. VJ looks and says he is in good shape (I dont hate on his age). If both of them could stay relatively healthy the entire year I think this 1-2 WR will be sick
September 10th, 2016 at 9:28 am
Always liked ME even as a rookie. He’s always been a gutsy player, and the zebras don’t intimidate him. He and Mr. V. Jackson will be a hellacious pair if Buc Luck doesn’t bite them. Hopefully, GMC will get plenty of DL help so he doesn’t have 600+ lbs. of OL hanging all over him. Will be paying attention to the Hump, Banks, the RBs, and seeing Aguayo hit a few long bombers. Looking forward to tomorrow. Go MIGHTY BUCS!!
