“A Poor Man’s Version Of Julio”
November 8th, 2018
Time for film study. A three-time Pro Bowl defensive back and a retired stud receiver have broken down all things Mike Evans.
Cool stuff here.
The video below is from CSN Washington, featuring Deangelo Hall and Santana Moss.
Hall calls Evans “a poor man’s version of Julio” Jones, stressing he’s not trying to throw shade at Evans. Moss, one of Joe’s favorite receivers in NFL history, claims Evans is “the bully of receivers.” Lot of good Xs and Os here, including how covering Evans changes in the red zone.
Perhaps Hall can come and coach Bucs cornerbacks next season?

So Julio Jones is a rich man’s Mike Evans.
November 8th, 2018 at 11:12 am
Better Micheal Clayton = Mike evans
November 8th, 2018 at 11:14 am
Or should I say Mike Evans is supposed to be what Mike Clayton should of been.
I don’t care what ppl. Mike Evans Is not a top 5-8 receiver
November 8th, 2018 at 11:18 am
Makes you wonder what they would say about ME13 if he did not have “A Poor Man’s Version of Jay Cutler” throwing to him, thru most of his career?????????:
GO Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man our fans are dumb. These threads remind me all the time lol.
I don’t care what anyone says, Mike is a top 5-8 receiver.
November 8th, 2018 at 11:24 am
I’ve never seen Julio as disinterested and disengaged as Mike was last week. Strangely, he’s good for one/two real stinkers a year- usually against aggressive, press CBs. Don’t get me wrong, Mike’s the least of our problems- and may go down as the best post SB era Buccaneer, but sometimes, the body language is just not good. Sometimes he seems to get caught up in his own head.

Evans is HOFer.
November 8th, 2018 at 11:28 am
this guy drops more key passes and kills more drives than any #1 WR I’ve seen
keyshawn would own him
November 8th, 2018 at 11:37 am
Mike Evans had more 1st down receptions than any wr in the league last year.
You guys are ridiculously stupid.

Posts like this make it really hard not to go on the attack, lol.

Ya so hard I had to say something.
Bonzai I gotta give u respect. You’re in the minority of intelligent bucs fans.
November 8th, 2018 at 11:42 am
Mike Evans is the best player on this team and has been since he arrived. He isn’t a poor man’s Julio, he is Megatron 2.0, without a good QB.
November 8th, 2018 at 11:44 am
Don’t even waste your time with ME 13 haters they don’t have anything better to do most of them prob need jobs. He is the best WR in Bucs history an he is a top 8 in the nfl no debate. I’m grateful we have him just sucks his talents might get wasted on this team
November 8th, 2018 at 11:47 am
So much is broken on this team. The receiving Corps is probably the only part of the team that is actually good. ME 13 is a baller. Some people are really ignorant.
November 8th, 2018 at 11:48 am
I saw a statistic if we had buffalos defense which is ranked 26th, then we would be 5-3. Maybe better.
We’re getting there. Offense is legit and will be for a while. Just need to clean up right side of ol and upgrade on RB. Even if we have to move on from Jameis which I don’t think happens, a new QB will have tons of pieces to step right in.
Now we can focus primarily on the defense and get a solid DC without archaic ideals.
But the absolutely worst thing about us is our fans. Went to the Carolina game Sunday and saw maybe 100 of us. Most of which were ruder than Panthers fans and much dumber sad to say.
November 8th, 2018 at 11:56 am
Mike evans drops the ball way to much…. It’s a pattern. Can you really rely on that to catch a game winning td?
Or what happens when a top corner comes to town? Me13 gets shut out everytime
November 8th, 2018 at 12:11 pm
If you don’t think Evans is a top receiver in this league, especially when the Bucs have had nothing at receiver for the last 15 years except for Vincent Jackson, then you are high on some good stuff.
Evans is a stud who deserves a better QB.
November 8th, 2018 at 12:12 pm
Dude drops at least one important pass every game. Terrible hands and terrible attitude on the field. Overrated
November 8th, 2018 at 12:21 pm
Those who doubt ME, name 5-8 better, I will give you OBJ, Julio, Theilen, Thomas (Saints) and AJ Green
November 8th, 2018 at 12:29 pm
rrsqr you forgot Antonio Brown, DeAndre Hopkins, DeMarious Thomas, Stephon Diggs, Julian Edleman, Larry Fitzgerald
November 8th, 2018 at 12:33 pm
Thomas, Diggs, Edelman, and Fitzgerald (currently) are not better than Evans. And AJ Green can’t stay healthy otherwise he would be but he isn’t.
Evans is top tier and idk why Bucs fans can’t see that. Evans is quite possibly the best receiver in Bucs history.
November 8th, 2018 at 12:35 pm
Oh wow another surprise dumb comment!
Stefon diggs, theilens outlier season, demaryius* Thomas, Larry Fitzgerald (2018), Julian Edelman 😂
Rest are debatable but man you guys are dumb as ****!

November 8th, 2018 at 12:40 pm
I’ll actually give u thielen if he continues this but he’s got a lot to prove.
Funny our best player is overrated though. You guys are cute. And dumb. 😘
November 8th, 2018 at 12:53 pm
To be fair, just about every other receiver could be considered a poor man’s Julio… Just depends on how poor you are.
November 8th, 2018 at 1:00 pm
Don’t see the Evans to Jones comparison. I see Evans as a poor man’s Calvin Johnson, Evans and Jones have two completely different games. Evans is about high pointing the ball, out physically DBs for the ball and being fast enough to keep them honest. Jones is about speed and power and running after the catch. Our poor man’s Julio is Chris Godwin, Evans is a poor man’s Calvin Johnson, DeSean Jackson is a poor man’s DeSean Jackson… because he isn’t quite what he used to be but he hasn’t fallen that far.
November 8th, 2018 at 1:03 pm
Lol the people on this site are absolutely lost 1000 yds every year , and top tier corner ? Go look at Mr. droy Marshan Lattimore and look what mike did too him smh
November 8th, 2018 at 1:18 pm
Way overrated and way too many drops. Wouldn’t mind seeing him traded.
November 8th, 2018 at 1:35 pm
Since most teams rush 4 and get pressure against us that gives them 7 in coverage. No run game to keep them honest. It’s a Bucs life/
November 8th, 2018 at 1:37 pm
Pelbuc= Typical complaining buc fan who much rather indulges in the toxic atmosphere of loafing players in hopes the organization blows everything up every other year because of the drama that follows. All in the meanwhile, completely and utterly ignoring the fact that the one player who gives 100% they are labeling “overrated” and is willing to trade them.
In other words Pelbuc= moron.
November 8th, 2018 at 2:31 pm
Lamarcus man even trolls would be offended by your comments. Michael Clayton really? What are you 12? You can’t possibly say that and have people take you seriously or believe you have a fully developed and functioning brain
November 8th, 2018 at 2:38 pm
Lmao… I can’t believe there are haters of Mike Evans.
One of the best receivers in the damn game… just happens to be playing on the worst team. SMH.
November 8th, 2018 at 2:54 pm
Mike Evans is Vincent Jackson Jr.

_______
Worse than (DE) Michael Johnson?????????? GTFO
November 8th, 2018 at 3:24 pm
Bucs fan: absolutely worst than johnson
November 8th, 2018 at 3:29 pm
ME is a really good receiver tittering on elite, but he does slack off and I’ve hardly ever seen him layout for catches. WR’s like Julio will try just about anything to catch a ball. ME will jump for balls but he does not like to layout for them.
November 8th, 2018 at 3:30 pm
ME is very good. He can certainly be better though by giving…
1. More YAC (stop looking for the ground immediately upon a reception over the middle)
2. Less drops (He does the spectacular then, drops one that hits him between the numbers)
3. Mental sharpness (many here ie: lackadaisical, fights, drops, penalties etc.
4. 100% Always (this is really wear Julio separates himself from others)
November 8th, 2018 at 6:16 pm
Excellent video, well done by the Redskins staff there.
Also I don’t really think saying a poor man’s Julio is an insult, not the way he means it. I think Julio is literally the best WR in football (yes, better than Brown) and he’s saying he’s the same type of guy just without the speed. Mike has a rap for not being all that fast, which I don’t really agree with, he’s faster than people give him credit for and shows that when he gets the ball in the open. Then again most of the time, like the Carolina game, he’s being double teamed and usually being tackled on the play. Remember that Mike Evans was brought to be taught by VJ, and I really think that’s a perfect comparison. VJ had a bit more speed when he was younger, but he lost it as time went along and changed the style of his play to be a lot more physical, and that is what Evans was taught.
Anyways, again, good video, really interesting, was good to have 3 mins about the Bucs without doom and gloom.
November 8th, 2018 at 8:15 pm
Hall If Fame?
Really?
Lol
November 8th, 2018 at 8:45 pm
He’s not even the best wr on the team Godwin runs better routes, high points the ball better, makes better contested catches and just has better hands in general. Mike doesn’t know how to get open on a confident press corner. He gets flustered and forgets how to run his routes. Hopefully future teams we play don’t pay too much attention to the panthers game and the way he got man handled all game
November 8th, 2018 at 8:50 pm
That being said, wr is the most overrated position in football, you don’t need a big named wr to be a good team
November 8th, 2018 at 9:32 pm
I do solidly stand that Me13 is one of my favorite Buc and my 4 year son favorite player and Me13 is my households name. He is the best Bucs wr all time by a wide margin Itas just a serious joke and I’ll name who is better today:
Jones, Green, Beckham, hopkins, tyreke hill, Michael Thomas, Antonio Brown which he is old now, Theilen, and then Me13
They are just threats to take it to the house every time they touch the ball. Me13 just has a different game and extremely confident in his ability. If you keep saying your the best you will believe it

Lulz some fans are so misguided
