Lee Evans: Star cloaked in Buffalo's fog

Brutal article about Lee Evans from ESPN. Be warned, this will get you more down than the "Breaking Down Buffalo's Fourth Quarter Failures" article. Woof...

I just posted the same article

You beat me to it, but I like your description much better…… The article got me down, but he is a class act in my book; doesn’t complain, doesn’t throw anyone under the bus….. just tries harder.

Hate to see this

I read this story last night and I hate seeing it. Its sad but true Evans has been a great asset to this team however this could be true. The Bills Star has had to many changes in his time here and it has to be rough for him season in and season out. We really need a young receiver this year to step up and help him out. I would love to see Easley do it. This go is physical and really like that. I like the idea of having Evans, Johnson, Parrish and Easley on the field all at once. I really like Hardy but he is injury prone and I think we will use him in red zone more than anything. But please someone please step up and help this guy out.

They need to step up

but the play calling needs to step up as well.

Last year the plays were so bland and uninpired, giving the recievers little chance to do anything

Man that was depressing.

Yet everything in that article except the “misshandling of pro-bowl left tackle Jason Peters” was dead on. I really hope that Evans does not get frustrated with this team by the end of this season. If this season goes bad, and it can, then I would deffinatly not be surprised to see Evans ask for a trade.

And now MRW has us voting for who we want to vote against!

Langston Walker

It’s worth noting that Evans calls the decision to can Langston Walker the biggest mistake of all last year. It simply made no sense to him — or to me. Walker was one of the best RT’s in the league the year before and the Bills desperately needed him there in 2009 with the rest of the o-line so green. Once it was clear that switching Walker to LT was a big mistake they should have put him back on the right side, bumped Brad Butler back inside, and at least have preserved some continuity and veteran presence on half of the line. I was shocked when they didn’t do that and apparently Lee Evans was as well.

Evans a Star

The writer of this article has no judgement of talent. A Star WR is able to get open, double-teamed or not. Evans can’t

And someone who watches the game on TV might not see an open Evans, just like his terrible quarterbacks.

Burned

And rightfully so
