Mike Evans' Hall Of Fame Resume | Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New Orleans Saints preview - a podcast by Locked On Podcast Network, James Yarcho, David Harrison

James is joined by WTSP 10 Tampa Bay Sports Director Evan Closky to dive into all things Tampa Bay Buccaneers as some listeners call in to voice their opinion on the 600th touchdown ball trade-off and what they would have done had they been handed Tom Brady's record setting touchdown game ball. Evan then gives his take on the situation.
Mike Evans has a pretty impressive NFL record of his own, being the only receiver in NFL history to begin a career with seven consecutive 1,000 yard seasons. No other receiver to ever put on a pair of cleats can lay claim to that milestone. Not Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, Steve Largent, Lance Allworth, Paul Warfield, or Raymond Barry. You may ask why I named those specific receivers and the answer is simple - those are the only receivers to ever be inducted to the Pro Football Hall Of Fame on the first ballot.So, having said that, is Mike Evans a first ballot Hall of Famer? It's too early to tell right now, but James and Evan debate the merits should Evans continue on this trajectory. He's having another impressive season - currently on pace to set a career high in touchdown receptions for the second consecutive season - but there's a long way to go before we start thinking about gold jackets and whether or not he will get one on his first year of eligibility.
With the New Orleans Saints next up on the schedule, Bucs fans are preparing to see a familiar face in quarterback Jameis Winston. As of now, the Saints are averaging 10 points less per game on offense than the Buccaneers but allowing 4.2 points less per game to their opponents than Tampa Bay is. As for Jameis?Well, James and Evan discuss his utilization as he is currently 29th in the NFL in pass attempts - fewer than some players that have played fewer games due to injury or circumstance compared to Winston, who has been a starter all season. Is this a way to minimize risk by forcing Winston to be a game manager? Or is Alvin Kamara just so good that he commands the ball enough that Winston doesn't have to throw it?
Finally, Evan gets into his predictions for player of the game, bold prediction, and final score as the Bucs start off as a five point favorite on the road against their divisional rival - the first meeting between the two since the Bucs eliminated the Saints from the playoffs in the NFC Divisional round.Follow&Subscribe to the Locked On Bucs Podcast on these platforms…
