If you took the time to exclusively watch <nobr>Lee Evanshttp://www.buffalobills.com/assets/img/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/lee-evans/baad07e0-362a-498a-a88c-1b4a50e28616/)</nobr> as he ran his routes play after play and series after series last season you saw it time and time again. Double coverage, bracket coverage, a safety rolled over the top. Over and over Lee Evans was double teamed as the only major deep threat in Buffalo’s receiving corps, and more often than not it neutralized one of the Bills only quick strike weapons.
But now with <nobr>Terrell Owenshttp://www.buffalobills.com/assets/img/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/terrell-owens/12b7ec0d-f7fa-4459-8a4d-ae69fc5b7f69/)</nobr> on board and set to be lined up opposite Evans, having an answer for number 83 suddenly is not so easy.
“There’s no doubt the dynamics of our offense have now changed with Terrell on the other side of Lee,” said offensive coordinator Turk Schonert. “We have to see how teams are going to play us. Last year especially the second half of the season, Lee was doubled. They take away our big threat and everybody kind of copied it and did the same thing the second half.”
Now with Owens, opponents can’t just double Evans and play everyone else straight up. And that’s what has Evans excited about the upcoming season. He knows he won’t be seeing double teams as frequently as he has in the past.
“I think it will certainly drop,” Evans said. “I was double-covered a lot last year. I think that it will drop. It’s hard to say by how much. I think teams will just try to schematically do different things that take people away at certain times, but it will be on the quarterback to make the right read on what the defense is trying to do, and see who’s open and make the play. We’ll see. I think it will be certainly a lot of fun going into it, and as we go through the season, it’s not going to be easy. It’s going to be a lot of work, but the potential is there.”...

i think Terrell is going to teach Evans how to dance in the endzone.

When is the last time you've seen a bills player enjoy scoring a touchdown? I don't think we've ever had a flashy player. I respect both sides of the argument of "act live you've been there." But i also knkow when the opponent scores and rubs it in our face, i would love be on the other side of that. and maybe that is something that will help this team stop being so timid like their coach.

I'd rather score a bunch of TDs, and hand the ball to the official after each one. As Marv said, "Look like you've done it before." I think that is more intimidating to the opposition than dancing around like a bunch of amateurs.

[trapezeus]

like i said, i see both sides of the argument, but i also think football is a game of momentum. If you are firing up your crowd and team mates and you are taking the opposing teams away from their focus on the game, that is a good thing. And that kind of momentum can snowball. Of course it can also backfire.

I would like to see a little non penalized celebrating from time to time. I mean, even a simple flex.
