Although the Bills have made great use of Evans' big-play ability, he has been typecast as a one-trick pony. He has been limited to running deep routes, often outside the numbers. It's a lot easier to defend a guy when that's all you do.Bills coach Chan Gailey is hoping to expand the way Evans contributes to the offense. Gailey will continue to use Evans to attack defenses downfield, but he wants to see Evans become as much of a threat on short and intermediate routes as the long ones.

Re: Evans out to reroute his game
He does more than run streaks now! He also stands around the line of scrimmage very well.Comment

Re: Evans out to reroute his game
let's remember to pop this thread to the top in the middle of the season when evans is still just an average receiver adn people say, "he's just running long".
or on the flip side, when he does well and i need a reality check on being so wrong.Comment

Re: Evans out to reroute his game
I was hoping that someone else like Easely could step up go deep so we can move Lee around.Comment

Re: Evans out to reroute his game
Who cares if he is overpaid or that he has holes in his game. It's not like the Bills are in salary cap trouble. And he's still a valuable part of the receiving group, if only for a veteran presence.Originally posted by FunTimesYaY!2013 "My Should Have" Draft

Re: Evans out to reroute his game
If he's drawing double teams from opponents, he can't be that overrated...they're scared of what he can do one on one!Originally posted by FunTimesYaY!Comment

Re: Evans out to reroute his game
Teams still account for him which allows the other players like Stevie to get open. I'm excited about our recieving group and what Gailey and Fitz can do with it. If only we can fix our run game, our pass game will be even better.Originally posted by mjt328Comment

Re: Evans out to reroute his game
Not really sure I want Evans running across the middle. He's not a big guy and he's not a guy whose going to make you miss with loose hips. Prefer a guy like Easley to work the middle with Parrish and let Evans take the top off.COMING SOON...

Re: Evans out to reroute his game
I agree, and I agree with what the article said in that he is one of the best deep threats in the game. I dont care that he doesnt run over the middle if he is still drawing attention from opposing staffs and opening up things for Johnson and the rest of the WR's then so be it. Not every contribution shows up on the stat sheetOriginally posted by DraftBoy
Why are we trying to make him something he's not at 29 years old? Plus With S.Johnson likely grabbing more attention this year it will likely start to open up things deep for Evans a lil more oftenComment

Re: Evans out to reroute his game
I think a great play for us would be the image below (stolen from Madden) and sorry its grainy.
A-Marcus Easley
R-Roscoe Parrish
B-Lee Evans
X-Steve Johnson
Let you're strongest WR deal with a potential jam and the ideal throw for us would be to spring Roscoe in the intermediate zone over the LB's and short of the S's where he can catch the ball and do his thing with the YAC.COMING SOON...
