What's the deal with Evans...

[tomdonahoe]

What's the deal with Evans calling a basketball traveling violation every time before a snap?

All the college highlights and minicamp highlights I have seen show him moving his hands in a circler motion before the snap. He looks like he is doing the electric slide out there. Whats the deal with that? Anyone know?

i think this was talked about in another post somewhere, im sure spaz will find it...but he rolls his fists as he lines up similar to i think tim brown. doesnt make much of a difference im sure, but its a nice signature id say

[DraftBoy]

Its probably all routine, lots of players do it.

he stated somewhere that it gives him momentum and better burst off the line.. he feels.. i guess kind of like spinning your wheels before a drag race??

Howard Simon said according to the refs at OBD for the OTAs if Evans does that in a game he will get a penalty.:scratch:

Since it's the Bills, I'm sure he will. We never seem to be on the positive end of "Just give it to 'em."

Doesn't Tim Brown do the same thing?

[Mr. Miyagi]

I've never seen it but does it look like Culpepper's cheesy ass celebration everytime he throws a TD?

yeah, he does.. and it is not a penalty.

I got an idea. Why doesn't he just go out and catch the ball and make plays. Does every athlete nowadays have to have a "signature" move ?

He does and he has always done the thing with his arms. Also when he scores a TD he either gives the ball to the ref or just drops the ball in the endzone.

That I wouldn't mind having.

[eyedog]

How about after scoring a touchdown he can then twirl his arms if he feels the need. I don't remember him doing that at Wisconsin. But if he produces then I'll be more than happy to watch the arm spin.

I believe it would only be a penalty if he does it just before a snap. Just like the linemen, they aren't suposed to move before for 1 second before the snap unless they are in motion. If they are facing the line, they can't move. I remember several years ago they penalized WRs if their arms were swinging back and forth as they stood on the line.

Tim Brown must get a lot of penalties then.

Well, they're supposed to. But they were supposed to call penalties for a DB holding a WR all the way down the field and didn't seem to remember that rule during the championship games.

the arm spin thing is gay, but if it helps his production, I am sure I will get over it

What isn't the deal with Evans?

I love that attitude. He acts like he has been there before and shows professionalism and maturity!

Thanks Spaz, I missed the post earlier. Really loved the 98 yard touchdown.

I think the hand movement probably is a mental thing for him - and maybe for the DB that have to cover him!

If he doesn't get flagged, let him go.

[Tatonka]

i wish drew bledsoe would spin his arms... maybe it would help his momentum.
