FOB Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The Dish on ... BILLS WR LEE EVANS One of the people most pleased about QB Drew Bledsoe being in Dallas might be Bills WR Lee Evans. It seemed Bledsoe didn't look Evans' way often last season and was locked into throwing to WR Eric Moulds, especially early in the season. The Bills expect Evans to be more productive this season with QB J.P. Losman unafraid to throw to the second-year player. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Evans overtake Moulds as the team's leading receiver. Dan Pompei Dish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in SC Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 No surprises here. Would an experienced QB look for a proven star WR or an unproven rookie? Duh! Then, after the rookie proves himself, the QB looks to him more frequently. What intelligent QB wouldn't do the same. You can't fault DB for this one. Even a dyed in the wool Drew hater (and there are many on TSW) would have to agree with what he did. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF_in_Indiana Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I wanted Bledsoe out of here as much as anyone, but I'm gonna credit him with helping Lee Evans. Lee had a good year last year and I think he really helped Drew out down the stretch with a lot of the plays he made. I'm sure Drew trusted Moulds more at the beginning of the year and rightfully so. This tidbit is just about pointless if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be worried DB is gone. Eric should be happy he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 So noone wants to talk about how Drew locks onto Eric Moulds and never looks away from him on many plays? It would be one thing to give Evans a glance and use him as a decoy to get it to Moulds until he was comfortable with the rookie....but the fact is that Bledsoe LOCKED ONTO MOULDS....and wouldn't check his other targets...and it happened a lot.....

Eric should be happy he's gone. 358899[/snapback] If by "all categories" you mean TD's and YPR then you'd be right...but if you're going to include those pesky categories like receptions and yards you might want to reconsider this statement.

Fezmid Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 This "article" is worthless. The guy didn't TALK to Evans, he didn't infer anything from being around the team or anything like that. He's just making stuff up. What a great job to have... You know, the person most excited about TBD might be R. Rich. He posts a lot, yet still maintains anonimity (who is he?). If he were to go to a different Bills board, he might not be able to maintain the friendships and still fly under the radar. Besides, as was alluded to, Evans only had 200 yards less, and had 4 TDs more than Moulds. But yeah, DB never threw him the ball. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 It's typical off-season filler. Evans didn't see the ball much early in the season but his catches did increase as the season wore on. That DB went to the veteran Moulds early instead of a rookie is hardly surprising. Any QB would have done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I thought the article was hard-hitting and concise. Now, for an encore, I'd like to see Pompei's divisional predictions. Ought to be just as accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiragandhi'sthong Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Drew may have locked onto Moulds early in the season, but they had a history and Evans was a rookie that Bledsoe had to grow confident of throwing to. By midseason, drew was slinging it pretty good to Evans and he had a heck of a rookie season. I am excited by the possibilities JP holds with his arm and especially his legs, but Drew was a part of this franchise when we really needed him and he did get Buffalo excited again. Lets just hope JP takes it to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 All you have to do is look at the game @Miami in 2003. It was the turning point of his short time in Buffalo. We were dominating Miami, we just couldnt score. Why? Well besides the stupid Travis Henry halfback pass call, before that Drew Bledsoe looked at Moulds while standing in the pocket it seemed like 10 seconds, but it was more like 5. He had no pressure at all. Moulds was in tripple coverage. He kept starring at Moulds. Patting the ball about 4 times before finally throwing it into tripple coverage and resulting in an INT in the Endzone. Had he looked to the right, he might have seen Travis Henry clapping his hands with not a single Dolphin near him. If Bledsoe didnt lock onto Moulds, I believe we win that game. One score, and maybe things are different today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
