![]() SO, whilst we can definitively say "The Saints have owned Mike Evans", I personally do not think it is accurate, given the data, to single out Lattimore as being the reason why. And when we account for penalty yards it is noticeably worse. He is giving up a worse yards per game average to Mike Evans than the Saints did before he was drafted. He is the only Saonts DB to have let Mike Evans catch 100% of his targets He is the only Saints DB to have given up an 100 yard game to Mike Evans. If anything, he has performed the worst out of all the Saints defensive backs to have ever faced Mike Evans. Given that Mike Evans has historically performed poorly against the Saints in his career, prior to Marshon Lattimore showing up,ĪND given that Mike Evans average against Lattimore is actually better than before Lattimore was drafted,ĪND given that Mike Evans best game against the Saints was against Lattimore,Ĭan we really say that Lattimore has owned Mike Evans more than any other Saints DB? Which again, isnt stellar, but is well above Mike Evans average prior to Lattimore being drafted. If we add just the 67 yards from the week 1 matchup in DPI yardage to Mike Evans career totals against Lattimore, his average jumps to 60 yards per game. Again, the Saints performed better against Mike Evans WITHOUT Marshon Lattimore.ĪLSO, what often gets missed in the raw receiving yardage stats are things like DPI yardage. And that game was away for the Saints in Tampa. That same season, Lattimore missed the second game and Mike Evans had 4 catches for only 84 yards and 0 TDs. So, he actually preformed worse against the Saints BEFORE Marshon Lattimore showed up.įURTHERMORE, Mike Evans best game against the Saints in his career came against Marshon Lattimore to the tune of 7 targets, 7 catches, 147 yards, and 1 touchdown.įURTHER STILL, it is Mike Evans ONLY game in his career against the Saints that was over 100 yards and the ONLY game where he posted a 100% Catch Rate. In those 5 games he averaged 46.4 yards per game and had only 2 tds. He played 5 games against the Saints prior to Marshon Lattimore being drafted by them. In 13 career games against the Saints, he has averaged only 51 yards and a total of 4 TDs. What is interesting to note is that Mike Evans has historically not played well against the saints in his whole career. These are not stellar numbers by Mike Evans standards. In 7 games against the Saints since they drafted Lattimore, Mike Evans has averaged 50 yards a game and only 2 Tds. Now I want to make it clear - I am not here to argue that Mike Evans has performed well against Marshon Lattimore. I come with a statistical debate to expose a misleading narrative within the NFL. /r/usfl - United States Football League./r/footballcards - Football Card Collecting. ![]()
