From the episode

If they just put him in motion a little bit more, just 5%, maybe 6%... every single defensive coordinator has a history of how Mike Evans has been played... But they've never seen him out in motion a lot. It's not something that's even being accounted for.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Evans' motion usage upside is unexploited by defensive coordinators.

Matt Kelley argues Evans has untapped upside through increased motion usage; he's never been deployed in motion frequently throughout his career, creating a schematic advantage if Kyle Shanahan or the Buccaneers deploy him more creatively. Kelley notes defensive coordinators have historical game plans for Evans' traditional usage patterns but have never accounted for high-motion deployment, suggesting early-season upside not baked into projections.
