flyingfooldoug Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Maybe Baker shouldn’t have shotgunned that beer on tv.... Maybe he shouldn’t do tv ads with that cute blonde(real wife), maybe he shouldn’t have gotten married He’s a young newlywed celebrity athlete. I’m of the opinion that our man Baker is merely going through what many call a sophomore slump or jinx. A lot has happened to him in a short year and it’s catching up. I’m sure that he’ll process things and that the game starts “slowing down” for him soon. With his work ethic and attitude, he’ll be just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this weekend with a tough opponent and on the road he can kick it in gear again. Mr Hollywood has to go back to just being a football player again.

Ibleedbrown Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 I’m starting to wonder if the loss of Zeitler is having a greater effect on Baker’s style of play than we thought. I feel like last year Baker at least had a teacup of reliable protection up front in the form of Bitonio, Tretter and Zeitler and seemed more confident stepping up in the pocket when the walls closed in instead of bolting stage right.

The question is: can they block him with two on one. Have the OC or OG in there...and also have a RB...be it a fullback or anyone else who can block also in their chipping on him, or full blown blasting on him. Slow him down...some at least, so that Baker doesn't have to scramble after 1.5 seconds on every play...and so he can maybe make some 1 or 2 reads after his first. Where you getting this 1.5 seconds from? Week 2 baker had the highest average time to throw. Last week, 2.96 seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that have been where I saw that? Maybe. It could have been something like "he needs to get the ball out in 1.5 seconds in order to have X amount of success. So...wherever you saw what you saw, what did it say about what happened when he did not get rid of the ball in 1.5 seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't say anything directly about what happened if ball was still in his hands after 1.5 seconds. What it infers is when his fist read is not open he becomes much less accurate and indecisive on where to go with the ball. It says that maybe he panics. I don't know that it says anything about the oline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that it says anything about the oline I heard some talk this morning on the radio that it is actually the way the offense as planned and that he only have one read the make and then after that it’s up to him to improvise.

Freddie came out and said that's not true at all and Baker makes more than one read. Whether he does or not who knows. One thing im certain of is the offense isn't one read and then improvise. Freddie has looked shaky as a first time head coach, but there is absolutely no way anyone would have that be the plan for their offense in the NFL. Hell you're very unlikely to see that be the plan in high school football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year 2,3,4 growth you start making other reads. People use the Brett Farve comparison a lot with Baker and Farve has his worst year by far his second year (I believe). Vanilla offense year 1 slight expansion as the years went on. I think truthfully he could stand to probably learn the playbook a little better that probably comes with time too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think truthfully he could stand to probably learn the playbook a little better that probably comes with time too Typically even with rookies they don't just give a quarterback one read. They give them a half of the field to read. I highly doubt Baker only has one read on passing plays. On rpo plays absolutely he has only one read as does every quarterback on rpo plays.
