I know we crap on Baker for batted balls but I think you’re seeing more across the league because I’ve noticed a number of interior guys seem to be coached that if you’re not gonna win the pass rush, stop where you are and just watch and elevate.

Use to be everyone pinned their ears back 24/7

They've always been coached to do that. They're taught the from high-school.  You just don't notice when they miss.  Baker just seems to have more than anyone since he's been in the league.  I'm not sure it all has to do with his height.

They're also getting penalties for textbook QB hits so goodbye DE's actually trying to sack the QB every snap, wait til they're scrambling and gently push them over

I know the concept of getting your hands up but there are guys not going forward at all and just waiting

Honestly with this roughing the passer crap it’s probably safer to do that instead of pass rushing

I have not noticed anything that jumps out to me that would indicate a trend toward stopping the rush to get their hands up beyond normal.  Maybe some coaches have figured out tells that are qb specific or situational keys. I really do not get into it enough nor care enough to figure out Bakers tell but I'm sure there is one.

    • Even if he beats the odds, returns midseason  and plays like he did last year it won’t warrant a big contract extension. 
    • It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth
