Give me some hope. Can this offense be turned around?

[Khaki Lackey]

Unlike all the crybabies that want us to lose so that they can write juvenile open letters to David Tepper, I'm trying to remain hopeful here.

Can our offense turn it around? Can the OL gel? Can Baker get it together? Give me a few reasons to think it's a possibility.

Also, is Darnold still alive? Is he even on the sidelines? 

Bonus points if you can explain to me why our secondary sucks and is reverting to a Rivera soft zone.

Depends on coaches. So maybe, but not likely. We are seeing what I would hope is the floor with Baker. Hopefully ben starts incorporating other receivers and “opens it up” more or whatever rhule said he did for running one reverse play

It will turn around once Sam is put in week 5 or week 6. 

Baker is so fundamentally bad, I question what the coaches were looking at during training camp. He has the absolute worst footwork in the pocket of any starting QB in the league. The problems he displays in games actually showed up in training camp i.e cant see over linemen, having to move out of pocket to see throwing lanes, terrible feet in the pocket. Just the absolute worst

 

Baker is officially the worst rated starting QB in the league now. Just terrible

If the Oline keeps improving it can mask alot of deficiency... Play calling may get better with more trust.. But my money is the Oline ..

[Jon Snow]

Sure, anything can happen.  Expecting everything to magically fix itself this season? Don't hold your breath. 

There's just too much FUBAR with this team to turn it around.  If they somehow get more than 5 wins this season count it as a miracle.

Starts a thread about the offense but doesn’t mention the biggest problem…

This right here is why nothing will get better

I feel like the offensive line has played horrible and is to blame a lot for Baker sucking. I also would love to know how many passes has been dropped by our team this season, it seems like a lot.

 

I guess the positive is that our offense can’t get any worse.

I don't think the Oline has been horrible... Alot of Bakers problem are on Bakers and the play calling has been vanilla.. But Oline has steady improved every game.. Run blocking has been way better than last year.. I actually see team having to stacked the box and we still get plus plays.. Pass blocking is coming along with Baker having more time then Darnold and Teddy.. Plus simple stunts and blitzes aren't automatically working against them.. Teams are actually having to use some exotic stuff to get pressure this year.. Last year they could bring 4 and destroy the oline..

Wilks is the reason we’ve been employing zone coverage looks more often “to try and create interceptions”

rhule said as much during a presser last week

Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel that Baker seems to be under pressure a lot. Yes our run game has improved but is that because we have CMC?
