So what's up with the batted balls?

Vilma kept mentioning it was our lineman's fault bc they arent chopping them down. Could be something there.

i don't wanna make excuses for baker but it HAS to be, right? we've had plenty of stank ass QBs in this town and this has never, ever been an issue like this.

i mean as offensive linemen you can hand fight to keep the DL's arms down without holding, right?

I've noticed that when the players on opposing teams dont get through their blocks.... they stop in their tracks and just watch the QB and then jump to bat the ball. I called that out against the Giants... i found it interesting because it seemed to be coached.

Baker's an easy target because  ...

A)whenever he gets in trouble then he automatically almost always rolls out to his right...

B) he sits & stares down his reciever leading the defense more than any other starting Qb i've seen in the NFL prior to releasing the football ...

C) & he's a midget with little man syndrome causing him to say things he can't back up creating unessary momentum for the other team to kick his & our ass with an exclamation mark.& moreover if not this year while being a Carolina Panther then well more than likely in the past he's rubbed someone on the oppsing team the wrong way with his big mouth...

D)& I honestly believe that the NFL has figured out this offense to the point that they are able to easily diagnose the play prior to the snap on at least 75% of their plays...

E) plus he simply sucks...

I have literally never seen anything like this in my entire life. He's on the shorter size but that can't be it, plenty of other signal callers are the same height. 

I've never watched another team's games and seen anything like this, and we see it every game. It's absolutely insane.

Is it completely Baker? Is it really bad scheming with regard to opening passing lanes? Is it poor offensive line coaching?

This is a dysfunctional offense the likes of which I never thought I'd see rivaled after the pickles era and I don't know what to make if it mechanically.

Maybe the teams trying to get rule fired?  Maybe.

From what I've heard, batted balls are on the offensive line. Also, the playcalling is trash, the defense knows where we are going with the ball and when to jump. Mayfield was looking pissed at the end of the game and I think he knows the playcalling is garbage

this is wrong. He has the exact opposite issue. He moves through his targets too fast... that's why he misses open throws. There is hours and hours and hours of footage of this.

Fire as usual @PhillyB. You don’t see R Wilson, Murray, etc getting balls batted like this. It’s a hmmmm from me dawg.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
