    enough tape for Hue & me? 

      guys are open..read pre-snap than grip it & rip it..Ball to Callaway was so badly thrown,ref would not give up a gift flag..(cuz were the browns)

    Thanks, that video confirmed what I saw at the game. Tyrod missed seeing guys who were wide open, and when he did get the pass off, he was either short or off target most of the time.

    Larry.. I saw the same damn thing you did.. It was annoying.. I think Sam nailed it in the breakdown.. The telling thing for me about Baker , were his hitch steps.. His footwork is nearly flawless..... I harken back to what Hue said in his Presser.. "He's still an unfinished product"... If He's making these kinds of split  second reads now... It's SCARY fun to think what this kids eyes and instincts will become...

  • **My prediction for this Sunday**

    Browns- 28

    Raiders- 24

    Raiders come out and take a 14-0 lead, 
    Mayfield throws a pick, and loses a fumble in the first half, but a Carlos Hyde TD before halftime brings the score to 14-7

    Baker comes out firing 3 TDs in the second half, finishes the day 23/37 passing, 298 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT

    Landry catches Baker's first career TD pass, Duke and Njoku catch the others in the red zone. Callaway has one reception for at least 40 yards..

    Of course this is my prediction, but I think that's how it plays out.

    Oakland comes out swinging, Baker struggles a little, but turns it on once the team makes adjustments at halftime.

  • Go vote for Baker!!!!

    After watching two different videos, obvious why Baker is starting and Taylor is relegated to the backup role. You can see now why the Bills gladly took a third for Tyrod. He couldn't have consistently been playing this badly in Buffalo, or the Bills wouldn't have sniffed the playoffs. The Jets game wasn't the only sub par performance by Taylor. Sheeze, he looked like the rookie, and Baker the established vet on Thursday night. Maybe he'll benefit sitting and watching, learning the offence while Mayfield starts. 

    PS- yup, Tyrod totally missed seeing at least two hot reads, and as a consequence, got killed for his inattention. 

  • Tyrod was having one of his worst days ever and I still feel the second time down bell ringing was more of a Sonny Liston or a "No mas" kind of thing.

    It sure kind of looked that way.. I gotta believe Haley or someone got in Hue's ear and said.. "Look.. We're not going anywhere with that retread.. Look what the kid just did..".. However... I'm not in the conspiracy theory camp.. I just think Baker was just that much better.

  • What are you guys expecting this week?  Are you as confused as I am?  I have a REALLY hard time believing a rookie is going to come into his first road start and do very well, BUT after seeing what I did last week, maybe he will?  Jamal Adams of the Jets stated they didn't prepare for Baker at all, so you know the Raiders will DEFINITELY have a plan in place.  The great news for Baker is that the Raiders don't appear to have much of a pass rush, and if you blitz Baker, you better get home.  Anyway, what are you guys expecting, stat wise?  I'll take a stab at it.

    26-39 for 289 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT's, 1 fumble (hopefully not lost, lol).  That's where I'm at right now.  I'm expecting solid play, but I'm also expecting rookie mistakes (like he made Thursday, 1 fumble, 1 should-be pick).  Neither cost us, but that's RARE in the NFL.  

    I don't have a final score prediction yet.  I want to go back and watch the Raiders' last game in full before I make it.  I know Derek Carr has been playing pretty darn well (for the most part), but he threw a costly pick against the Fins late in the game.  It's also worth noting we're getting Ogbah back, and that's a VERY good thing for our pass rush, especially our 3rd down and long package, where we like to go Genard Avery outside, Garrett inside, Ogunjobi inside, Ogbah outside.  You think Garrett inside is crazy?  Nope.  Gregg moves Garrett all over the place, and he's gotten sacks from everywhere on the line.  DE Chris Smith filled in admirably for Ogbah, but Ogbah is especially nasty against the run, and sets the edge VERY well.

  • Jets HC said they did watch film on Baker in preparation in case he came in and played last week.    No idea if its true or not.   I mean there is film on him already, long before last Thursday night.  He played plenty in the preseason.

  • They should get Peppers involved on the offense as well as Tyrod Taylor- those dudes can move and make plays even though Baker is starting.

    Ya, lets use our back up QB as a RB.  That's smart.

    Having a sub package that can utilize Taylor's mobility and his passing ability is not out of the question. Taylor is probably one of the top 3 fastest QBs in the league.

    As someone said he ain’t in college now. The dude is hardly able to handle the job he has so why complicate things for him by trying to put them on offense

    Oh really, Peppers hasn’t done anything as far as a punt or kick returner . Looks more like the next 1st round pick to get run out of here
