Talking about this with a kid I used to play with (Oline) he's big on film.
Right now I'd say 75% of the offensive woes are on Baker. That first pick was busch league and I'll be diving into that later. But the pre-determination is a very big concern.

Baker and that bum Beckham Jr need to GO.
baker: I give up on this bum. I gave him 2-3 years but he just can't read zone. At all. He came into the league as the most accurate QB of the draft but can't throw with accuracy anything over 10 yards. He's hesitant int he pocket and throws WAY too many INTs. He's just a wreck and his confidence is shot.
Odell is a loser through and through. He's no better than Braylon edwards.
Havent won an opener in 16 years. WTF is wrong with this franchise? Pathetic SHI# stain LOSERS!
What can I say anymore. It's actually harder to suck this long than to occasionally be good and have a great season. This team is f'ing cursed.
Hey at least we can will have Fields or Trevor as a consolation prize--which I'm fully expecting them to turn into a pumpkin once they put on the Sh#% stain uniforms.Baker and that bum Beckham Jr need to GO.

Leaving clean pockets was a huge issue last year. And he seemed to be late and behind on a lot of receivers yesterday.
He threw to a ton of wide open WRs at OU. Lincoln Riley is/was a great play caller and of course these aren’t BigXII Defenses either
Are you blaming the play caller? WRs? Oline?

All you people that are seen and blaming OBJ for this need to look in the mirror and save yourselves I see a fucktard. The score was 38 to 6. When did OBJ play defense? Don’t care that he made a mistake or two he was not responsible for giving up 38 points. And is this offense so inept that it can’t make up for a dropped pass or two? Where were all the other weapons? Chub hunt Hooper Landry?

I'm amazed by those who think everything in this world is black and white. "Gee, if you can blame anything else for sucking, then OBJ must not be one of the problems." That is like preschool level thinking. The two are not mutually exclusive: You see, OBJ can suck at the same time when other players/coaches suck. Don't you grasp that? An OBJ brings much more darkness than just dropping a pass. And in a mere few weeks he will showcase his twisted attitude. Someone could say it's a real sh--y attitude.

You know for a fact Case would not be this bad. Bake better pick up his play, or he will be benched.

When the hell did this douche get here?
Guess the better question is, why is he still here? Is this Ghoolie’s new persona?Just a Poli-board bottom-feeder who wandered up into the sunlight...

It’s all coaching and ownership. We had a coach that knew how to win but couldn’t wait to fire him and get back to our losing ways.

Are you referring to Gregg Williams?

I know this is hard, but this is a new coaching staff coming off a very trying offseason.
I know they looked horrible, but hopefully they rebound in the next few weeks. I'm not saying they will, but I'm going to try to give them a bit of time to really judge how things look.
OBJ, on the other hand? This is just Groundhog Day with him at this point.

Ghosts and anticipating pressure as opposed to "feeling" pressure has been, and will likely always be a big deal with Baker.
Yes, Riley is a hell of a coach. And you'll notice one of the first things he brought back to the OU attack was making play action the foundation of the offense. Doesn't matter if it was lateral or downhill action, Baker rarely threw downfield unless it involved a play fake first. And when he would attempt without...? Well, you'll have to find my pre-draft assessment of him somewhere I here, but I remember not being kind to how he poorly read coverage off a straight drop.
Blame? I'm not looking for blame at this moment, I'm looking for fixes. The oline wasn't the biggest issue, and It's hard to just "assign" blame to the WR's if you can't be on the same page as your QB. If you're reading the coverage right, then how do you adjust to a QB who isn't seeing the same things? That is a very more detailed journey that needs to be fleshed out.

Warning - longer post, with pics. I said I wanted to get into that first INT by Baker, so here it is.
Below is pre-snap.
Balt. is showing cover 1 here. The weakside edge is wide for a speed rush and the linebacker aligned outside shoulder of Kareem to take away any flare, flat or outlet. Boundary corner (looks like Marlon) showing bump and the field side safety at 8 yards inside shoulder of our #2 (Landry) Middle fielder is...well, middle field. Right between the hashes. Screams man coverage.
That's neat, Baker. You think you have it...but here's the shift.
Jimmy Smith is in bail, Humphrey, while not in bail, is opening his hips and positioning to drive inside. The middle field safety is outside the hash and the FS is dropping down the right hash eyes inside. It ALMOST looks like quarters. But then I realized the depth of the CB's is the tell and, the now strong safety, getting width like he's playing a half field. This is now cover 6. I know I said cover 3 in an earlier thread, but I didn't get a chance to really pause a frame and look. Granted, it isn't always so clear without the All-22, but it's fairly obvious.
To complete the exotic look, you have front 7 alternate the underneath zone drop responsibilities.
Yep, cover 6.
Landry on the early out, in stride, probably catches this pass and turns it up 6 yards to contend for the first down. This should have been pretty pitch and catch IMHO.
Here's the fun part and one of the reasons why learning an offense and new language is a problem. Baker is doing his final pre-snap look, and that's at 10 seconds. If you really want to be great, that huddle needs to be broke and you need to be giving a dummy count seeing who declares. Especially on 3rd and 10 with much less crowd noise (yes, I"m aware they pumped some in) than what you've had to deal with in your career. More importantly, and this speaks to the shortened off-season, and how transition coaching staffs and all that entails can take a good deal of time... If you want to see your QB taking that extra few seconds pre-snap, maybe give a dummy count and see who will declare, then you need to be to that line at 14 seconds or so. Which mean your playcaller needs to be a step ahead and in rhythm (yes, play calling ryhtmn is a thing), your QB needs to be spitting out the language like Eminem does bars, and your entire offense has to make what they hear second nature. Your QB needs to be comfortable thinking that, even at 10 seconds or so, he has all the time in the world.
Rodgers might be my favorite at giving a false count and see who jumps early. The Pack offense routinely snaps the ball 5 > seconds. Browns are doing it at 9. Doesn't sound like much, but it's a lifetime at this level of football. Here's some Rodgers cadence clips for good measure. Check his body language, voice inflection, eyes and obvious, the play clock.
That is a master at the controls.
What bothers me is something that I don't have a word for. Is it arrogance? Is it ignorance? Is it mindlessness? But there were nice little tells on where you might want to begin working your progression. Which was when you see the field corner start to turn his hips, get depth and peeking back inside. That's also a LOT of space to give Landry, one of the best in the business, to work with against a safety. IF Baker read man coverage, why he wouldn't choose to work with the most space possible, utilizing a top 20 WR combo and staying away from one of the better young CB's in the NFL... is beyond me?! Especially when you are looking for little tips and clues to dissect this defense in real time. Why Baker immediately looked in to Hodge on the slant ... I just don't know. But the Ravens see on tape something that has been true for the last 2 years, Baker LOVES that weakside slant. And you have teams specifically scheming to turn that look into a turnover.
Remember what Earl Thomas said when he came to Baltimore? It's the most complex football machine he had ever been apart of. They disguise coverage very well. But that's the nice part - you KNOW you're being bluffed pre-snap the majority of the time in passing downs and distances. So if you know you're being lied to, you should take that extra second to double check where you're going with that ball. Both pre and post snap.
That's the first turnover, and I know the further I go into this game... the less I'm going to like. But I believe our coaching staff will soon realize the limitations on Baker may not be something he grows beyond. If I'm Stef, the first thing I'm putting the axe to are the empty sets.

I do see that that was my point that you’re pointing all the fingers at OBJ when the whole rest of the team sucked swamp water. I am not saying he didn’t suck too but people act like 38 to 6 loss was all on his shoulders
