I've always heard batted passes are on the offensive line. Cam had numerous passes batted down in the Miami Game and no one here can call him a midget. It's easy to blame Baker like we did with Brady, Bridgewater, and even Darnold but the coaching staff doesn't even know how to play to our personnel's strengths. The coaching staff does no favors to our offense.  

Somewhat. Jimmy Clausen had this "flatline" trajectory to a lot of his throws that made them easier to bat down (or intercept).

With the defense we have now, how great would it be to have Bridgewater and Joe Brady back. 

I agree 100%. Well stated.

It is a Baker Mayfield problem.  It happened a lot in Cleveland too.

he had like a dozen in a single season in CLE. he's got that four games in here.

Baker's doing a lot of not good  things here that he didn't do in cleveland and we're performing worse than with just about any other QB in at least a decade. 

i'm beginning to think this just wasn't a good match.

...with the first five coming in a game against his former coach.

Stefanski knew the problem in Cleveland and schemed to minimize it. When Mayfield came here, Stefanski knew exactly how to exploit it.

Unfortunately, I think that first game showed other coaches how to do it too.

Our coaching staff can't work to accentuate Mayfield's strengths. How in the hell are they supposed to be able to understand how to minimize his weaknesses?

We so desperately need professional coaching. It's bad all across the board. It's so bad we, as a fanbase, were happy to see the return of Wilks... who was a bad coach and a terrible HC.

Baker is short and he has a very long windup before he throws. The ability to anticipate a throw coming with the benefit of a lower trajectory leads to the tips.

Compare his release time to tape of Corral or damn near any starter in the NFL. It's painful.

This seems to be the most logical reason for the number of batted passes. Arizona obviously saw something from the Cleveland game and looked to take advantage of it. Baker’s timing is pretty consistent when he makes a decision to commit to the throw. Arizona was trying to block the passes all game but didn’t get the timing figured out until the second half.

Is his windup any longer than others? They just seem to have a key on when he's drawing back and those DL are reaching up 8-10 feet in the air. I just don't know. It can't just be height. He's the same as Brees. 

One thing to consider, is his poker face the problem?  In other words, is the other team able to tell by looking at Mayfield’s reactions?  I am not sure I am explaining my suspicions, sometimes the other team picks up information by looking at QB body movements, etc.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      been living in town since March of last year after spending 15+ years out on a farm in the middle of nowhere.  Snow was beautiful out there, but always meant a lot of work dealing with the long driveway and long dirt road out and onto paved roads that were the last in the county to get plowed. On normal days it always took 20 minutes to get anywhere. when it snowed...yeah. forget about it for a couple days. still had to go to work, so i'd have to drive on all these narrow and windy snow covered backroads after dealing with my driveway and putting up with the nasty red mud slush on the dirt road. if there was an emergency or some kind of urgent issue that required you having someone drive in or going out, it was just a major stressor.  anyways, i'm just looking forward to snow in the new house in town, where my driveway is really short and the roads are plowed. i want snow that requires no work or stress on me. most people probably love the idea of being snowed in out in the country. been there. done that. i'm looking forward to snow coming in town and being able to get out and about if i need. hopefully we have some this year.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't think it will be a complete stomping at all. That's not really the 2024 KC team. They have only scored 30 points once this season(shootout versus TB) and their biggest margin of victory has been 13(vs. the Saints). I guess they clearly show better versus the NFC South but not THAT good. Not by their recent years standard.
