So what's up with the batted balls?

[dave-o]

I think we have a chance at the record...  If we keep trying real hard...

He plays like he is 5” 4’

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

Baker never pumps and we are throwing right a lot.  Its making it way to easy for the line.

There’s stats you can find on this.

In 4 games he has more than he’s ever had in an entire season from what I could see.

This season is an anomaly for him, so it’s gotta be the OL or play calling not compensating for his height

[Snake]

He's can't change and McAdoo can't either. Basically you see what you get when this happens.

mayfield is a miget....but Doug Flute never had them batted....Heisman winners never win the bowl...analytics....

He has to know where the passing lanes are….maybe there aren’t any…who knows..can’t tell in tv 

id honestly start Walker and let him sit for a week

nothing to lose at this point 

tell the press he has an injury

I haven't seen anything like it either. It seems in his head now. They were so bad, I had to keep watching. 

[Mr. Scot]

It's not just his height.

Word was his old coach Kevin Stefanski had figured out something about his placement / throwing motion that could be exploited. He demonstrated that in Week 1.

I'd say other teams may have studied that and caught on.

(or figured it out on their own)

Don't sleep nude with your cat in the same room.

I wonder is he trying to tank soo he can get out of town  

[CRA]

I think a lot of it is just the predictability of what our O does. 

add on top of that Baker’s height? 

recipe for disaster.  

too many RPOs. D can force the pass and then know where the ball is going.   So they can play the deflection on those as an example.

Yeah, it’s not Baker by himself.  It’s tiny Baker in McAdoo horrific O.
