madman88 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 i always hear so much negativity about our LT, mush more then he is worth taking... has he struggled at times? yea.. but he still has produced... if not then we would have seen ryan on his back a lot more then we have.... to only be sacked around 30 times a year says that not only him but this line can play... i dnt want to hear about ryan gets the ball out his hands quick thats why it hides baker skills, but thats ryan job, to get the ball out quick(3 sec)... agains the steelers who blitzed us the most so far and having to deal with their OLBs, he held up pretty good, only one time i saw where he gave up pressure but still held in there long enough to let ryan get the ball out... baker isnt as bad as some ppl portray him to be...

swift Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Baker cant be trusted ..His run blocking also has been subpar this pre season..Teams are collapsing in on him...I hope the loss of Dalh who brought some nasty streak to it doesnt effect this team The oline is atrocious to be honest ..We have our moments but they actually have taken a step back in run game. The looks Turner is seeing and the push the oline allows. The pocket Ryan gets are far and between..They started to play better 2nd quarter late but it was more when we were playing hurry up offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pocket Ryan gets are far and between..They started to play better 2nd quarter late but it was more when we were playing hurry up offensereally now... this was by far the best front 7 we seen so far and did better with them then any other team this preseason... turner had a better running day this game then last year.. and ryan had far more time this time around then last year... the line isnt atrocious at all.. i think your over exaggerating about the line...

Guest JoeSr Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I agree with you madman. Our line was solid and Baker was not half bad at all. I always, for some reason, watch Baker on every drop back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always, for some reason, watch Baker on every drop back.yep.. im more surprised about it then anything.. the fact that the line held up against the blized pretty good.. even on that deep ball to JJ, the line held up and gave ryan plenty of time to step into the throw...

YoungHeezy Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Sam got blown pass on Matt's interception but outside of that noticeable play did very well IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Admittedly, I was watching limited coverage on NFLN, but I saw 3 plays where his responsibility caused the play to break down. Maybe when I watch the game in its entirety I'll feel different. As of now, he is starting to worry me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of now, he is starting to worry me.he and the line held up pretty good, he only had one bad play where his man got the best of him, but still held on long enough for matt to get rid of the ball... he competes hard.. and he gives our QB time to throw, as far as im concered he does his job... not on an elite level but he do his job tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I agree with you madman. Our line was solid and Baker was not half bad at all. I always, for some reason, watch Baker on every drop back.I usually watch him too, although I am watching because he usually gets beat and is gonna get Ryan killed. However, he did have a pretty good game. As bad as he plays at time, he can only get better I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant11 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I was impressed with Baker, several times he dealt with James Harrison one on one. Good stuff from a much maligned left tackle going against one of the best pass rushers in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
