The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 This sucks but it's clear that this O-Line cant protect Ryan sufficiently. I dont see Baker being moved or replaced, so the only solution to keep Ryan alive for the whole season is to put a TE over on Bakers side to help him block. And this will hinder our offense terribly on pass plays, but we have no choice.Sam Baker should be ashamed of himself. Rarely has there been 1st Round LTs bust like he has, but he is clearly on the path. We are going to have to put a TE over there to help him. Shameful.We have 14 more games (+ hopefully Playoffs) and at this rate Ryan isnt going to last 8 games. If Ryan goes down - our season goes down.

kane#7 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Its true we need to have a TE there to chip the DE at least or a RB... sad really but if we don't Matt won't last the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOCTHEFALCONFAN™ Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If Sam Baker goes out there and stinks it up again, and the coaching staff does nothing.....I'm going to be pissed even more!......SN: I'm already pissed we haven't done anything yet!

Shuswap Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Any FA LT out there decent enough to take a look at or do we even have cap room?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may as well just put Svitek in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 No, the solution is to do what they did in the fourth quarter of the eagle game the whole game, basically, rather than max protect- max out the options for Ryan and let him find them. Keep the D on it's heels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kung-Pow Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If we didn't max protect against PHI, not likely to do it against TB. Our o-line really should be able to handle them, by comparison to what they've seen in lines on CHI and PHI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharma Initiative Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I have never seen a LT that just gets worse every year. He was solid his rookie year, OK the next, somewhat bad last year, and awful this yearI think his arms are getting shorter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 We may even need Mughelli in the backfield to help protect the middle/right-side. Sad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 We may even need Mughelli in the backfield to help protect the middle/right-side. Sad...You do realize that's what Ovie is supposed to do on pass plays? pick up the blitz, help any Olineman out that needs it, then, if he's not needed, slip out into the flat as a safety value.Once Reynolds & Hawley settle into their roles, it'll be easier to hide Baker.

didz Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 All that matters is we beat the "Dream Team" with our offensive line lead by Hawley and a new starter in Reynolds. I think we will be just fine once Mcclure comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdz4i Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 if he gets abused by a rookie, he needs to be cut asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Svitek is better than SackMaker. Trust me.Reynolds is even scarier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM12 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Reggie Kelly our Svitek... someone needs to help Baker out.If Baker gets beaten up out therea against a very young Bucs line. Well that would be pretty bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 No different than what we did the latter part of last year. Look for more of those fan favorite roll outs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PensacolaFalcon Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Maybe Sam thinks LT stands for "Like a Turnstile" ...No different than what we did the latter part of last year. Look for more of those fan favorite roll outs too. I think Matt is awesome but it it just me or does a 3 legged drunk Giraffe run with more grace then Ryan? Every time I see Matt roll out or run I have to close my eyes in horror like I watching Sid bream rounding 3rd and being waved home, at least Sid knew how to slide.

Magic Man Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Max Starks is out there, and I could see him getting a long look if Baker gets abused like Tina from Ike again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A play I'd love to see if Ryan starting to roll out to his right, then stopping, turning and throwing a WR screen pass to his left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHI tried it on us two weeks ago. Vick hit Alge on that play once and got us with it in 2009 to Celek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Nite-Toker Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) What ticks me off about SB is that he does not seem to take it personal...getting abused.He plays with the emotions and blocking skills of statue(short-armed) on wheels.Show some heart Baker you're getting embarrassed....biggest liability on "O". Baker is going to end up on the highlight reel of every defender he faces if he keeps it up.Sam Baker the DL Pro-Bowl Maker...wake the eff up.
