IrishFalco Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 After that game versus the Eagles, I think Baker realized just how bad he has been playing.Maybe he develops a killer instinct and improves he was worth the 1st round pick.Although in my opinion, the protection issues are a result of poor play from all of our O-Line.

IrishFalco Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 I think we are stuck with him, till at least the 2013 draft.But at that point, we may need a DE too. So we go....LT or DR for our next 1st round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durrtay Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 i say put in svitek, give the kid a chance, can't be too much worse, right? right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl927 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I hate being so hard on Baker - I really do. He seems like a decent guy. That said, his play has been unacceptable. He seemed to set high and get himself pushed around on passing downs.Run blocking in man coverage is tough for someone like Baker. I get that. Pass protection, however, is vital. If you lack the physical gifts to compete, you're gonna have to step it up and play with unmatched intensity.And that's what Baker needs. A fire under his tail.

atljbo Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 This is a make or break year for Baker... 2012 OT draft class could be a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrtay Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 put bierman in there, he's got the intensity atleast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birds_till_death Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 This is a make or break year for Baker... 2012 OT draft class could be a good oneTrue, but we won't have our first pick until number 64 in the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdz4i Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 True, but we won't have our first pick until number 64 in the draft if ryan makes it through the season. at the rate the o line is playing, he will be lucky to make it to the bye.

So we go....LT or DR for our next 1st round pick.Well it was the Bears line, but I can't remember his name to save my life right now #90 looked like a player. I didn't see him at all in the Eagles game though, but hopefully with another year of progress we won't have that impending hole to fill. Sidbury that's it.

Falcon Fanatic Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Benching him would probably be a better wake up call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Don™ Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 TD always seems one step ahead of the usual thinking...I think he's got something in his mind to address the LT position.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl927 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Go ahead and laugh, but Bosher might just come out this Sunday and beast a punt a whole 25 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyicefalcon Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 All the criticism in the world isn't going to make his arms longer or develop lateral quickness...A turnstile thats what he is...........I see zero passion in him. If I was Ryan I would sincerely ask Coach Smith to get his arse benched !! What about Svitek? Can he do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyDmx Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 One part isn't greater than it's sum. The whole offensive line needs to step up it's play and intensity in order for our offense to fly (pun intended). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaJoe Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I think Baker will embrace the criticism.If only.. he had arms long enough to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidbury that's it.Sidbury makes something happen almost every time he gets on the field. He needs to get more snaps imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
