I'm going to go through Baker's touchdowns and see what TB does so well (score Tuddies).
#1 - Fade to Mike Evans. It was a great thrown ball and Mike Evans is handfighting the entire way. Definition of 50/50. First read, good throw, mike evans.
#2 - Chris Godwin on a little out on the 4 yard line. Defense leaves him alone. First read, good throw, TD.
#3 - Jalen McMillan on a deep ball beats the safeties to a spot. First read again -- baker is throwing when Jalen is covered but the defender sprints off of him. First read, perfect throw, TD.
#4 - Fade to Mike Evans -- the first throw where Baker doesn't really hit a good spot but Mike makes a perfect move towards the ball. Once again first read.
#5 - Is baker ever not throw touchdowns on a second read? He watched Chris Godwin the entire time. A really nice and easy throw for a 41 yard wide open TD.
#6 - A fade route to Chris Godwin. Godwin high points it in the endzone. Ugh, these plays are so good. First read.
#7 - Another near goal line play. Really great play concept as the defenders bite on the outside receivers diving towards the middle and let's Mike Evans playing in the slot wide open to the left. First read again.
#8 - Baker knows he's going to Trey Palmer immediately but tries to look off the safety who doesn't bite. Sends a dart into the hands of Palmer who is covered like butter. His best throw yet.
#9 - Mike Evans wide open in the middle of the field while baker rolls out. Easiest tuddy I've seen yet.
#10 - Baker just stares at Mike Evans until he gets open and then dots him up. I'm not joking either, there are no reads on this play. He stares at him for 3 seconds before throwing.
#11 - Another rollout near the goal line. Absolutely dots Sterling Shepard in the endzone. Another readless TD but like the Palmer TD, this was baker dotting it.
#12 - Another first read throw (ignoring a more open TE in the middle) and dots Chris Godwin. A great throw.
#13 - Sean Tucker escapes for 36 yards off a designed short pass.
#14 - Chris Godwin escapes for 45 yards off a designed short pass.
#15 - Play breaks down on the 8 yard line and Baker moves around in the pocket before his TE is open. He throws with all arm and gets it out quick. Impressive TD.
#16 - This is one of those TDs that's like -- if only we had that oline. Baker gets enough time and Mike Evans reacts to a soft spot in the defense to grab the TD. Evan's understanding of the game and their chemistry is outstanding. Maybe the second of example of Baker having to read things.
#17 - Dump to Racahad White for 11 yards for a designed play.
------- Ok, that's enough baker now.
Watching these TDs I have a few takeaways.
-- Tampa Bay's offensive scheme is awesome. They really seem to focus on a receiver who will get the ball and everything else is decoy as Baker rarely looks around on these plays.
-- Mike Evans deserves every dollar he makes.
-- Their oline is solid.
-- Baker is throwing great balls. I don't want to give too much credit to scheme, these are well thrown balls. These don't happen without Baker playing top level football.
