Otton's not good. He's okay. Not even on Gray's level. His best attribute as far as I can tell is that he has big soft hands. He's not a good blocker. He doesn't run crisp routes.
Rashaad White is not a good RB. He's a better-than-average receiving RB. Terrible runner between the tackles.
Tb's starting OL has only played together for 3 games, iirc. Rookie C. RT is probably not as good as ours in pass-pro. Maybe a little better run-blocker.
And until about three games ago, TB's run game was bottom third. About when they decided to make Bucky the actual running RB. Problem is, he's a rook, so he's learning to pass-pro.
And TB had the 31st ranked run game last season. But Baker found a way to win 10 games (including playoffs) anyway. Should've been 11, but Bowles' defense literally shit their pants at the end of the HOU game.
Baker isn't elite, but he's been playing like it for awhile now, excepting the DEN and BAL games. If Bowles could either be better at in-game decisions or better at being DC, they'd probably be 6-2 right now.
Baker will probably be dangerous next week, almost no matter who his receivers are. He'll probably throw at least a pair of TDs. Trouble is, TB's defense is bottom 5 or whatever. They can't stop anybody, and in the biggest situations they completely shit themselves.
We'll win, but Baker won't just turtle up or shit down his leg like Dak is doing tonight. He's going to try and make it a dogfight.
