You do get that by the time the chip is delivered the ball is out a split second later, right? And that all the chip really has to do is either force the pass-rusher back the other way/prevent him from rushing more downfield, protecting the Tackle's outside shoulder? A chip doesn't have to be devastating. All it has to do is force the rusher to change direction or slow him down. Baker got the ball out in under 3 seconds anyway. DT couldn't get a sack on those snaps.
