To be fair, they were tanking.

Has had 4 different HCs. He needs stability in the organization

But you are spot on here. Their HC’s preferred style of play (heavy on run, play action deep or short passes) doesn’t really lend itself to a guy getting a lot of big passing games. And when you build your offensive line to go heavy on the run with pass protection taking the backseat, it’s harder for you to protect your qb in obvious passing situations when you’re behind.

Pretty sure Baker had the third or fourth highest Sack% in the league.
