Brian Baldinger, aka “Baldy.”

He’s on fire this morning, breaking down the Eagles loss with with fervor and passion.

Baldy was an offensive lineman during his playing days, so he’s very easily trusted when evaluating line play. That was the focus of three video clips posted this morning on Twitter, beginning with this one:

.@Patriots @Eagles this is so aggravating to watch . Go find a 7 man blocking sled and come off the ball and hit that sled for sun up to sun down. This is ????? You full in the blank. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/A1aJgQtHxF

“This is shocking, the Patriots are standing here, they’re standing in a six-man front.. would you just come off the football and knock him into the dirt?”

He rips Dallas Goedert for half-assing a block attempt while noting that the line isn’t moving anybody at all.

“You’re on the two-yard line, you brought in Andre Dillard, two tight ends, can you just run a simple combo block? This is not how you run a combo block, this is just awful. This is unacceptable.”

That was a pretty hairy play. Thought Miles Sanders might not make it out of the end zone there. Barely avoided a safety.

Next clip:

.@patriots v @eagles on first play of 3rd QTR. No need to watch anymore of this. #Patriots whipped the #Birds at the LOS. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/z85MJfBSAZ

“This is terrible right here, between Big V and Brooks… Everybody is lower on the Patriots, that’s what’s called being physical.”

Yeah, uh… not the best blocking right there on that play.

Next clip:

.@Eagles on 2-6 try to run a “switch route” between WR/TE. This is awful. Can you telegraph to the @Patriots any sooner what you are doing? Are they coached to run this like they are in quicksand? #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/4FK5r0JZx7

“This is not a route. Who is coaching these wide receivers? It’s a joke! …The whole thing is terrible”

Hard to argue there. They can’t run routes, can’t separate, can’t make plays, and can’t catch 50/50 balls. It’s all good otherwise.

Final clip:

.@eagles offense is hard to watch and harder to understand. Here are 2 shiny examples. @patriots defense hardly broke a sweat. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/ZV1C3F2yME

“This ball ends up six yards out of bounds, he almost interferes with Brady’s warm up over there. The offense is just so bizarre. It’s hard to watch.”

Agree with Baldy. It’s hard to watch.

Excellent series of #BaldysBreakdowns, probably the best of the season thus far.
