FALLING

1. Sam Baker, Falcons offensive tackle. The jury’s been out on this guy pretty much since he was drafted because of health issues. But Baker was healthy Sunday and he was called for a key penalty and didn’t do much as a blocker. He’s really going to have to step up if he truly wants to be the franchise left tackle that was drafted to protect franchise quarterback Matt Ryan.

2. Matt Moore, Panthers quarterback. He threw three interceptions against the Giants. He practiced Wednesday after suffering a concussion. Just hoping he’s not risking anything by perhaps rushing to return quickly because Jimmy Clausen is waiting in the wings.

3. Mike Mularkey, Falcons offensive coordinator. Yeah, the Steelers have a great defense. But when you’ve got Ryan, Tony Gonzalez, Michael Turner and Roddy White, you should be able to get into the end zone.

[Radical]

Sam Baker against multi-Pro Bowl/All Pro DPOY James Harrison is not a good match-up, at all. He makes most LTs in the NFL look bad, and Baker simply isn't ready for that yet.
