Like Baker Mayfield who when not playing us has been pretty bad. It's something like a 124 passer rating against us and an 80 IIRC against the rest of the NFL.

Exactly! Here’s how Adam Jones put it in his tweet: "The DBs, y'all playing catch and tackle. They must be teaching y'all that s--- too.”

To be accused of playing “catch and tackle” is an extreme insult to a defensive back. That’s like accusing an offensive lineman of whiffing on blocks on purpose. “Catch and tackle” means the defensive back ALLOWS a completion THEN makes a tackle; it’s how you play prevent defense in garbage time when you’re way ahead.
