I was thinking the same thing. At least start out as a position coach in the NFL so he can teach his methods to receivers coming out of the draft on how to run routes. He could be a gold mine of information for DK Metcalf, but make no mistake, there's a world of difference between the two. Size is #1. DK has a lot of ballast to swing around and so he's gonna have to be QUICK enough to make these cuts and tweak his routes midstream. Baldwin can teach him, just a question of whether that was ever in the cards in Doug's mind.
GOLDEN STATE GROWER you put in alot of effort to show up in a video literally showing why DB is a great route runner just to say hes trash. hold dis L chief
Doug Baldwin is a perfect example of how less physically talented players can be elite. He openly admits his weaknesses and doesn't try to force himself to play to his weaknesses. He's a perfect how average-above average athletes can become elite at their sport.
I mean he's a pretty elite athlete. He can only do this to people covering him because he's quicker than them. Quicker than other elite athletes. If you're just an average to slightly above average athlete I'm afraid you have no chance in the NFL. No matter how smart you play the other guy will more than make up for it by being the superior athlete.
Not really. He is physically talented. He's just a smaller and thus more agile athlete. That type of athlete has different pros and cons than a larger, more powerful, but less agile athlete. One is not inherently more or less talented than the other, they're just different types. Frank gore is 5' 9", like a lot of running backs, usually the smallest guys on the team. They're not less "physically talented," they just have different pros and cons than larger ones.
Diego Hemken I see your point, but physically compare Julian Edelman and Tyreek Hill, who would you say that both of them are equal in physical talent(Speed, Quickness, Vertical, etc.)? Doug Baldwin went undrafted for a reason, but he worked hard enough on things like route running and his hands and used the physical gifts he was given(Agility and Quickness) to be a top receiver.
Yeah if he was on the Patriots nobody would know about Edelman or Welker. Baldwin is like the Jerry rice of slot receivers except he doesn't have the numbers since he's in a conservative offense. Just look at what Tate has done since leaving and we kept Baldwin because he's better.
Fellas, did anyone else hear the man tell us he keeps a personally documented, yearly portfolio, on every single db in the nfl? There is more than one reason this man is good, but...who the hell has time, energy, and the mental organization it takes to keep a flipping portfolio on every single one of his opponents. The dude could have been a freaking nuclear engineer instead.
Right, its insane. He probably does get help from some of the assistants though. But i feel that if kept up with it, adding more info shouldn't take too much time.
Yeah I love hearing these smart athletes like Baldwin and rondo in the nba talk about their routines. They're constantly trying to use their brains to beat their opponents
@@hectormejia5090 Right, like if you think about it. Baldwin turned someones strength into a weakness. Like knowing that Peterson is really good at being physical, forcing peterson to be the physical player he is and used that to get himself open for a touchdown catch is insane. Sorry if I didn't explain that well.
As a 12th man for life, I miss watching Doug Baldwin out on that field. Watching Dougie B get off the line of scrimmage and run routes is a thing of beauty
Sarang Shravan not really, it takes 100s of hours of concentration and technique to be able to do what randy moss did in his career, it’s not really that simple
Haven’t really been the biggest Doug Baldwin fan since he was on the Seahawks but god damn that is the definition of a pro football player. Studied these opponents in such detail that he was in total control off the line with some of the best Jam Corners there are in the NFL . That was impressive🔥🔥
Videos like this is great. It shows athletes breaking down the techniques on how they are able to perform at a high level. Understanding your opponents is very important. What Doug Baldwin did to Josh Norman was classic.
@@bethevoice3 Decent is being generous. Being fair, he was injured week 1 and has been working with injuries all season, but he hasn't been targeted much since coming back.
Rj Bertram yes, hasn’t been targeted as much. Seahawks switched to run heavy offense this year but when they do target him you can bet your house he’s catching it
Lol every cornerback and literally every football player knows these moves. It just happens so quick and random you won't know what to do before its too late, and you even know it's coming and still can't stop it
I agree with the above comment. Every opposing defensive coordinator, defensive backs coach and, defensive back already knows what Baldwin has in his bag of tricks. It's no secret. And that's why he's even more talented. Because the defense knows what Baldwin wants to do before he does it, but it happens anyway lmao.
Fellas, did anyone else hear the man tell us he keeps a personally documented, yearly portfolio, on every single db in the nfl? There is more than one reason this man is good, but...who the hell has time, energy, and the mental organization it takes to keep a flipping portfolio on every single one of his opponents. The dude could have been a freaking nuclear engineer instead.
The fact that he keeps a portfolio of every DB's breakdown just is crazy. I'm not sure if it's a common thing for WR's to do, but that's just pure intelligence to have that in mind and to be able to go back and look at over the years how DB's have evolved so he can adjust accordingly. Dough is criminally underrated, even as a Saints fan I'll admit that. Wish we had him on our team along side Thomas. That would be a killer combo
I think that SB team was strong all around precisely to this THE STUDY room with Pete. Sherm b doing all this film study on his opponents. My respect for Doug though, to come from undraft to the one of the best is truly amazing story
DK isn’t really a similar kind of receiver though, Baldwin is all about quickness and getting seperation but DK is about speed and strength and trying to get jumpballs
He’s GREAT because he mastered his technique, and fundamentals he ain’t the biggest nor the fastest .. he can catch of course but he uses what he has and knows and that’s what makes him elite great overall
Quickness is the most important skill to have in football. If you are quicker the other persons talents then become liabilities. I played at Univ. of Houston and I saw it every day.
And when they won the super bowl people said “ pedestrian receivers “ more like unknown. Tate and Baldwin have turned out to be amazing route runners and tackle breaking machines
So much respect for boldwin, always prefer a skill and hard work over talent. We need more content like this so folks can respect the game for what it is, a chess match over just a bunch of guys slamming into each other.
Always respect the underdog. So many players and commentators get caught up in the idea of undrafted players or low draft picks being not good, useless, or even pedestrian. It's a trap. The reason those players are on the field is because of their heart, their grit, their desire to succeed. Great career, Doug. You earned everything and were never given anything but a chance.
Most underrated receiver in the NFL ... Straight savage !!! Seahawks arent my team but mad respect for this guy .. Hes super smart and got that ring so you cant hate on him.....except if your norman and got.your ankles broken and pride shredded..... Ha !!!!
Doug Baldwin is litterally the best wide reciever in this day in age im suprised this doesnt have more views becaus ehe taught himself you can tell he coaches himself!!
That's why I call him Dougie Fresh. He is one of the best all-time off the line of scrimmage. That move he used to take Norman out of his jockstrap is probably my favorite move. Norman was reaching for a ghost. #89 is THE most underrated receiver in the league. That boy good!
Now that was adult conversation. He was a technician of the highest order. He does not have HOF numbers, but should feel nothing but pride for all that he accomplished. I hope he takes talents and uses them for the public good !!!!!
Take notes kids. Class is in session with DB89
Seattle Seahawks wtf
Seattle Seahawks I will
Lol hey guys
How does he teach this if he can’t perform he’s str8 GARBAGE
👍👍👍
My god that move he put on Josh Norman talk about an ego killer lol
Whoa!!!💨💨💨 he was 10 yards away, and Josh Norman wasn't even in the picture oh, he was still at the line of scrimmage! Wow
You should watch when deandre hopkins hurts norman in practice with a move he did. Norman probably had two sprained ankles 😂
>"that move he put on Josh Norman talk about an ego killer"
Couldn't happen to a better person.
(To Add) He scores too.. 😂
Josh never was the same when he left Panthers
Doug needs to be a future head coach, extremely talented, extremely intelligent, and an absolute class act.
I was thinking the same thing. At least start out as a position coach in the NFL so he can teach his methods to receivers coming out of the draft on how to run routes. He could be a gold mine of information for DK Metcalf, but make no mistake, there's a world of difference between the two. Size is #1.

Brian E dk will be just fine but still gets to play with Lockett who's been a polished wr
Now that he’s retired hopefully he goes into broadcasting
@@odh3424 He should be a wr coach for the seahawks, maybe gets dk to run better routes
@@ThanhSneezingShow terry McLaurin*
Most underrated wide receiver in the nfl and also the best slot wide receiver in the nfl
Old news
WAS. WAS. he ain't near the best anymore
Deadly NFriendly he’s having a down year due to injury he’ll be back next season better than ever
Jarvis landry is the best slot
Lol think ur forgetting about Keenan Allen.
ive been trying to tell my friends that Doug Baldwin is an all time underrated route runner. Now i got another video to show em😎
He’s trashhhhh

@@tommydashed4205 Explain Anquan Bolden then.
If Baldwin had developed under a 'pass first' team you'd hear his name everyday.
Yeah if he was on the Patriots nobody would know about Edelman or Welker. Baldwin is like the Jerry rice of slot receivers except he doesn't have the numbers since he's in a conservative offense. Just look at what Tate has done since leaving and we kept Baldwin because he's better.
He deserves those Super Bowl rings. Perhaps no one else on the team would have them without him (and Russell) too.
Sadly Pete Carroll is stoopid
we have no line till this day
Along with Russ. Pete carroll just sticks to the ground game
Just the way he talks about the game and the film study is amazing.
People highly underestimate the work that athletes put in on and off the field.
avery465 some athletes...the majority are definitely not like this.
@@Mason-is4mr Truth. Some be in the strip club 24/7
Title should be: 'Doug Baldwin Analyzes his Route Running Technique vs. Top Cornerbacks and Josh Norman'
yeah lol norman aint elite hes fkn trash
😂😂😂😂💯
Norman’s trash but numbers don’t lie
Nope ! That’s because he commits a penalty rather than giving up his touchdown, just look at what he did to Julio Jones a few weeks ago
Facts he’s so bad always getting cooked by other receivers
This was well made. Props to whomever was behind this!
The NFL......
The individuals doing the editing, filming, etc.

He did go to Stanford lol
Well, they fo pay him millions of dollars. The question is why doesn't every player do that. :) DB89 ONE OF THE BEST slot WRs of all time.

nobody:
doug baldwin: i’m gathering information
Came here after the news of his release. Great player!
Me too!
💔
underrated Wide reciver
He's so smart wow. I wanna see randy moss do this
he didn''t need to. doug explains why he is doing what he's doing.
Sarang Shravan not really, it takes 100s of hours of concentration and technique to be able to do what randy moss did in his career, it’s not really that simple
@@sarangshravan ikr
Moss was one of the greatest athletes at the wr position..he can out run any db and out jump them too..simple
@@sarangshravan Nah, people love to say that. He could run the route tree.
Haven’t really been the biggest Doug Baldwin fan since he was on the Seahawks but god damn that is the definition of a pro football player. Studied these opponents in such detail that he was in total control off the line with some of the best Jam Corners there are in the NFL . That was impressive🔥🔥

5:25 lmao can’t stop watching it *ankles gone*
Great video! Would love to see more :)
Openly showed and told his weakness but can't still stop him. How amazing this dude.
Keep in mind he's been injured all year this year and he's still been solid
I have him on fantasy bro hes been decent
GO HAWKS
@@bethevoice3 Decent is being generous.
Being fair, he was injured week 1 and has been working with injuries all season, but he hasn't been targeted much since coming back.
Tell 'em doc. Ppl don't get that.
Rj Bertram yes, hasn’t been targeted as much. Seahawks switched to run heavy offense this year but when they do target him you can bet your house he’s catching it
what a great video!
Doug... STOP GIVING OUT YOUR SECRETS BRO!!! :) Dude is unreal talented!!
Michael Cahn Seriously.
No secret it isn't even special what he is doing. Which is why they always say Offense has the advantage
Lol every cornerback and literally every football player knows these moves. It just happens so quick and random you won't know what to do before its too late, and you even know it's coming and still can't stop it

Doug Baldwin was smart wit it too. He learned to be patient while still being able to get open quickly. He created route technician sway 💯
This Pats fan has alot of respect for Doug Baldwin. Played hard every play.
Oh god please let him be willing to teach DK all this stuff 1 on 1.
DK isn’t really a similar kind of receiver though, Baldwin is all about quickness and getting seperation but DK is about speed and strength and trying to get jumpballs
Doug Baldwin has been Released!
@@WallStreetEnT he didnt pass his physical, oh well.
@@Dn-qn6hh but he will
Baldwin is going to retire and it wouldn't surprise me if he becomes a receivers coach for Seattle within the next year or two
Miss this dude! One of my favorite WR’s all time!
I’m gonna miss this guy😭😭😭
Dude is an amazing receiver, very underrated, imo. Highly intelligent.
"I'm a basketball player." that's the Filipino in him talking
Bruh
Not wrong. As a Filipino, basketball has such a strong presence and influence on Filipino culture
I'm usually a running back highlights type of fan but I want to watch more wide-out maneuvers like these to get open. Really cool.
Before I started watching these analysis videos, I had no idea how much went into the preparation these players put in. It's absolutely incredible.
I've always wanted to watch the players explain their strategies this was awesome
That was one of the best conversations I’ve seen. Brilliant break down 🔥
This is incredible! Please do more of it!
doug baldwin is just a different type of football genius
Another incredible breakdown, crazy detail and perfection to his craft
Allen Iverson always used to say he was a football player at heart
Very important video for any athlete it just shows exactly how film doesn’t lie. That good ole eye in the sky
Damn this was impressive. Mad props to such a cerebral player who found success in a league dominated by freak athletes
I mean Doug Baldwin is still athletic has hell
How does a young football player not absorb videos like these? Man if we had these resources back in the day...
5:25 to review this magnificent :D
This is a good series. Need more of this
He doesn’t get enough credit as a receiver
I'm not gonna lie...I was avoiding this video because it was Doug Baldwin but it kept popping up on my feed so I finally gave in. Definitely worth it!
School's in session. Fantastic piece on all levels.
MORE OF THESE PLEASE!
Thee most underrated receiver! Love you, DB!
Good stuff, makes u respect Baldwin's game even more...
Very well spoken!
Playing db is such a hard job, respect to doug
Manny being Manny NOOOO LMAOOOO BRUHHHH I don’t think you need to re-read the title...😂😂😂
Bob Thebb-Illder no all I see was Doug mixing these dbs
I feel fortunate to have listened to that, as a chiefs fan, thank you for posting this video.
I just fell in love w him as a wr.
OrionTallica78 unfortunately after his retirement
Student of the game, Loving this content.
Love his route running. So smooth and shifty. Dude has some mad skills.
This was fun to watch, thanks n look forward to more
He’s GREAT because he mastered his technique, and fundamentals he ain’t the biggest nor the fastest .. he can catch of course but he uses what he has and knows and that’s what makes him elite great overall
Quickness is the most important skill to have in football. If you are

Dougy Fresh!!!! Great Video! GO HAWKS!!! PLAYOFFS HERE WE COME!!!
And when they won the super bowl people said “ pedestrian receivers “ more like unknown. Tate and Baldwin have turned out to be amazing route runners and tackle breaking machines
12th man will miss you Doug 😢heal up💚
Most definitely one of my favorite receivers
So much respect for boldwin, always prefer a skill and hard work over talent. We need more content like this so folks can respect the game for what it is, a chess match over just a bunch of guys slamming into each other.
Doug Baldwin and Chris Harris are so similar with WR & CB. Underrated Monsters
Doug is the man for sure!!! His work ethic is crazy lol
Love this! More game film analysis from the player’s POV please. Both offense & defense
More plz ty
Cerebral on and off the field. A great role model for all the young bucks comin up.
Always respect the underdog. So many players and commentators get caught up in the idea of undrafted players or low draft picks being not good, useless, or even pedestrian. It's a trap. The reason those players are on the field is because of their heart, their grit, their desire to succeed.
Great career, Doug. You earned everything and were never given anything but a chance.
People seriously need to start showing Doug Baldwin the respect that he deserves
My God I love me some Doug B! Just insane to watch him all these years, then to get an inside look like this, go Hawks!
That's incredible... I want to see more DL and MLB versions
Doug is going to be a great receiver coach someday. God bless him and his early retirement
Ladies and gentlemen, the league’s most underrated reciever
Going to miss him, class act.
That route/catch/footwork against Patrick Peterson was fiiillllthy
True professional, he needs a lecture series.
I have two favorite off the line players Baldwin and Adams....both underrated too!!
Most underrated receiver in the NFL ... Straight savage !!! Seahawks arent my team but mad respect for this guy .. Hes super smart and got that ring so you cant hate on him.....except if your norman and got.your ankles broken and pride shredded..... Ha !!!!
I’m a Cowboys fan, but DB got mad skills. He makes it easier for his QB and that is all you can ask for.
astonishing hands and tight routes like Biletnikoff,
and even better...
moves like a leopard, compact and smooth and powerful
DB89, one of the most underrated and smartest receivers in the NFL
Doug Baldwin is litterally the best wide reciever in this day in age im suprised this doesnt have more views becaus ehe taught himself you can tell he coaches himself!!
That's why I call him Dougie Fresh. He is one of the best all-time off the line of scrimmage. That move he used to take Norman out of his jockstrap is probably my favorite move. Norman was reaching for a ghost. #89 is THE most underrated receiver in the league. That boy good!
I watch this Video before every gameday or any important football event when going to bed the night before.
Wish me luck guys
The battle between the WR and DB is truly an art.
Dude really is serious. I'm a new fan because of this video!
Such a smart player
Baldwin is seriously my favorite Seahawks WR ever ... he was half ninja - half ballerina
I've never seen another WR with footwork like his
Now that was adult conversation. He was a technician of the highest order. He does not have HOF numbers, but should feel nothing but pride for all that he accomplished. I hope he takes talents and uses them for the public good !!!!!
That was some meaty stuff there. Give us more!!!!!
Thank you Doug!!
Undrafted out of Stanford. If you have the desire and work ethic you can make it happen
More of these!!
Doug Baldwin is the most underrated receiver ever.
