It's like none of you watch football.

Assessing things in a total vacuum and just reading stats

Do you know how demoralizing it has to be for our offense to finally score against tough conference competition just for our defense to lay down and immediately lose all that momentum on 75 yard TD drives?

It's happened an absurd amount of time

....and you still find a way to blame the DC who held the opposing team 10 point through 2.5 quarters and under 80 yards rushing
None of what you said disproves the OP.

Plain and Simple when was the last time a Baker defense got a Stop when they really needed one at the end of a half or game? Statistically good but damn it reminds me of Chavis!! At least Arandas D's could get a stop when they needed one!

Terribly overrated because he is white and has a cool nickname

He got outcoached by Joe Sloan. Let that sink in.

He’s not as bad as posters think but he’s also nowhere near someone who should be the highest paid DC in the game.

It stunned the senses. It was absurdly easy for Bama. How is Baker the guy?

Agreed 100! Reminds a lot of John Chavis. Statistically always has good Defenses but can never seem to get a stop when needed against anybody with a pulse. Prime example last week. People will yell that they held Bama under 300yds but Bama made every play they needed to when they needed and he did not have any answers.

It’s like he’s Belicheck when the offense stalls and Matt House when the offense breaks through and gives us the lead. That 5 play scoring drive from bama after we took the lead was the most baffling thing I’ve ever seen.


When players blow assignments, it’s on the coordinator. Absolutely. Makes perfect sense.

Was downvoted for making this exact post. Baker’s defense has excelled against bad QBs but struggles in key moments and against good teams.

While the Bama result is not on Baker, you have a great point.


I agree with this. And to add to the OP, what makes it so frustrating is that they play lights out at times. The stats are good and they look amazing at all 3 levels at times. But when it matters most they buckle.
