kingseanjohn Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 13mil/year for someone I've never heard of. Glancing at his stats, nothing stands out. I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinSting Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Versatile, fast LB, pretty good in coverage. Important dude for the defense to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Way too high for Baker... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trentwannabe Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 That seems pricey. Especially if I’m biased and compare it to the Milano deal. But he’s obviously someone Flores wants for his defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s obviously someone Flores wants for his defense. Last year was Baker's prove-it year, he responded with 7 sacks. And the guy doesn't even rush the passer full-time, he drops back into coverage quite a bit. His rush/sack rate must be really good, not that I know any org that tracks such an obscure stat. With run-stuffing LB Benardrick McKinney acquired via trade, it could free up Baker (who is weak against the run) to do even more pass rushing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Isn’t he absolutely washed vs the run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnobili Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 i mean, i have liked what the dolphins have been doing last 2-3 years. but this is a weird one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 This is a pass rush/coverage signing. Run stopping, I think you can tend to find guys easier. But Baker can cover well and he proved last season in somewhat limited rushes, he can get to the QB. That's an asset for any team. It's actually a good signing.

He's a good pass rusher and cover LB but is a huge liability in the running game. Not a fan of this extension at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 He's better than Elandon "garbage fire" Roberts, at least.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
