Either you know or you don't?! No himming and hawingMost of the sacks came only after Diaz took the defense back from Baker I believe.

Hey mack, elite talent isn't essential for an elite defense! Ask wisconsin, michigan!...etcIt's just one game.. it happens to every team. Turning the ball over 5 times in your own territory is putting your defense in a terrible position. We constantly had to ask the defense to bail us out. Honestly that defense didn't have the talent to be a top 20 unit and they still played a great season. Our fan base expected to elite unit last season when there wasn't one elite talent on that defense outside of Rousseau playing his first season ever as a DE. Pickney,Hill,Finley, Bethel and Bandy all were not drafted. Shaq was a 4th Rounder and Garvin was a 6th.
Garvin actually had about the same amount sacks as he did in 2018. And go look at garvin numbers from the mid point of 2018 through last year. He was just average at bestPart of the fewer sacks could also be because of a down year from Garvin and that seemed more effort related rather than scheme.
He never took the defense. Baker was still on the sideline calling plays even after diaz commentsMost of the sacks came only after Diaz took the defense back from Baker I believe.
Wisconsin and Michigan constantly put defensive talent in the NFLHey mack, elite talent isn't essential for an elite defense! Ask wisconsin, michigan!...etc
That doesn't mean its elite! And, i disagree with you on constantly!!Wisconsin and Michigan constantly put defensive talent in the NFL
Honestly, the only game that I could say the defense was BAD was Lousiville and it didn't matter because Jarren Williams was sober enough to toss 6 touchdowns.You can criticize Baker, but the reality is that the defense was still good enough to win at least 9, and likely 10+ games.
Since Manny has been here, we've yet to have an offense that didn't under-perform. This defense will look even better when we have an offense that doesn't turn the ball over, doesn't go 3-and-out as often as we have, and can score on par with at least an average statistical offense.
Wisconsin has had 10 player's on defense drafted since 2016That doesn't mean its elite! And, i disagree with you on constantly!!
I stand corrected, that's what happens when your to lazy to look up facts to support my own argument! Thanks f4 not rubbing it in my face mack!!Wisconsin has had 10 player's on defense drafted since 2016
Michigan has had 19 players on defense drafted since 2016
Patkes replacementready for Winston Moss to take over next year (with Ed Reed on staff)
Diaz never called plays all season
OP is like that dude on the block that’s always trying to start sht.
Probably the intention to begin with...It’s funny as 37 responses later nobody has actually answered the original question as to how the players view Baker (unless you count the one comment made in jest about his beard being solid).
Instead and predictably it’s turned into a bash Baker fest.
