Brian Baker Ball Quotations

Pat's impact is that you can't just double Kevin anymore and single-block the other guy. Pat gives us some swagger against the run. He's determined that no one will run the ball on us because of him. Guys buy into that and start having high expectations for themselves, and I think that helps the whole defense.

I thought last game certainly was his best performance, especially in terms of pass rush. I think he's still learning the league, obviously. Heck, I'll be saying that until midseason probably, maybe even the end of the season. But I think his conditioning is getting a little better; he's getting in a little more football shape.
