I've been watching some film (games from recent years) and I really think this guy is in for a big year. I talked to Bob (and several elder fans who agree on Baker) tonight at the Sooner Caravan in Tulsa (very briefly) and he had nothing to say but how good Baker and Smith looked. Lewis has always been a silent contributor, IMHO. He's a ferocious hitter, he can play the nickel well, and makes great open field tackles.
As my friends from work were talking about Baker, we all compared him to JD Runnels. A guy who surely made mistakes, but when you look at what he's done right, you could hardly remember them. I thought back on Runnels, and I gotta tell ya, other than the game which we do not speak of, I never saw JD fumble, drop a pass, or collapse on a block.
Baker looked solid on ST last year, was generally speaking, always the first guy through the wall on the coverage team, recording smashing hits and tackles reminiscent of RUUUUUUU (if you can imagine RUUUUUU on ST all the time).
Naturally, I expect big things out of guys like Patrick, Brown, Kelly, Reggie, M. Walker... I just really think this guy's gonna have a great senior year. Good, cuz we're gonna need him.
P.S. another big hitter with potential star power, interchangeable as a DB or LB is Lendy Holmes.
