Brian Baker, a veteran defensive line coach who has spent time in both the NFL and Atlantic Coast Conference, has been named defensive line coach, the team announced Friday.

Baker served the last three seasons as defensive line coach of the St. Louis Rams after previously working for the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit

Lions and San Diego Chargers with the defensive line and linebackers.

“We are pleased to welcome Brian Baker to our coaching staff,” head coach John Fox said. “Brian is a veteran coach and excellent teacher who has

thorough knowledge of the game. We look forward to the energy and style he will bring to our club.”

And one of the biggest complaints lately from Rams fans is the slow development of Adam Carriker

*sigh*

IMO, he was overrated in the first place.

That's not to say that I'm doing cartwheels over this hire, but it has always been my contention that if a player is good, he will be good anywhere he goes as long as he fits the system. Coaches do not make players.

And the Rams had nothing else on DL, (some say the same for us next year, but it's before FA and the draft). I'm willing to withhold judgment...

Again John Fox mentions a coach as a "good teacher". Mark my words, we are going young, home grown so to speak. Don't expect any large FA signings. IMO they are having more confidence in their drafts with our new head of scouting and they will use that to build the defense.

      He has attempted 8 shootout goals in his NHL career and made 1. He is among our worst SO guys on the entire roster in terms of career stats.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By cranky · Posted

      Against Miami, the Panthers were behind by 17 in the 2nd quarter facing a 4th - 5. Young completed a 21 yard pass and they went on to score 7 on that drive. Then in the 4th, down by 4, they faced a 4th - 5 and again, he completed a 17 yard pass and they went onto score a TD for the win. He also accounted for 2 of the 3 TD's.  As I said, he got them in that mess and no doubt, Rico gets credit as well, but missing on either of those 4th down conversions hands the ball over and results in 1 or 2 less TD's giving them a loss. As you said though, that's just a small quibble. The real question is how does the FO see it?  I am guessing they see it as something to build on. I think most peope here see it as a total loss and fully expect the FO to see it that way as well. Time will tell.

      Goalie play sucks

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Kochetkov is just too streaky. TBD if Freddie is doing that too. Freddie is the more reliable goalie over his career. The Bussi kid looks like he could be a solid #2 eventually.  Just need to figure out the #1 guy. Same as almost every year. It's not talent, it's consistency and being able to step up in the playoffs.
