atljbo Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 5 minutes ago - Coach Mike Smith said LT Sam Baker has been improving the last two weeks. That's a turnaround, given that Baker's play was sluggish at the start of the season. "I think he's feeling healthier," Smith said. "He started the season and wasn't 100 percent. But he's feeling healthier and playing better." Falcons RapidReportsThis is my problem with Baker... The healthy Baker and injured Baker are two totally different players... Its been this way every since his USC days... Also the Coaching Staff will never let you know when a guy is player hurt so fans wont know.This why i didnt get why he was so inconsistent/bad... He has the tools to be a LT in this league... He shown the ability when healthy... Its just the guy cant stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoTFan Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 God, if Baker can step up his game I'll be relieved though. That would really cover a big need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rai Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Last 2 games? He got mauled by Trent Cole and the Bengals have a poor pass-rush. I'm not buying it, I don't think Sam Baker can ever be a franchise LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 This right here is why we aren't getting a LT in the offseason. Logan Mankins anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely wouldn't mind him, I'd love to have him, but still - I'd rather go for a LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna be quick to credit that to Baker getting way better all of a sudden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
