The wit and wisdom of Brian Baker

[Mr. Scot]

Quotes from DL Coach Brian Baker in the morning minicamp session...

_________________________________________________

(during a drill) "I thought you were defensive linemen. What are you doing?"

(watching the guys hit the sled) "Guys, it's a blocking sled. It doesn't hit back."

(to Greg Hardy) "Get your eyes up! Don't run with your eyes down! See what's in front of you!"

(after a badly executed defensive scrimmage play) "Follow the ball! FOLLOW THE BALL!"

(another drill) "This is supposed to be a pass rush drill. Where is the pass rush?"

(in a very exasperated tone) "Can somebody please get off a block?!"

(yet another drill) "Look at the target. See the target. Hit the target!'

(said more than once, loudly) "Go! GO! GOOOOOOOO!!!"

(best of the day) "You're tired, huh? Well, you're tired because you're FAT!!!"

Should be funny to see if he gets any soundbytes when NFL Network covers the TC.

[Mr. Scot]

I try to watch as many areas as I can, but when Baker's around it's hard not to pay attention to him.

[carolinapanther4life]

The last quote is by far the best. lol

[Mr. Scot]

I didn't really see who that was directed toward.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say Ed Johnson. He was the target a lot today.

[King]

I'd love to know who the fat line was directed at.

Nice quotes. It's not even TC and he's on their ass. lol

[PhillyB]

i lol'd at the last one

[CatMan72]

I remember Baker yelling at someone to go get a blue jersey (which is what the offense was wearing) if they just want to block (I think it was directed at Charles Johnson).

i think it would be more helpful to tell them what they're doing wrong and how to improve their game rather than just say they're doing crappy. is he a demotivational speaker or a coach?

[89panthersfreak34]

while it is funny, we actually need him of all coaches to push the players like this. all of our d-lineman are young or inexperienced

he'll teach in TC. i think he was just trying to get them use to the speed of training camp and kind of give them a taste of what to expect. should be an interesting camp this year!

I doubt the players took it personal.
