4HCrew Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Dustin Keller while being interviewed on Sirius commented that one of the guys helping him the most has been Chris Baker. Takes alot of time to explain plays and stuff to him... Guess he is not so disgruntled after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Seems like he genuinely wants to see the situation resolved with the Jets. Good to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawngnome o-line Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 He is still practicing on the sidelines, and he told me yesterday that he was hoping to get into practice with the team sometime this weekend. He did also take time to sign autographs for kids. He isn't being a bad guy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgoguy Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I don't know why guys are so down on Baker. That kid can play. I would love to see double tight end sets with Baker and Keller. Please Jet brass, don't get rid of Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike1 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Baker is a good guy and an underrated player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Baker is an important piece of the TE puzzle. A solid rotation of Baker, Keller and Franks is what is going to make our TE's almost impossible to gameplan for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawngnome o-line Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Franks might not make the team if Baker comes into camp and does well. Remember the amount of TE's we have on the roster. You have to have Dearth on the team already, and Pociask is a strong Special Teamer. If Franks can't contribute on Special teams, he probably won't make this team.

Actually, if he's the blocker he's made out to be then he probably will. That would be very valuable for this team, especially considering we seem to be designing a ball control, run oriented offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Franks is a good red zone threat and I think it really boils down to keeping an extra WR or an extra TE. We will need one red zone threat atleast and if Henry isn't the guy then I can't see them cutting Franks regardless of his special teams skills.

lawngnome o-line Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Keller will be the endzone threat that Franks would be on other teams. This guy is the real deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keller is on the roster, and can't block for his life. Why not carry +1 TE, -1 WR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
