a pick and 2 pass breakups last week, 1.5 sacks on the year and 25 tackles. one of the best at his age, shame he's on a 1-3 team
30 and still flying around, 11 tackles and a sack vs seattle. cardinals needed every bit of it.
Baker remains the heartbeat of this secondary. He can close space in a hurry, thump in the run game and still make the coverage rotation work behind him. The 120-tackle season is a reminder that his motor has not slipped. Arizona needs him healthy because his voice and versatility make everyone else's job cleaner.
Strengths: Rare tackling activity for a defensive back, quick trigger downhill, coverage range and proven leadership. He can play the deep middle, come down into the box and bring real urgency to every snap.
Weaknesses: His all-out style asks a lot of his body, and a defense leaning too heavily on his cleanup ability can expose structural problems. At this stage, keeping him fresh matters as much as finding splash plays.
