It seems LSU’s new defensive coordinator has a disdain for a certain breed of dog. [autotag]Blake Baker[/autotag] has a new motto for the defense. He doesn’t want any poodles.
These days people like to say a certain player has “that dog in them” if they are a talented player. I guess that term does not apply when it comes to poodles.
For Baker, a poodle stands for lack of physicality or trying to show up your teammate. He is big on reading players body language and if your language is off, you are going to get pulled from the game. I guess in that sense, a hurt dog howls.
Baker makes his return to LSU as the defensive coordinator after serving under the same role at Missouri last season. He inherits a defense that had a lot of issues with the secondary last fall but still has a lot of talent. Also, [autotag]Harold Perkins[/autotag] is one of the best players in the country and I think this will be a breakout year for him.
"We don't want poodles."
