Chris Baker: Haslett critics are misinformed
"I’d tell them that they don’t really know what they’re talking about man," Baker responded. "We have a good defense; we were just put in bad situations at certain times.

But we’re gonna grind hard this year, and hope everything turns out to be a lot better than it was last year."
