It's true that Bartee should have INTs by now. But if a CBs play were judged simply on INTs, Dexter McCleon would still be a good one. Bartee is bigger, faster and a better tackler than most CBs, and I think he's a decent and improving [not great] player. I expect a FA CB to be brought in this offseason to replace him as starter and relegate him to nickle. However, I don't think that player should be Baxter.
Gary Baxter is a poor CB on a great defense. If he played on our lousy defense he would be absolutely horrible, IMO. I was at the Balt-Tenn playoff game last January - my best friend is a big Ravens fan with season-tix etc. Baxter was woeful in that game. If it wasn't for Orlando Brown and his ridiculous personal fouls, Baxter would have been the biggest scapegoat in that game.
We need an upgrade at CB, but Baxter ain't it, IMO.
JMHO, of course.
