LB Jerome Baker

(What’s LB David Long Jr. been like to work alongside of?) – “He’s just a fun dude, he really is. He shoots gaps, he’s smart, he understands – we work well together as far as you got this or I got this. We really work well together. He’s very similar to me. He can run. He can hit. He’s smart. Any guy like that is definitely fun to work with. Off the field, we have similar personalities. We’re laid back. We do what we got to do. We crack jokes. He’s definitely fun to work with.”

(With training camp winding down, and the last preseason game coming up, what are you most excited about with the defense and the progress that you guys made?) – “What am I most excited about? It’s to hit somebody else. That’s what I’m ready to do. (laughter) I think towards the end of training camp, you have you fun practicing against other guys and do all of that. But now we’re tired of hitting the same team, so we’re ready to go against somebody else. We understand that we put in the work and it’s time to see what we can do against somebody else. We’re ready for it.”

(Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio had noted that during the preseason, sometimes the starters aren’t playing, sometimes you got twos, threes in there. But it looks like the Jaguars are going to play their starters so you get to go against a really good quarterback in Trevor Lawrence. What are your thoughts about that as a final tune-up before the regular season?) – “I’m all for it. Any chance for me to go out there and tackle and do my thing, I’m all for it. It’s going to be a fun one. Trevor is getting up there to be one of the good ones in the league, so it’s definitely going to be exciting.”
