The Ghost of Jessie Bates - WeezyBengal - 10-16-2022
Anyone else forget this guy was even on the team?
I actually saw him pull off on a tackle today. I almost spit my drink out.
For a guy that wanted to break the bank with his new contract, he's been nothing special and a ghost of himself. He hasn't really been bad per say, but where is the play making at? Step up, Jessie. This defense and team needs you!

Dax Hill has played about 1/50th of the snaps Bates has, and has been way closer to turnovers in his limited time.

Yeah if you wanna be paid too then you have to make plays. Make things happen.
RE: The Ghost of Jessie Bates - THE PISTONS - 10-16-2022
He appears to be playing to not be injured.
RE: The Ghost of Jessie Bates - Housh - 10-16-2022
He’s literally always 4 yards from making a play.
But to his credit, he’s played his deep zone so solid that no team has really tried him. That has to mean something.
Logically if checks out too with Vonn having 3 ints so far. The reason Vonn makes these plays is because teams feel they have an advantage if Vonn is the single high safety and so far he has proved them wrong

He'll earn every bit of ineffective this season thats why we won't see Dax Hill. If he thinks for one minute that this helps him become a top three paid position player in the league..... No plays No picks No game changing plays No Way!
RE: The Ghost of Jessie Bates - QueenCity - 10-16-2022
I know with CB it's a sign of respect if the QB doesn't target your assignment... but is it the same with a Safety?
His performance doesn't jump out that he warrants a top 5 contract but it's not like the defense has been trash. Our area of weakness seems to be Eli Apple and the run today.
RE: The Ghost of Jessie Bates - casear2727 - 10-16-2022
Minkah Fitzpatrick showed us all how a Top 3 safety impacts the game on opening day.

This was the first questionable game this season from Eli Apple. Guy has played well this season as a whole.
Just lost his technique and fundamentals today.

I listened to a lot of the game on the radio today because it wasn't aired here and the streams sucked. i tried to follow on the gameday thread but had to give that up early in the 1st quarter; as "The Bungles were back and the rout was on".
Laps said Dax saved the day on the last NO play.

I dunno about that.... Apple had good position on the inside and he and the wr got tangled up and tripped the wr. Hill came over last second and made a good attempt on the ball though.

I don't think the WR makes the catch regardless due to good coverage by Apple but Hill definitely made it 100%. Don't think Bates makes it over there if they're both running from the same spot.

Wasn’t sure who that was.

Let's see.... Tony and Reuben....amiright?
RE: The Ghost of Jessie Bates - TheLeonardLeap - 10-16-2022
This is why I was so against paying him in the offseason based off just 4 playoff games after a season of bleh.

No names, folks can just review the thread and determine for themselves. I swore off the forum last year but tried again in hopes I could bet some insight into the game. That forum is impossible to discuss the actual game and it is truly sad.
I think Ima start an Unofficial Gameday Thread next week and the rule is you must talk about the game..Novel concept, but it might work.
RE: The Ghost of Jessie Bates - MasonDT70 - 10-16-2022
Bates definitely hasn't helped himself for a top 5 safety contract with his play thus far. Bell has stood out a lot more with the splash plays. I don't even see pay bates on Twitter anymore.

Dude is super inconsistent and right now he's in 'average at best' mode.

Do it.
It'd be a good balencing act. If I want to doom, i'll go to gameday.
RE: The Ghost of Jessie Bates - bfine32 - 10-16-2022
He's the biggest waste of $13 Mil on the team. We coulda had Larry Ogunjobi for about half the price.
