It’s all simple really

1 ) Pratt went from a 2 down player to a 3 down player. He isn't made for that role!

2.) The loss of Eli Apple combined with Auwzie becoming bad overnight. CB1 has taken a huge hit!

I disagree, paying Bates 16M per is extremely dumb with our roster, in my opinion.

Not only did he lay down on us pouting, he regularly led the team with missed tackles.  He was NEVER a ballhawk.  He gave up both TDs in the AFCCG.

He is a good player, and this year a very good player.  But he NEVER gave us this production.  The same ones touting we should have kept Bates wanted him gone when he didnt want to play hard and wanted too much money
