If Bates would have gone all out from the beginning he likely makes the tackle at the 10 or so due to having a straight line and the runner having to swerve.
I'm really not trying to defend Apple because he was awful this game, overall, I just don't feel like that was a play where he did much wrong.
Im talking about closer to the line of scrimmage way before the chase by Bates. He doesn't seem to heed the urgency needed to get off his man and then he starts running. Like I said maybe Im being too hard on the guy - he had a rough day, except for the big hit.
