Fast Corners can keep up with the fastest Receivers and cover them better. If you are deficient speed wise you are much more likely to
get beat. Don't understand where you are going there. Dax Hill and Nick Scott are overall much faster than Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell.
It is true that Bates when playing his best is a very good rangy 1 high Safety, but that doesn't mean he didn't suck at times too as Casear
here says. Plus the tackling should be better with Dax Hill who is a very good tackler. Also must add that Nick Scott had to play with Ramsey
who just did what he felt like doing and it made the entire Rams secondary struggle at times in coverage.
This won't happen here, we won't have a Corner doing his own thing. Lou's secondary's work as a team.

"Jesse Bates utterly erasing 1/3 of the field", I like him and he was a solid player but the last game I watched he was too late giving help on the only deep WR that luckily dropped a TD pass, and saw him play a role in both TDs that KC did score.
Yep, dude was bad against the Chiefs. Not saying Bates is a bad player, but Dax Hill could certainly end up being better overall.
