Actually Bates wasn't a big reason; in fact he was not a good system fit here but a better one in Atlanta. Bell was the big loss as he was the one responsible for calling the alignments on the defense. Notice that both safeties they got (Bell and Stone) are football savvy and knowledgeable. And we saw it in preseason and camp - when they were in the big plays basically disappeared.
