BTW remember Bates was only "meh" here and he goes to the Falcons with a different, slightly simpler system that lets HIM attack and they have an all pro. There's a common thread here...

Bates was not "meh" here. He had an all pro worthy season in 2020 and had some other very good seasons. 

I am not defending Lou and his "system", but let's not act like Bates is some kind of product of his enviornment. 

I think this defenses problem is two fold, its full of bad/non productive players (Hubbard, Pratt, both safties) and they simply aren't coached well enough/the system sucks. I think cleaning house of the coaching staff on defense (DC and some position coaches) and not bringing guys like Hubbard, Pratt, possibly Stone back would do wonders for this D.
