It seems to me Dre is trying to make a point that even though Bates is a rookie his instincts put him in the right spot. 

All good points, but I understand what that OP was saying.   He did not make a play on the ball.  No one was expecting him to hit a guy to impress us.

Anytime I hear something positive out of a coach or a fellow player's mouth during the off season I'm eating it up.   But I admit what I wanted to hear is that Bates made a play on a well placed ball to our starting slot receiver who the coaches have been happy about this spring.
