Bates has far superior range (speed and quickness) to Reggie. But Reggie was/is the better tackler. Reggie will rock you, Bates will get stronger, but now he has to have great technique to get big guys down.
I loved Reggie and I think Bates will be much better overall in time.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
