Bates never had more than 3 INTs until last year when he had 4. The revisionist history that Bates was a great ballhawk we let walk is crazy. He also led the team in missed tackles. He also gave up both TDs in the AFCCG. Bates is a good player, but we would be stupid to pay a safety 16M per with this roster.
This is true. But I think we are starting to see that our D-coordinator is not quite as good as the past two years have hyped him up to be. We’ve only been top 10 in D PPG once. And always in the back end of YPG.
