Koolblue13 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Figure it'll take him a few years to become a good pro, but this is absolutely the type of TE I've wanted. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itd be nice to have one after years of being destroyed by them. Dude, when he’s burly & slow, white, has soft hands & a token white guy name like John Bates, Greg Olsen, Jason Witten, Chris Cooley, Dallas Clark, Heath Miller, Zach Ertz, etc. you just know he’s gonna be legit!

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Greg Olsen was considered an athletic mismatch. Bears often lined him up out side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILikeBilly Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 3 targets and 3 catches today. This rookie is making the most of his "next man up" time. I hope he keeps progressing on the field. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswerdlw Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I love the way the kid blocks. He's a physical, hard-nosed player. On the DeAndre Carter touchdown, Bates bullied his man deep into the end zone, and that cleared the space for Carter to cut back and make the catch. It was a great play design, and Bates played his role perfectly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeBilly Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Coming in, he was considered more of a blocker, than a receiver. Mostly, his blocking is as we expected. Some on here spoke about how we would be surprised with his hands. I think they were right. I look forward to John continuing to help the team, but also his development in years 2 and 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, he's a padawan. I look forward to the day we can finally call him Master Bates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I keyed in on him most of the game and he played awesome. Really solid in the blocking and I had a suspicion they'd start throwing to him in the second half. Came up clutch 2 weeks in a row. Really happy with the pick, especially since he outplayed Tremble yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does that sound more like offensive pass interference than good blocking? lol... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he "bullied his man deep into the end zone"...deep into the end zone is past the 5-yards you're allowed contact. And he didn't actually block anyone once the pass was thrown--when he turned his head to see Heinicke passing his guy peeled off him (actually I think he turned his head at first to see if Carter was pivoting yet).

About 7:13. Blocks his guy from the LoS into the endzone. He releases right before the ball is thrown and sets a pick. If he's not pushing him into the endzone off the line, he's in position to make a play on the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video didn't, either (I think it actually backs up my description lol) 2) He didn't block him "deep into the end zone"...end zone is 10 yards deep...he blocked his guy 1 yard into it. 3) When Heinicke throws the ball there was no one to set a pick against...Bates didn't get in the way of Carter's man and the guy he was engaged with moved off him to go over to Carter (he got there too late) 4) I never said Bates' blocking/pick didn't help on the TD...I said describing it as "bullying/blocking" his guy "deep into the end zone" sounds more like offensive pass interference.
