 Jesse Bates the new free agent acquisition coming from the Bengals Let's look at some of the his performance on the field now This play in specific is going to be an all-out blitz by the Bengals You see everybody's up at the line of scrimmage here and on the back end They're going to be playing man coverage You see these guys are lined up across from the receivers But then Jesse Bates lined up way back here 15 yards away from the line of scrimmage Knows that he's got number three in man coverage now at the snap You're going to see him come flying up get his coverage responsibility Not only does he deflect this football away from being completed it ends up getting intercepted So they steal a possession away from the Jaguars because of his recognition his instincts getting up to make that play Now let's look at him and run support because he's a willing Tackler as well a little bit closer to a lot of scrimmage this time They're going to run a little speed sweep coming across the formation. You'll see initially blocked up pretty well Three black jerseys covering up three white jerseys Now there is a linebacker that you see is free But I don't know if he's got the right angle to make this tackle But Bates sees it he knifes in there and he's able to make this tackle and look see where the first down marker is Short of the first down marker. It's third down. You know what happens after that Pun team comes out on the field Cincinnati gets the ball back So that's just two plays to show you the difference maker that Atlanta gets one in pass coverage One and run support so you're getting a willing and able defender all over the field So kind of seems natural as to why a guy like Terry Fontenot and Arthur Smith would bring in such an impactful player
