[QUOTE="ArizonaPackerFan, post: 10655, member: 53"] I agree with Obi1's original post. I think Slowik lost the respect of his players, and that affects their performance on the field. I know I work harder for people I respect, and I think football players do as well. Bates has instant crediblity with his players, which is something Slowik never had. I'm excited about Bates. He'll definately improve the defense. The big question to me is how much can he improve it with the talent he has? My guess would be he will be able to turn one of the lower ranked defenses into one ranked somewhere in the middle. If we can get a couple of the 2nd year players to take a big jump in their level of play the way KGB did in his 2nd year, then maybe Bates has a chance to make it a top 10 defense. With Bates, we might have a chance to actually win a few games with the defense, instead of winning despite the defense like we did with Slowik. [/QUOTE]
