Bates may go to Jets

[SCall13]

Sun Sentinel says Bates may end up as the Jets D-coordinator under Mangini. Man, it will suck to see him with the hated Jets. But that's life. We'll have to make him look bad twice a year. :D

Doesn't Mangini want to run a completely different defense than Bates'?

It looks like the New York Jets are getting a nice collection of AFC East scraps

Good, then they'll have a great defense on paper that racks up the stats then folds in the big games.

 

[PressCoverage]

yeah... that doesn't seem to fit at all... Mangini is a 3-4 hybrid guy, Bates has a traditional 4-3 philosophy...

BAtes should of stayed in GBAY

Adam Shefter on NFL Network said look for Jim bates to follow Mike Sherman to Buffalo.

So either way he's coming back to the AFC East. The Bills would be a better fit for Bates style of defense anyway, provided they resign/franchise Nate Clements.

Yeah, seems pretty odd. Not a good match at all.
