Shakir got it at least, better for yac, probably less in route running but he'll improve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a guy who can start and not get destroyed. But he is not a guy who you can start and expect him to improve one of the poorest lines in football. They needed upgrades and settled for a baseline player. I think the main reason they wanted Bates was for the versatility. He could play any interior line position and even took a few reps at tackle if I remember right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he is the perfect 6th lineman because he can play either guard spot, center or right tackle in a pinch. My issue isn't with them signing him. It was with them handing him the right guard spot. Cybo, despite definitely struggling a tad the second half of his rookie year was a major upgrade.
