Battle is probably the best safety on the team and they won’t play him.

The Defensive line situation is so crippling that it's nearly impossible to stop an NFL offense with it. It influences the play of the rest of the defense in so many areas. Our defense's foundation had typically been DJ Reader. He was sorely missed whenever he was out. And now without him, we have been decimated at that very position. It seems like an exercise in futility at times with the current personnel out there. You pretty much have to pray for a turnover of some kind. I consider it (interior DL) the most important position on a team after the quarterback.
DJ Reader did a lot of heavy lifting for this defensive line. A lot of times he was a 1 man show. Now he's gone. It's actually super simple

Some offense, some defense, a combination of both. Sprinkle in some special teams, most games have responsibility to go around. ( Salome will throw in the refs ). Think this is a case of the defense being responsible for this loss. Was some play calls and decisions I didn’t like, just like most games, but I’d say none lost this game. Defense should donate their game checks.
