We’re gonna have a top 5 defense if the o line is as good as we think it should be

the answer. Battle has very good instincts and as we have seen with certain Defensive players this can be the difference more so 
than pure talent and athleticism.


We will see on the Safeties, as you say, that is the one big question on Defense besides how well Chido comes back.

Love Dax Hill's upside and Nick Scott's poor pass coverage ratings had a lot to do with Jalen Ramsey's free wheeling on the Rams.

Lou's D's do not have free wheeling Corners that do what they want, Lou's secondary's are disciplined. This should help Scott, and 
if not, we have both Tycen Anderson and Jordan Battle who have great upside.


He is big and talented, played very well in the Preseason last year and we traded up for Tycen. We might be more than okay at 
Safety, who knows. Definitely like all our players, they are just inexperienced. Brick Scott has some valuable experience but he 
only started playing Safety a few years ago. By far our most experienced Safety is Michael Thomas, but he is a ST's Captain.

The young guys need to most snaps.

Dead on in relation to Scott and Ramsey, as well as your point about Lou's defenses.  I mean, the entire unit COULD be better than last year, given the speed in the secondary now and with Ossai trending upward and the addition of Murphy, I think more rotation at DE could help Hendrickson and Hubbard.
