His RAS score was extremely average, which showed on the play above.

That said he was still graded a better athlete than Von Bell who we all liked.  

Jordan Battle can definitely develop into Vonn Bell and Daxton Hill has the talent to be a great center field safety... What I like about that video highlights the one issue. Daxton Hill can get down in the box and blitz the run and pass but to do that Battle has to rotate to the post and he doesn't have the range. Battle needs to make up for that by turning into a savvy blitzer of his own.


Anyone remember in 2021 when Lou brought in Ricardo Allen so they could rotate with Vonn Bell and give Jessie Bates a chance to man up on TEs on 3rd down. Allen was banged up a little plus while Bates is the best post safety in the NFL he was inconsistent in man coverage against TEs so they turned to Flowers who filled that role well. 


Edit: Here is a Video of Greg Cosell talking about Daxton Hill Jordan Battle and the Bengals defense from a few weeks back.

*Great Line about how on a weekly conference call they have every week with coaches around the league that they don't even treat Dean Blandino like a human lol.
