I really like Battle and think he's gonna be a good one, but he could have benefited greatly sitting behind Bell for a year and playing in some sub packages and special teams.
Dax is no FS. He's a slot corner masquerading as a FS. At least in MY opinion. I sure hope Tycen Anderson heals up well this off-season and takes that spot next year. I know, I know...a first round pick isn't getting displaced by a 6th rounder blah blah blah... I ain't tryna hear that. Anderson played very well in the preseason, made some really nice plays, and I feel he's earned another long look there come next TC, provided he comes back healed up and chomping at the bit to get on the field.
Hopefully Dax and Battle both benefitted from all the snaps they took this year. I believe Dax will stay at safety in 2024, and in 2025 possibly take Hilton's spot.
