That would be the plan.

I think they bring what we were missing last year, they both can be relied on to play deep and they both have good play recognition instincts that Dax just hasn’t developed thus far. I’m on board with your plan Nate, even though I honestly expected more out of Dax than just being a slot corner.
Yes, it is a great year as far as options to improve the Defense.
I understand that about Dax just being a Slot Corner, but he can also play Nickel Safety and even WILL Linebacker.
He seems to like playing in the middle more than on the backend from what I have seen of him. Simmons great at playing on the backend
as Free Safety. Battle also seems comfortable on the backend as a tackling enforcer at Strong Safety.

Nope, don't like hearing it lol
Battle looked pretty great at Strong Safety late last season, I am not for benching him for Dax who is the much more versatile Secondary player.
