I know this because I saw the LB look at him and wave him up to the line, albeit a bit too late. If he's going to play SS (which I think that he's suited best for), then he's gonna have to recognize obvious running situations and get comfortable creeping up to 5 yds off the ball.
Agree, still like Battle the best of all the Safeties but he needs to work on creeping up to the LOS and wrecking the run game and
blitzing the QB. Criminal benching him for Bell this season after having a fine rookie season.
He was never the problem. It was always the Free that was the problem, not the Strong. Battle would be much better at this point if
he wasn't benched in my opinion. Just another reason we need to move on from Lou.
