He thinks he beats out Scott. When? He didn’t know. Mind you he has no reference or from observing them both to have a legit opinion. Meaning he has no tangible reason. But if he’s right we have our secondary for awhile.

I don’t know how Scott and battle are doing in camp but I’d put money down in Battle starting sometime during the first half of the season if Scott doesn’t seize his chance here. I think Battle is the better player than both but Battle will probably make more costly mistakes while learning.

If his recovery ability after biting on a juke is half as good as what CTB demonstrated last season, we're going to be in fine shape.

Thanks! For some reason I had thought he played RT exclusively in his career.

The more I see of Jordan Battle the more I like. His highlights are just great honestly, he isn't as fast as Scott but he has the smarts and has 
the instincts you just cannot teach.

Also like the Nick Scott pickup, he is smart, fast and hits hard but Battle just seems like a natural. Probably the best camp battle besides RT
is the Safety opposite of Daxton Hill.
