It is obvious he's been in the doghouse. Lou spoke about him

How bad did he come into camp considering the starters never heard of the term "tackle"

Was he not really happy they brought Bell back?

One of the big issues last year with the defense and explosive plays was the lack of communication in the secondary. I can only assume that the communication skills from Vonn tips the scales in his favor even though Battle may have better athleticism.

I don’t buy he wasn’t ready. They handed Bell the job because he’s a vet. Battle looked fine to me in preseason. Had a pick 6 against the Colts.

Is he playing on special teams? If he’s not he’s in the doghouse.

Maybe we just don't like Alabama players. Pretty sure I saw Jermaine Burton on the side of a milk carton this morning

Carlos Dunlap played ST the year he was clearly in Lou's doghouse. Joe Bachie and Daijahn Anthony have both played more snaps on defense than Jordan Battle this year.
So he is playing special teams? I maintain if he isn’t then he’s in the doghouse.

Then he may just be in the corner.

The Battle situation is definitely a weird one. I know his name was a part of the communication issues last season, but Battle mentioned that he kept quiet mainly out him being a rookie and he didn't want to overstep his role. I just have no idea what has happened since the end of the last season, other than Vonn coming back.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
