membengal Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Hobs' notes on the Battle pick: Quote THIRD ROUND: Alabama S Jordan Battle: Some people thought the Bengals grabbed the best safety in the draft at No. 95. Others are wondering if he'll be teamed with Hill in the starting lineup by Thanksgiving. One thing is for sure. Battle used his 18-minute interview well with the Bengals at the combine. "He was fantastic," Trey Brown says. "When you speak to him, you see why he's been successful. He's played a lot of football at Alabama. He's highly intelligent. Great leadership skills. Great knowledge of playing the safety position and he was able to present all that in a short time. I think all these guys have the right stuff and Battle is one of these guys that really fits into the culture Zac has been building here. "Very versatile. He can play high. He can play low. He has good range, good ball skills, as well as a good, physical tackler. He checks all the boxes you look for in a safety." Battle also had a good feel for the Bengals in the same 18 minutes. "I remember they stood out because of how cool the coaches were," Battle said after he was picked. "How they came off, how the vibes were, how supportive they were. Having that relationship early from the combine, and to now, was great." The Bengals would love for Battle to have the same impact as another Bama safety wreaking havoc in the AFC North with the Stealers. As advertised, Battle has been keeping notes. "I like to watch a lot of Minkah Fitzpatrick. I love the way he's used," Battle said. "I love how he plays in the box. He's one of those guys when I talk about versatility, one of the guys who does that at the next level. They move him around the slot, the deep part of the field, and in the box. He's a guy I like to watch because he comes down, he does tackle the way he does, and has that playmaking ability in the deep part of the field in making plays and being rangy. He's a guy I like to watch a lot." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBD though as fidning a proper tackle in the college "big hits" highlight vids is a bit of a unicorn. At least he's not outright trying to spear someone (*aka Stiller Football) or throwing the ol' forearm shiver (*aka Maualuga USC highlight reel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt he can play but that's a bad habit in someone that likes to hit. We've got some good coaches but it'll probably be the vets that clean that up as soon as the pads go on. One way or the other he won't be doing that in the NFL for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Question: Could this guy replace Flowers as sort of a big cornerback covering good tight ends the same way Flowers was used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the intention is for him to replace Vonn Bell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Yeah, I think he is the eventual Bell replacement - and his presence allows them to go 3 Safeties whenever Lou needs to and one of Hill or Scott maybe gets the TEs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, yeah. I 100% agree but since we are going into the season with three quality Safeties, how about making one a part time Tight End coverage specialist esp vs teams with a strong TE? TE's were Marvin killers for most of his time here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 He's probably not the top candidate as a TE coverage specialist. Flowers was a CB with length. He had more footspeed than TEs so he could stick with them or recover when they cut. Battle was 1 of 3 starting safeties in Alabama's defense. Battle and Hellams were the more physical guys while Branch was the coverage specialist, though he usually took slot receivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
