Has Jordan Battle been named the starting SS over Nick Scott? I’ve been wanting this to happen for a couple of weeks now and it looks like it came to fruition last night because I don’t remember seeing Nick Scott out there for a single play.
Even if he struggles, who cares? I believe if we have to tank the rest of the season after Burrow’s Injury, might was well play the rookies as much as possible to see if they can develop into something…
Also, Murphy looked decent too.
Battle will be good, but it’s a steep learning curve with how much safeties in the NFL are asked to do. He is a good tackler and should fill the hole that Von Bell left nicely, maybe the more snaps he gets the more they can rely on him. It’s really tough when you basically have two rookies and two second year players back there being asked to cover elite receivers.
