John Battle let's discuss

Honestly looking at some stats he hasn't been bad but IMHO I just haven't been impressed. What are your thoughts on this 5th year senior. I think Grant Delprit gets more pub but he deserves it. My point is this I haven't heard shite about him. 
Eta: I bumped this for mid season review. I started this thread before the season started.
My mid season take: he is a liability in coverage, takes bad angles on tackles, and gets trucked because he tackles too high.

I would rather see Monroe Harris or Stevens over battle, but who am I to question Aranda.. he got a nice raise for a reason
Delpit is recovering from an injury as well

It's a reason why he came back. He probably didn't have that good of a draft grade. He's not awful by any means, but Eric Monroe is already a better safety and matches up better in man coverage.

Battle is solid, but Delpit and Monroe both looked better to me.

He’s getting passed by Monroe. You’ll see Stevens on the field more too.
Battle just isn’t as talented as the others. Not a knock, just an honest assumption.

I think Battle is pretty good, but I also think we have more talented guys behind him who will make a serious push. Monroe, Harris and Stevens all have a little experience now.

Eric Monroe looks better to me the guy is in on every play and is an enforcer should be the starter

He is this years Danny McCray

I'm expecting him to have a Dwayne Thomas like turnaround this year.

Delpit will be a 1st or 2nd round pick, he was better than battle as a freshman.
Monroe will start the nickel because he's too good not to see the field. If battle was to go down the defense wouldn't miss a beat with monroe opposite delpit.

Great kid, great teammate, deserves to get every opportunity!

People on here rather see the other guys because they had higher star rankings.
John Battle has played a lot since day 1 and will be needed on the field for his leadership. He's goin to play weather fans like it or not

One of the best open field tacklers in Cfb. He’s a veteran and contrary to what many on here believe will make our defense better. Delpit Monroe Battle Harris. We good at S. Not sure where JaCoby fits in but I think Todd Harris is the name to watch
Posted on 7/5/18 at 8:39 pm to FLBooGoTigs1
I’d rather ask Aranda than the rant

battle coming back for his fifth year only to see the bench if seniority means nothing

Pretty terrible way to assess a football player, especially a defensive back.
