TWO SNAPS IN THE EVOLUTION AND ASCENT OF JORDAN BATTLE
Bengals safeties coach Jordan Kovacs, son of a coach, is grinding tape and shows you this first.
It's been 24 hours since Jordan Battle "took it when he could take it," and stoned Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell for nothing when it was still nothing-nothing.
Still, Kovacs can't help but allow a yelp of delight since the tackle at the line of scrimmage is so textbook, right down to Battle disguising his run through the box long enough to keep the Baltimore interior at bay. This is where the guy really excels, Kovacs says.
"When he's in the phone booth or in the box. I mean, he arrives with violence here," says Kovacs. |
