One of the key elements Battle touched on was his ability to identify plays and read the opponent's intentions. Having played for one of college football's most prestigious programs, he mentioned how that experience helped him adapt quickly to the NFL.

"I feel like playing at Alabama prepared me well for this level," Battle explained. "There's a high level of expectation, attention to detail, and constant communication in that program. So when I transitioned to the NFL, I already had a good understanding of how crucial communication and play recognition are."

Communication is a vital component of any successful defense, and Battle emphasized the importance of players being on the same page. "We've got a great group of guys on this defense who understand that communication is key," he said. "We're always talking, making adjustments on the fly, and helping each other out there."
