Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 19:24 · Archive
Cincinnati Bengals safety Jordan Battle told reporters his team had identified a tell in Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis's throwing motion before their Sunday matchup.
Cincinnati Bengals safety Jordan Battle told reporters on Friday that his team had identified a tell in Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis's throwing motion ahead of Sunday's matchup. Battle revealed that Willis taps the ball slightly before throwing it, which he said the Bengals could use as a key to break on the ball.
Battle's comments drew ridicule from Bengals fans on social media, who questioned why he would publicly reveal the team's defensive strategy. One fan remarked that now the tell would be gone, whilst another suggested Battle had inadvertently handed the Dolphins a free scouting report.
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley responded to Battle's comments on Friday, downplaying the observation by noting that many quarterbacks tap the ball before throwing. However, Hafley acknowledged that any opponent sharing tendencies with them was welcome information. The Dolphins are chasing their first win of the season.
