Who is Battle's actual backup? Ourlads.com (no idea how legit that site is) says it's Eddie Smith. Do we think he's going to play the first half in place of Battle, or do we think it'll be some combo if Wright, Hellams, and Branch at the safety spots?

I think Hellams is first in line at either safety spot. Hellams got clearly beat on one play last week but otherwise he didn't seem as poor as Wright. He was at least flying around and trying to hit somebody. The question to me is whether we continue to play Wright, who's been the most atrocious player on D this year (though Moses is giving him a run for his money with his pitiful effort level). It doesn't seem like Eddie Smith is ever going to be that guy. He's a vet, and if he was playing at all decent we would have heard about him over Wright by now. So far it seems like Branch is the next guy in if we take Wright out. We know Branch got some reps with the 1s in Wright's spot last week. One possibility we may could see is putting Branch at Star and putting Moore on the backend.
