Larry David's right -- you can get out of just about any question as long as you say "it's personal," unless, of course, you're being questioned by
Roger Goodell, who will have a league of upstanding citizens even if it requires surveillance in the homes of every single player. Luckily for
Arnaz Battle, the questions he's facing aren't regarding legal matters, so no one will press any further on why
the receiver missed team activities last week
now that he's back.
"It's just a lack of communication," Battle said. "This is not a mandatory camp and I felt there were some personal things I needed to take care of. I put it on my shoulders. I didn't communicate it, and that's that."
Apparently everything's been cleared up and the team is satisfied. It's obviously best for everyone involved if Battle is present, especially now that he's missed a week of lessons on
Mike Martz's new offense. But Battle isn't concerned about that.
"I played quarterback," he said. "I feel I have the intelligence to (be able to) come in and learn the position and get out there and make plays and make things happen"
Quarterback? Battle should switch positions, he might have a better chance of starting if he's under center.
