Deion’s fast start has fizzled.. local press getting critical
For all you who participate in Deion Branch love fest on a regular basis, here is an article in a local paper which is not that complimentary to him..

KIRKLAND — Maybe Deion Branch is still suffering an acclimation hangover of learning an unfamiliar offense in an unknown city.
Or maybe the former Super Bowl MVP is just another victim of the Seattle Seahawks’ maddeningly inconsistent offense that has failed to show the potency it displayed a year ago.
Whatever the reason, the wide receiver, for whom Seattle traded a first-round draft pick to New England, isn’t meeting his own expectations and has been relatively unnoticed in the Seahawks’ offense of late.
“I really haven’t been putting up the numbers like I know I can. But we’re doing a lot of different things on offense,†Branch said as the Seahawks prepared for today matchup with San Diego.
If it sounds like Branch is unhappy or disappointed with his situation in Seattle, that’s not the case. Instead, he’s just another member of an offense that is riddled with injuries and failing to meet self-imposed goals.
