Was reading about stopping the cheesehead lacey and felt as calm as a shaolin priest. Alan Branch was quite a pickup. We're missing Mayo and Spikes in the run defense, but our line is more solid against the run.
Branch has steadily increased snaps, but still isn't where he could be (except against passing teams) but big guys like him struggle with conditioning during layoffs, and he admits, it. BB andd Zolak pointed him out in there segment just destroying the right side of Detroit's (?) line allowing Nink to stroll in for a sack.
Happy to see Siliga recovering, but i think we could get a few good years out of Branch. He's a quality NFL lineman with ability and size. You don't luck into something like that midseason at that position very often, as you know if you count the D-linemen who have drifted through over the years. Must be 15 or 20.
