Remember all that talk about Branch in the preseason, how he hadn't had a single catch? Well once the regular games began, boy has Branch lit it up!
Game 1 - 7 catches 93 yards
Game 2 - 8 catches 129 yards
We talk so much about the tight ends on this team, and justifiably so. But news flash - we've also got some good wide receivers and Branch is one of them!
I just caught his presser and he talked about how last year, he hadn't even caught up to all the new stuff the Pats were doing in their system yet. But how this year during training camp he finallly got caught up to the rest of the receivers. Isn't that amazing, to see what Branch can do now that he has 'caught up'. Last year was basically a learning year for him and he already looked pretty good. And the way he was talking, I honestly believe that he thinks this offense can get even better. I mean wow - 38 and 35 points, and this offense could get BETTER? Scary thoughts man.
I also love how Branch was smiling and just looking so happy during the interview. He just looks so pleased to be in New England again. Also I can't wait until Ocho gets 'caught up' with the Pats system. Let's cut him some slack, Branch has been playing in the Pats system forever except for that brief hiatus in Seattle and it even took him time to get caught up. Just imagine when all the receivers are on the same page as Brady?? Gonna be a nightmare to defense!
Mark my words, the Pats offense in 2011 has the potential to be scary good. Maybe even better than 2007! And Branch is going to be a key player for us during our run. We're in the middle of watching something special develop and it is just so exciting and awesome to watch! Games 1 and 2 are just appetizers for the main course. Buckle in and enjoy the ride!!
