Deion Branch back with the Patriots

[unoriginal]

Branch seems to be a bail out at times for Brady. Even with as many weapons Brady may have they have a chemistry that's just natural.

A chemistry that nowadays is chiefly on display every time there's a busted coverage in his vicinity, usually because Branch is the last guy the defense accounts for.

Happy to have him back, wish him luck, and hope he plays a lot, especially in the hurry-up; otherwise, I don't see why he's back.

Defenses account for all 5 eligible receivers on every play.

Because he is better than what we have had active and on the field.

Very good news. Alot of us were asking for this and we got it

If its 3rd and long I still look for that Brady to Branch combo to move the chains....I get nervous when he throws to LLoyd at times....I think they just are not there yet.

There are times when I suspect you're not a real poster, but the result of some comp-sci program's natural language bot project.

Or maybe you're just BB posting.

Slater really won't be making any plays at WR unless we lose the top 4 there....

I like this offense on paper. :rocker:

WR1-LLoyd
WR2-Welker
WR3-Branch
WR4-Edelman
WR5-Slater

TE1: Gronk
TE2: Hernandez (when he gets back)
TE3: Winslow

The team is stacked at these positions. HOpefully, BB will be smart enough to keep Winslow when Hernandez comes back, just in case.

Suddenly this week just got a lot better.

My point exactly having Branch here. He's clutch when it counts, Brady never hesitates to throw his way.

Well at least that was more productive than posting that you think defenses ignore receivers.

lloyd was clutch on his two catches on the sidelines..one was on 3rd i think...he is great at keeping the feet in making a diving catch

Hope Branch will be very productive this Sunday! We need everyone firing on all cylinders to beat the Ravens.

 

[captain stone]

Getting rid of the deadwood. Hoomanawanui would also be gone
if they didn't have to keep him three games.

Why do they have to keep him 3 games?

 

[captain stone]

Luckily he only needs to be the 4th best receiving threat on the team. I'm guessing 3 WR sets will be used a lot on sunday, unless winslow picks up the play book real fast.

I'm guessing that Winslow doesn't pick up the playbook at all. He just doesn't appear sufficiently
mentally disciplined.

 

[captain stone]

True but if A Hern doesn't go down would BB still bring Branch back now especially with this Welker/Edelman crap goin on with 3 receivers?

If Hernandez doesn't get injured, then IMHO Branch remains unsigned, and Salas remains a Patriot.

 

[PatriotReign]

Let's get Gaffney as well just for good measure.

 

[Joker]

that's what I was thinking...although I didn't want to risk the wrath of the P.C. police...I've watched a lot of Winslow, especially when he was younger and he's an emotional, a visceral type player who makes plays using natural ability. I can't call him a disciplined type player, he's not...perhaps they are going to give him a couple of route trees he's already familiar with and see where it goes.

Those 2 sideline catches by Lloyd were just extraordinary:rocker:

Why do they have to keep him 3 games?

Players signed off other teams' practice squads must remain on the roster for 3 weeks.

Well at least that was more productive than posting that you think defenses ignore receivers.

I posted that Brady and Branch demonstrate most of their chemistry exploiting busted coverage... which happens most often to Branch as he is an afterthought in the offense, and in defensive plans.

How you got from there to "actually, common misconception, defenses often account for all receivers and try not to let them run about the field unsupervised" I can't decipher.

I wasn't saying the Pats have Branch back because the entire offense will just be quick-throws to him, since defenses just won't cover him.

they really were..he has great abilities. We will be seeing that all year

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Lloyd wasn't signed primarily for making good looking sideline catches.....I want to see him making long strides open downfield heading to the end zone.

Lloyd is supposed to be the downfield threat and touchdown bomb which is what I would hope to see more often than 'pretty' 15 yard sideline catches.
