Actually I am extremely high on bring Alan Branch in as he is exactly what we need up front. He obviously wouldnt be playing NT as he isnt a good fit and the way D rob has been playing frankly that isnt a need. But he would bring alot of size, power and strength, and that is exactly what we need. If we are going to survive w/ D rob and Ellis shooting gaps and causing disruption, we have to have someone who can maintain the point of attack w/ size and strength(something Kimo has been awful at). Branch IMO is that guy
agreed. and along with the other servicable bodies (Moore, Tui, Pouha) NT really doesn't seem like a need. adding Branch, along side D-Rob and Ellis would give us a big, powerful DL, kinda like NE's. by no means am i comparing Branch to Seymour, but i think it would be like that -- 3 quality DL. then you add a speedy OLB and you'll see how all of the OLB's are freed up. cheers
