And like I said before, he got a ton of snaps, he's clearly going to get some sacks. Even Mincey had 8 sacks in 2011? (maybe 2012 can't remember) and he actually earned his, it wasn't a cute little fancy stunt every time. 

 

Consider this. If Branch is as "worthless" as you say "being schemed to produce statlines". Wouldn't Branch be out the door at this point? The coaches would know hes just going against air and isn't a real DE? So why keep him?

 

Yet this man not only clings to a roster spot but is on the cusp of solidifying his role within the entire team. Nobody is calling him the next big thing but he sure as heck deserves to be here. I remember Ernest Wilferd, Joe Z, Russel Allen, etc. all becoming that type of role. A backup that is consistently decent.
