I just don't get the odd fixation on Branch. You can say anything you want, but at the end of the day, Branch totaled 6 QB sacks last season, and thats not bad improvement after a rookie year that showed very little. He was night and day better by seasons end than the player that was under Mularkey's watch. 

 

Branch has a very good chance of hitting double digit QB sacks this season with only a little more improvement/ refinement to his game. 

 

Theres better targets to hate on this team if thats your objective. Like Marcedes Lewis, for instance.... B)

 

Speaking of 2nd half improvement, 'cedes killed it in that department scoring a receiving TD in four consecutive games down the stretch, a feat which tied the franchise record. He was finally being put in situations where he could succeed, lining up out wide, particularly down by the goal line and low and behold he came through. I wouldn't be at all shocked if he came through with a 2010 esque season this year if they continue to work on getting him involved.
