Quote:Does it really matter how he got the sacks?  He still needed the speed to exploit the hole so he is using his talents.  As long as it works keep using it.

 

From an impact standpoint it does matter.  Pressure from an outside rusher needs to come primarily from the outside, or else you have an open spot for an offense to take advantage.  Offenses scheme around mismatches.  That's a mismatch.  Coverage sacks don't really matter to me either, as far as an individual player is concerned.  Coverage sacks are definitely a good thing to have, but my point is it doesn't matter which player gets them and Branch getting them shouldn't be construed as improvement on his individual game.  

 

Again, I hope he has improved and can develop into a great player for us.  But I won't believe that he learned to bend his hips until I see it.
