Quote:I may be wrong but 4am viewing is not the best for memory retention but the only guy I saw pressing was 91 which I believe is Clemons?


I watched 90 which im sure is branch because i wanted to see if he could beat his man 1 on 1 and unfortunately saw him doing a a lot of bear dancing with the right tackle

He seems improved in run support but in a straight fight he still gets regularly stonewalled on passing downs

91 had one pressure against Cutler in the first series and had a play where he got pressure on Claussen later in the half.

 

On multiple occasions Branch was the only player to get near Cutler.

 

The illegal hands to the face play he almost swatted Cutler's arm. The very next play he was the only guy getting any push into the backfield. When Cutler threw his TD pass, Branch ran a stunt and was the only defender to get into the backfield and actually hit Cutler, although the stunt gave Cutler enough time to complete the play. At the 8:11 mark in the third he got another hit on the QB.

 

His production did decline with the second unit when they no longer rotated players and he was in on every down, but while he was apart of the first string rotation, he was perhaps the most active player of the entire group.
