As much as people hate to hear it, Branch is still one of the top LEO options on this roster.

 

There haven't been enough players who have shown they can do it in real games or have done enough this offseason or preseason to push him off the roster.

 

They aren't going to give the job to some random guy who has shown even less and just cross their fingers and hope they can get more regular season production from him than they have from Branch.

 

It is what it is until we have actual better options. I think it is unlikely they move forward based on wishful thinking.
