Branch

[BlueTsunami45]

Sounds like Deion Branch may not play Sunday, hamstring issues. Any of you guys in Seattle hearing anything on this from the local grapevine? If he's a no show it won't surprise me given his past history but I'm hoping he'll play. He does draw alot of attention when he's on the field.

Mora said he would play on Wednesday.

If he starts missing games again, I think we should cut him. As much as I like branch, its not fair guys are playing and he's sittin on the sidelines collecting that ol' big fat check. I wonder how loosely his contract was written anyways to include injury clauses.

If we cut him we only gain $1 mill. to the cap.

Trade him or keep him.

I'd keep him. We don't have anyone else with his ability. He just has injury problems, but when's he's healthy, he's good.

This shit never ends. BRANCH WAS A BUST OF A TRADE. Outsmarted by the Patriots. Get over it Ruskell (We could have just traded for Randy Moss in the first place...)

Branch is very talented and does alter the way defenses play us when he's on the field. No question about it. The problem has been he's usually on the sideline half the season, which isn't doing us any good then. I think many of us fans are just frustrated with the whole situation and want to see the Deion we thought we were getting in 2006 when we gave up a first round pick for him. Otherwise, I think it's time to move on without him.

Thanks for the update 96, I'm assuming you have some inside scoop here as that is not what the article in today's Seattle Times is saying.

I think if he wasn't going to play they would have to bring in a 6th WR to be that backup in the game. Otherwise they would only have 4 WRs available which restricts the passing game. Just my though though.

If the Hawks keep playing like that thay probably won't need him. He might be some good trade bait later in the season for another team who's hurting.

 

[seahawksean]

he would have to be healthy to trade tho..he needs to toughen up!

Mora said that he never thought of playing Branch last week because he knew he wasn't ready. Which was a different report than the Times said Wednesday (good way to throw everyone off). It looks as if the same thing might be in-store this week with Branch missing a game. If so Butler should fill in nicely and Obi can even get into some action.
