He can outmaneuver guys on pass rushing plays sometimes, but if he's going up against a beefy guard like Philly's Shawn Andrews, he gets cleared the F out of the way on running plays.

And Salave'a obviously ain't what he used to be. Branch is 6'6", 330 pounds. He'd be an immovable object, clogging the run. Plus the dude can rush the passer, would occupy double teams, and would allow Carter an easier time to rush the passer.

Branch would clog the line of scrimmage, preventing linemen from reaching the LB level of our defense. Lemar Marshall might start to look like a decent linebacker again.

We NEED Alan Branch. We also need a corner; but I think that will be Nate Clements.

I agree with you. I didnt realize how big A B was.
