I have serious doubts about this. Branch's stats aren't impressive. It would be interesting to hear from a Zona homer on this signing. Will they miss him? Why or why not? Was he a poor scheme fit there? Attitude?
His stats last year are probably comparable mebane's. Stats dont mean squat for dts. I also see him as insurance for red bryant, whom i read was running around doing drills yesterday with no braceI have serious doubts about this. Branch's stats aren't impressive.

Do you have an alias named 'Sheriff66'? You use of emoticons is disturbing.Hawks Resign HILL!!!!!!!!!!!!CHAMPIONSHIP
I was interested in something similar. I still think they should go after Diles....>What do the LBs look like right now?Curry - Lofa - ??????with Leroy backing up?I think Diles would fit nice on the outside.Not sure if Barnett is an upgrade from Lofa.
I was doing cartwheels when the Cards traded up to the 1st pick in the 2nd rd to pick Branch (3 spots ahead of where Kolb was taken). Projected as a mid-high 1st rounder months earlier, I thought it was a steal. It was pretty evident early on why he slid. For the first few seasons he never really made it on the field, when asked Coach Whiz often used the phrase "We are waiting for the light bulb to come on". Branch seemed disinterested or unable to cope with the pro game, despite possessing the body of a pro bowler. In 2009 (I think) they switched him from NT (looks like a perfect 3-4 NT) to the DE rotation and that made a big difference. He stayed in the rotation last year and made some nice plays. I'm not sure what his deal is. I've seen flashes of quality play and he certainly has the physical tools, but the light bulb never seemed to stay on, often on the verge of missing the final roster. I would have liked to seen him back, but he would have been battling for a roster spot yet again. His potential will be missed, but he never contributed much. good luck.I have serious doubts about this. Branch's stats aren't impressive.

Can't forget our best LB hawthorne. And I am a firm believer that if healthy, barnett would be a better player than lofa. Lofa is just over matched physically by most players.
Thanks for the response! sounds like a solid pickup for depth. Who knows, maybe carroll can light the fire in him. He is all about competition after all.I was doing cartwheels when the Cards traded up to the 1st pick in the 2nd rd to pick Branch (3 spots ahead of where Kolb was taken).

what's with the leg swept stuff, dude. Srsly?
Danny O'Neil just tweated that both Mebane and Moffitt have been signed. Mebane is a huge signing for the defense.
Well, we Seahawk fans don't have many that embarrass us. i guess we should be able to live with just one.
Somehow the Titans had enough faith to pay Hasselbeck and to draft Locker to learn behind him, but the Seahawks didn't have enough to keep Hass and move up to get Locker? Who's looking better this year? A year of TJack and Whitehurst (sounds liek a bad tv show) has got to be depressing.
Called it, kinda. I do wish wr would have made a play for barnett, but I am a little relieved I won't be frustrated with tatupu's play this year.
You have to believe they are gonna be better than the revolving door our mediocrity that was the seahawks line last year. A healthy Okung and Cable as the line coach alone should help.
I"m excited about the line because it can't be any worse than the last two years. They are young, and for the first time we have some guys that play nasty and mean. Unger gets a bad rap, I think you will be surprised this year how good of a center he is...upfront I wan't to state I am a Duck homer.
Ok morning has come and gone, Zach Miller sign the deal already!!
