Tyvon Branch (1 Viewer)

Tyvon Branch is for sure in a great situation to produce in 2009, but I'm in a Dynasty League and I'm a bit concerned for his future with 2nd rounder Mitchell that can be viewed as a 2010 starter by the team.

What's your thoughts?

 
Long term I think the Raiders are hoping both Branch and Mitchell start with Branch eventually shifting to FS and replacing Eugene and Mitchell laying the hammer at SS.

 
Mitchell looked good on special teams and laid some hits on blockers and I think sproles one time, when does Oak roll with him at SS?

This is how I see play out also. Agree Huff may have a say in this. If Mitchell can stay healthy, he may crack the starting lineup late in the year. Wouldn't be surprise to see them shop Huff and trade him before trade deadline, which is late October (I think). Beleive I saw Mitchell in a few nickel packages Monday night, eyes were gettin heavy.

Updates?And where would you rank Tyvon amongst CBs? (He qualifies as a CB in Yahoo!)

I'd rank him high. He is also so good on ST that he plays all the cover teams. Gibril was a monster on this defense, tackles-wise last year, Branch to me is an every-week starter at S, and for sure at CB.
 
It's hard to see what is going on with coverages when you watch on TV, but I've heard that the Raiders use Cover 0/Cover 1 a ton. This means that the Oakland SS is always going to get tons of tackles because he'll be playing much closer to the line of scrimmage than a tradition safety who usually drops back into Zone coverage.

I'm buying the Raiders SS from now on.

 
The Associated Press reports Oakland Raiders OT Cornell Green (calf), S Tyvon Branch (groin) and TE Zach Miller (concussion) suffered injuries during the team's Week 4 game. Head coach Tom Cable did not provide any information on their injuries.

mmm, this could explain yesteday's poor performance

ahhhhhhhhhhhh oook....thats good to know at least!
 
Branch (hip) was limited at Wednesday's practice, the Oakland Tribune reports. Analysis: Branch is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
 
Says Branch was limited in practice on Wednesday but haven't heard anything since.

Anyone know if he will play on Sunday and if he participated fully in practice recently?

 
Looks like Branch is good to go. He's in a great spot and until I see Mitchell do something to stand out I think Tyvon is a decent value play.
