Re: 3/19/07 Rams Mock
i'm not sold on alan branch at all...
he's started only 23 games in his three years at michigan and has a total of 61 tackles and a total of 9 sacks during that stay...
watched his game footages of the usc/michigan bowl game and saw that he was consistently pushed off the LOS or aside by usc's center and guard...he has a tendency to turn his shoulders like a 1-gap DT which puts him in bad position on run plays...
even in the highly touted ohio/michigan game branch managed to somehow disappear except for one nice play he made, in which he got pressure up the middle on a stunt and forced an errant pass that was picked off...it seemed like he ran out of gas near the end of the 13 game season...
he may've dominated against opponents in the collegiate level but i wonder if he has the drive to overcome playing against opponents that can consistently neutralize him on the next level...
