He is such a good player and tackler. Physical. Not afraid.
Not sure he should be a Safety.
He needs to be in the box, unless he doesn’t want to be…
As a nickel CB, he was often in the box and it led to many tackles for loss.
Going to be difficult to improve on being No. 1 in impact plays.
He doesn’t need to focus on being better than the field, just doing better than he did last year. In other words, the area of improvement would be increasing his percentage of disrupted plays.
Correct.
Be ready…
We are ready.

Love him at nickel. He’s like having an extra linebacker out there. Big for our run defense. I would prefer him at nickle and switching to safety when we don’t run out nickel so he can play 100% of snaps.
Its very possible this is exactly what they plan on doing. If Iffy keeps playing as good as he’s been, and Kerby stays solid, or better then there’s no reason to mess with that. But Branch is better than both so keeping him on the field is good. Regardless, I love him playing S. People shouldn’t worry about him playing S as far as tackling or run stopping. That’s a big part of what a safety’s job is. John Lynch, Troy Polamalu didn’t make their living playing deep. S is where ALL the action is. Branch could be a ball-hawk. Plus Branch isn’t the best cover guy I think he’s better suited in coverage as a S. Plus, plus AG plays his S’s close. Plus, plus, plus we have great LB’s we don’t need Branch being one.
