Tyvon Branch coming to DC after Indy

[Lonewate44]

Tyvon Branch will head to D.C. tomorrow after Colts visit | ProFootballTalk


let him come...but dude has missed so many games the last 2 years....Fluke Injuries or not.....Lets offer a good contract...but nothing crazy.....When healthy he is a good player at a position of need....

the last thing we need is another safety that can't cover so pass

tough call for me, because I'm sure a lot more safeties will be released soon, and when he wasn't injured he was at least a sound tackler.

branch could be a good pick up for us

But we need a free safety, which is one of the four cornerstone positions of a 3-4 (the others being NT and two pass-rushing OLBs). Phillip Thomas may be able to fit that bill later on, but if we can't get someone to play safety high or cover down-the-seam and sideline-to-sideline, we'll continue to get gashed.

That's what I keep thinking. I just don't see Branch as being a huge improvement at SS and we have like zero FS players right now.
