Branch was supposed to be the go-to guy for Seattle from day one, and it hasn't happened. Really, I think both he and the Pats would have benefitted by his staying put, but those dollar bills kind of cloud one's vision sometimes. Kind of the same thing with Ty Law a few years ago, and the future for Asante Samuel. <BR/><BR/>Saturday should be back, well, Sunday. Let's see what the Ponies can do now with Sanders out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-2092057074984494802008-09-19T15:50:00.000-04:002008-09-19T15:50:00.000-04:00I agree with you, but he hasn't had significantly ...I agree with you, but he hasn't had significantly more impact with the Pats than Branch with the Seahawks...yet.Kevin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172648739434861401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-70486927919503790262008-09-19T15:44:00.000-04:002008-09-19T15:44:00.000-04:00I think the common wisdom is pretty positive on Me...I think the common wisdom is pretty positive on Meriweather. I like him, anyway. He had a solid game against the Chiefs and had that INT against NY.
