Any updates on D Branch?

[Chas_Jacket]

I heard he left early with an injury but didn't catch it on TV. Anyone know how he got hurt and where? He was a force in the Tenn game - hope he is back soon.

He got hurt on a chop block by Pitt. I don't know anything about his condition.

Cut block

 

[Chas_Jacket]

Thanks. Anyone know if he was able to get off the field on his own?

Cut block

I thought it was a high-low (chop) block, but I haven't rewatched.

He was between two assistants and being supported by them, but he was walking, such as it was.

Could have been an ankle or a knee or both. Probably a sprain and hopefully not too severe. He was on the ground and more or less rolled his way off the field onto the sideline where he got some attention. Probably out at least one week.

Go Jackets!

Unless we are talking about two different players, and we might be, the one I saw definitely did not roll to the sideline; he was assisted off the field.

That was Jahaziel Lee. Branch managed to get himself off the field.

Illegal cut block out of tackle box outside the 10 to 2 o’clock area... 7 to 8 o’clock angle.

Mmmm, he kind of turned his side into the block. I don't have a problem with the block

Give me a break. No one in their right mind would think that blocker is anywhere close to being between 10 and 2 with the defender.

So clipping at the point correct?

Thought the same thing at first, but if you go back and watch the defenders original angle was not from 10 to 2. It looks like he turned into the block because he lowered his shoulders, but if you look at his lower body, I don't think he turned into it.

OK. Thanks

Hmmm. Wonder what Narducci has to say about that.

 

[Llowe1973]

I saw them working him on the sidelines to see if he was able to go back in. Don't think he went back in but he was jogging up and down the sidelines. So hopefully nothing too serious!

This used to be a legal block. It was made illegal with the tweaking to the rules about 4-5 years ago.

 

[Buzztheirazz]

He is in front of his shoulders...I have no problem with the block.

Hope it's a sprain, tweak or pull and nothing major. It's football. People get hurt and ish happens.

 

[augustabuzz]

The correct call is, "Illegal block below the waist."
