If he snags a pick in this game I'm going to assume Brian Branch's main goal on this Earth is to annoy Tom Grossi.

That fifth rounder would be worth its weight in gold.

I can hear the frickin frackins right now

Needed, secondary is trash. He won’t be himself but just having his communication on the back end should help improve the defense
6. u/California_Stop_King · 2026-10-24 19:35 UTC
Agreed. Secondary is getting a massive upgrade from hot ass to regular ass
7. u/Sunday_Friday · 2026-10-24 19:47 UTC
Maybe still warm ass
8. u/WhaleSexOdyssey · 2026-10-24 19:50 UTC
God I love ass. real ass not our shitty fucking secondary
9. u/AmazingCharizard28 · 2026-10-24 20:02 UTC
Unfortunately the only ass ima get is continuing to watch that secondary play
10. u/MrExtravagant23 · 2026-10-24 19:50 UTC
At least a little ass

it's better than nothing. and now it's "nothing"
12. u/Berry_impulse · 2026-10-24 19:37 UTC
Branch at 75% of his ability is an upgrade over everyone else in our secondary. Just please dont be too fired up and get kicked out of another Packers game

Just saw a guy poppin’ Faygo like champagne then drop to his knees at meijer

Man it’s good to have Branch back. We’ve missed this dude

“IF THEY TAKE BRIAN BRANCH I WILL RAIN DOWN THE FURY OF 1000 SUNS”

I'm glad we all reveled in his sadness. I love Tom but that felt good.

Dan already confirmed this yesterday, why is Fowler presenting this as some kind of scoop?
18. u/Jonjon428 · 2026-10-24 19:38 UTC
Man I love this guy. Love to see him back
19. u/LederhosenSituation · 2026-10-24 19:43 UTC
I'm not expecting pre-injury Brian Branch. He'll likely take some time to come back to form, and that's fine. I just want a somewhat serviceable defense, man.

Damn, didn’t even know he had this injury. Glad to see him back. Yet another player we should’ve drafted and now haunts us
