Branch Completes Full Practice [Updated]

by: Michael Steffes

Deion Branch made it through a full practice today, including the team drills. Bobby, MoMo and Lock were the only Hawks (not on IR) not to practice. So in a way, we are kinda healthy, I think. Hmmmmmm. This comes from Danny O'Neil's report.

Clare Farnsworth answered one of the questions I saw asked around here. John Ryan, the new punter, is doing the holding. A new holder was no problem today as Mare booted all 8 field goals through, including one from 58 yards.

Also, it sounds like the defense is getting ready to make a statement. Picks by Pro Bowlers Marcus Trufant, Julian Peterson, Lofa Tatupu, and Deon Grant (well he should have made it) were mentioned. A short field is something we would like to see a lot of on Sunday, and I have a feeling JT O'Sullivan will oblige. ~END~
