Can Jammal Branch handle the job?

I'm not completely sure about the Deuce situation but he is hurt..... That knee is giving him trouble, of course pain and swelling. Do you guys remember back to the last game when he only returned when Reggie was injured? Deuce has no ability to cut on the knee and this could pose a problem in the future. If Deuce is to go out this will be an entirely different team. I don't see Reggie doing much of anything in the running game so who knows what will happen.
