three days After turning the bird at Lambeau Field following an ejection, Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch apologized for losing his cool.

“I definitely agree with the call,” Branch he told reporters. “My aim was obviously high, but it was never my intention to aim for the head. In the future, I have to move my aim lower.”

The talented safety indicated that he wants to draw attention to the negative actions on the football field.

“That’s not something I would like to show people, to notice me like that,” Branch said. “That was just the heat of the moment for me. I apologize to everyone who saw that, and that won’t happen again.”

Branch and Joseph Kerby They have attracted a lot of attention for their aggressiveness and ball-selling skills.

“I feel like that puts a lot of pressure just on the quarterbacks. You can’t really know what each of us is going to do each time, because we’re going to change,” Branch said. “And I feel like they know that, and that’s what makes their job difficult.

Detroit’s coaching staff continues to work with young people security in being able to knock down his target by striking.

“I think it’s hard. The easy answer is, ‘Hey, lower your goal.’ But, when you’re sprinting and another guy is sprinting and all of a sudden his weight drops and the angle changes, that’s hard because You don’t want to tell the kids, ‘Hey, all of a sudden, go on their knees.’ We tried to get his target down to the sternum, but it’s a high-impact play, it’s tough,” defensive assistant Jim O’Neil said. “I don’t think he had any malicious intent at all.”

Daniel Campbell expressed during his weekly radio interview on 97.1 The ticket that he talked to Branch about turning the bird and not doing anything that would hurt the team more, especially after he was already ejected for a helmet-to-helmet hit.

“Look, you’ll get the flag and you’ll probably get fined for it,” Campbell said. “That’s part of it, and you don’t want it, but once you’ve deployed your artillery, man, you’re not pulling it back.

“The biggest thing, man, is the penalty after that,” Campbell continued. “That’s what he and I talked about, like, ‘Man, you can’t give them the 15 (plus penalty yards) after that.’ So, I just lowered the target and went through the sternum. It was a little high, but “He will be fine. He plays with an aggressive style, he is a great player and he is a great safety. No, he is not a dirty player.”
