Default Ron Brace at DE?

I no he doesn't have ideal length to play DE in a 34 but he is only one inch shorter that Warren, he does have 15 or maybe 20 lbs on Warren and Seymour. A lot of people including myself have thought he was drafted to back up or even replace Wilfork after this year, but there is a chance he was drafted to take over for Seymour since imo hes more likely to go then Vince.

This guy is slower than slow. I think he ran like a 5.3 or 5.5 at the combine. He will be a NT and that's it.

That would be nice if Brace could play DE but it will never happen; he's too slow.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it, but he's kind of slow.

Default Re: Ron Brace at DE?

yea, just to clarify....hes slow....

he was like the second to last fastest guy in the combine slow....



but honeslty, why is that important for our systems DE's? were not Indy where we send are DE's after the QB and they have to get their quick....for our DE's they stay there at first, fill up the hole, shut down a run if its coming their way....and if it isnt, then our current DE's dont get much rpessure anyways, so why not?

i think Brace at DE is a possibility, he could collapse the pocket when other team passes....just wouldnt be able to chase the QB

He's there in case the Wilfork deal collapses. No more, no less...

You have to be kidding. Seymour is pretty darned athletic. We'll ne missing a lot if we go from an athletic nose to Brace, but we might have to. At least there will always be play up the middle.

Putting a statue at one of the ends when we only have 3 linemen? We might as well give the other team a Canadian field to work with.

Why do you think we spent 3 #1 picks on the line? If we lose Seymour, we'll have to get smaller until we can draft a real replacement.
