Thanks; at least Brace has that going for him.

It is a tad concerning a lower rounder is on the field already before him.

Was it the Herald?

Gamebook has him as DNP:

Now Brace has even more competition for playing time. The Sands signing is disconcerting on 2 fronts: Wilfork isn't playing for awhile, and Brace isn't ready to take his snaps.

I know you know everything but you're just guessing on this especially as we have two DT, including the decent looking Titus Adams, on the PS. They just want to take a look at this guy, no more no less.

He looks woefully out of shape, I don't expect him to play much this year. Next year after he has a year of an NFL training program under his belt it will be easier to evaluate him.

I don't think this is such a mystery. Pryor had a great training camp and is ahead of Brace on the depth chart. We should be happy about Pryor's emergence. It's still very early for Brace.

Yep. Brace has played this year, he's not being thrown to the sidewalk. Pryor is ahead of him, especially in the situation yesterday (we had a lead so they were throwing). This is a good thing, it means our 6th round sleeper is still impressing. It doesn't make our 2nd round pick a bust.

But, this is NE. You know we're going to come to that conclusion after 3 long weeks

Where are you getting your info that he is "woefully" out of shape?................out of thin air?

I have every preseason and reg season game recorded on disc,and I see no indication of this.Even if semi-true,don't you think BB wouls have pup'd him,rather than activating him.?Brace will play,when he's needed,not after a year of an "NFL Training program"...........ridiculous assertion.

That Boston paper is wrong.

defensive snaps # are up per Reiss.

Brace played in 0 of 46.

Pryor was in 27 of 46.
