That was aimed at those who jumped to the bust conclusion as it is rediculous to call anyone a bust when you all you have seen was a rookie year. I would caution those who are getting excited now not to jump to far but I think it is normal to get excited about young talent and stupid to assume bust based on small sample siz as everyone developes at different rates.

Speaking of Brace's physical condition, he is one guy who simply does not look like he did as a rookie He has 2 of the biggest guns I've seen since "Too Strong" Boyd who alas was a bust but this kid really pumped himself up off season. Arnol would be proud. Why the Pats reporters didn't notice him and trumpet this. I'll never know.

I have noticed instances of it, but not that it is consistent.
I chalked it up to playing many plays in a row after being inacitve for much of camp.
Frankly what I notice was him manhandling the guy trying block him, but even more than that I was very impressed with how he found the ball disenaged from the block and made his way to the ball.
I will watch for what you are saying though.

Maybe getting that mass in motion makes it appear that hes slow off the mark, or he could be thinking instead of reacting. I just hope he can keep it up, he could solve a major problem if he can keep progressing.

Grade 1 Sprain: Slight stretching and some damage to the fibers (fibrils) of the ligament.
Grade 2 Sprain: Partial tearing of the ligament. If the ankle joint is examined and moved in certain ways, abnormal looseness (laxity) of the ankle joint occurs.
Grade 3 Sprain: Complete tear of the ligament. If the examiner pulls or pushes on the ankle joint in certain movements, gross instability occurs
