Default The Ron Brace disaster

I am still trying to figure out how BB whiffed on this guy. He is usually really really good at picking the DL. Was it a panic move to get leverage or insurance on Vince; i.e. was it forced on him by the bean counters?

So in your eyes then if you don't do it in your first year then you are a bust? Is that it?

Lets see how this season pans out before we go down that road.

It is far from a disaster at this stage.

Be prepared for the "he is only a 2nd year player,give him a chance" crowd in 5.....4.....3....2....1

Myron Pryor looked good as a rookie for the little he was out there but I see no Richard Seymour career ahead for him..you just have to wait and see

You mean the "rational" crowd?

Exactly. It was not like the Patriots did not need him; he could not get the job done. He was a blob. Seymour and Pryor looked great their first year. I cannot think of a lot of good defensive linemen for the Patriots that sucked in their first year but then played great.

Maybe Raji made Brace look good but how could the Patriot fall for that? There must have been money involved or some other factor besides football ability. Suspicious. The Vrable trade was also suspicious but for another reason (he dissed the ownership about money); if true it is disgraceful. Why can't Felger pick up this rant instead of trying to drive Moss out of town....

Young nose tackles take time to develop, Vince did. Like Brace he was a 4-3 tackle.

Fortunately, the Pats have all the time in the world, so relax, have a nice cigar and watch the games, while Brace gets to learn from the best.

Pryor didn't do much last year either. He played well in the preseason and then was active for most games. That didn't make him great. Brace was given the start when Wilfork was injured. He looked like a rookie. "Disaster" is a ridiculous overstatement, but what else would you expect from this board? Haha yeah, the Patriots could never pick a bad player, it must have been money or some sort of conspiracy.
