Have to be good teams that are desperate and think the cuttees will get grabbed off waivers before their turn though.
Random thought from a pure speculation standpoint: The Giants have had a run of injuries along the defensive line and I had the thought that perhaps they might be a trade partner for the Patriots if they were seeking help. Maybe Tom Coughlin dipping into his old BC background and seeing if a change of scenery might bring out the best in Ron Brace? At times in training camp, Brace has looked very good, but there simply might not be room for him on the Patriots' roster.
Deaderick >> Brace in my book. From all reports the Pats were using him exclusively at DT in camp so far, and he's been ahead of Brace. IIRC, he played both inside and out at Alabama.
I don't think Brace makes the team. Reiss has suggested the Pats may trade him, though it's pure speculation. I think he's shown some flashes but not enough consistency, and after 3 years consistency is what's needed. Marcus Harrison and Marcus Forston have showed as much, and both have more upside. JMHO.
Don't know why Deaderick and Brace are bing compared..we need a heavy presence on the goal line...Deaderick weighs in at 305lbs.Deaderick will make he roster, but not at the expense of someone like Brace.
We have Big Vince (325), Warren (315) and the Brace (330) who has conditioned very well. We ideally need two of these guys for our goal line package at least. I prefer The younger Brace myself but you can't go much wrong with either.
I really liked what I saw out of Forston and Harrison. I see no room for them so I hope that at least Forston can make it onto PA. Not sure if Harrison has PA eligibility?
I'll take Marcus Harrison (6'3" 318#, 28 years old) over both of Warren and Brace.
