Ron Brace
 
Is this your last year of potential hope for him? Or he is an official "bust". We drafted him pretty highly back in 2009. He is going on his 4th year

Well if I were him I'd be planning to pass the conditioning run day 1. Clearly this is a make or break camp for him.

This guy has been so disappointing. He has the natural ability to be a starting caliber DT/DE but so far he just hasn't had the work ethic to reach his full potential.

Yeah, the work ethic to stay healthy is a pita to maintain

He's already a bust- IMO he's more likely to get cut before the season than to be a meaningful contributor. If he does make the roster, it will be largely because his position happens to be the one where we have the least depth, but even then I wouldn't be surprised to see a JAG/other team's cut come in and beat him out for a spot.

Chad Jackson is a bust, Brace is a guy that can't stay healthy.

Other then Vince he is our most talented DT. I think he would have a better opportunity used as our 3-4 nose guard and bouncing Vince to RE as the attacker or LE against running teams.

I don't think Brace has the agility to play end. Love is to small to play any 3-4 position so Brace is really somebody we need to show up this year.

Brace has had 3 years to show. If the Patriots can find a veteran placeholder or two, Brace will likely be looking for a new employer soon.
