It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Maybe worried is too strong a word, but his progress being slower than Pryor's is a concern. Not saying in any way that he won't develop into a fine player, just saying I expected him to be in a rotation by now.
In passing, I don't know how many "wow" players will come out of the 09 draft, but there are quite a few contributors already - especially late : Ingram, Pryor, Edleman...

My guess is he's a redundant piece right now - Pryor is more of a pass-rushing DT, while Brace is a big run-stuffer like Wilfork - only problem is he's just like Wilfork, meaning we have one of the best run-stuffing DTs in the league right now - we should keep in mind that while the other rookies are contributing more so far, no one else is playing at the same position as a pro-bowler (except vollmer, but that's because Light's hurt.)
Keep in mind, in this scenario, I'm saying Wilfork and Brace are "battling" for one position, Pryor and Wright for the other - if that's the case, it makes sense for Pryor to see the field way more often than Brace.
In which case couldn't he be spelling Wilfork, who we know has had a bad ankle, especially when we're 52-0 up
He may just be insurance for Wilfork this year and that's it.
