Ron Brace...

Where is he listed on the depth chart, these days. I was reviewing the Pats Depth on Yahoo and he's nowhere to be found except on the roster. I would've thought he'd be 2nd or 3rd based on what I saw of him against the Falc's. I think he backs up G Warren at the start of the season. I think he's back on track after passing his physical. He looked slimmed down and very good against the Falcons.

He's likely the #2 nose tackle.

With Wright likely moving to fill Ty Warren’s spot at DE, Brace moves up the chart to #2 NT. However, Belichick could get creative and put together some fronts that feature both WIlfork and Brace (think of the blockers that would absorb).

Brace looked okay, but he played mainly against the 2rd and 3rd offensive units, and was rather slow off the snap. He made some nice tackles, but it’s more important that he fly off the snap and make solid, forward-leaning contact with blockers to properly perform his role in the 3-4. He found himself getting pushed backward by 2nd and 3rd string O-linemen, and that’s not good at all.

I think Brace should be the 2nd N-tackle, Now your idea of a wilfork and Brace Line could work if Brace is in full health and full strenth. But are we sure that the Brace stock is on the rise? I hope it is.
