Bracing For The Big Fella
March 16th, 2009Joe is throwing up this reminder about Boston College defensive tackle Ron Brace working out for the Bucs on April 2.
Joe reported this on Saturday, but it’s Monday afternoon and the local media has ignored the Associated Press report out of Boston.
Here’s a small nugget on Brace from draft guru Justin Pawlowski, of The Sports Animal, who writes much more about him in his daily draft analysis here at JoeBucsFan.com.
Impact on the Bucs roster: Jim Bates has always had defensive tackles that are big and take up multiple blockers. Brace fits that mold. Conditioning shouldn’t be a problem if the Bucs are truly going to run a rotation with their defensive tackles in the middle. Brace would finally be a physical presence in the middle of the Bucs defensive line. Do you take Brace with the 19th pick? He won’t last to the Bucs next pick in the 3rd round. By the way, does anyone know who Brace’s head coach was last year at Boston College? Yep, it was new Bucs offensive coordinator, Jeff Jagodzinski. Hmmm.
