Calvin Pace Out 6 Weeks

But I think we can win without him. I mean we did it last year with Vernon Gholston starting right?

couldn’t hurt

I say this because this doesn’t happen if the starters aren’t left in way longer then they should have been.

I guess it depends on how comfortable they feel with the young guys lower on the depth chart to determine whether they go after Thomas.

I have to disagree with all of those people who say it won’t matter. Why does he even start then? Why don’t the Jets just cut him and save the money on his salary? The team can survive it, sure, but this is a better football team with Pace in the lineup.

Seriously, injuries happen to starters on every team. Now the question becomes, do we have enough depth at the OLB position that Pace’s absence doesn’t prevent the team’s success? Jason Taylor has been the gold-standard of the position for a decade, and in this league there will always be a diamond in the rough that can seem to come out of nowhere and put on a great performance (Dumervil anyone?). Who knows – maybe the next big thing is already on the roster, biding his time, waiting for an opportunity to get on the big stage and knock Brady off his pedestal and onto the ground.

But let’s not jump to the conclusion that just because Pace is gone means we can’t find a sub for him, much less win without him – just ask Kris Jenkins.

i would like to see westerman step up and take control

Pace worries me… out last year, out this year, out with the Cardinals that he’s being sued for… why’s he on our payroll? This is, in my opinion, is a huge blow… sure we did it last year but he made us better this year… Sure hope Taylor has stuff left in the tank like he says he does…

At least we have Darrelle Rev…ahhhhh crap.

We held the line without Pace in the first four last year, excellent point. But later in the year he became and unsung hero and was really a major part of the defensive onslaught we unleashed.

BUT I think this is a gift in disguise. They may not do it still but I think Rex and T should seriously consider Adalius Thomas. I think Taylor is a great athlete with stuff left in the tank but I would feel so much better with Thomas on the roster to spell him.

it should be considered,they should do that due diligence thing they talk about. I was hoping for a good year from Pace. He seemed motivated, that hit he put on Eli is burned into my subconscious now and forever.
