gangreenman Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The NY Daily News is "hearing" that the Jets have "an excellent chance" to get free agent OLB Calvin Pace signed. They're in direct competition with the Dolphins. Sports Illustrated jumped the gun by declaring Pace a 'Fin already. Pace hasn't decided yet. -Rotoworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEJet Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I'd rather pay for a guy like Pace, who is on the upside, than Gholston at 6 for BIG BIG $$$$$ Sign Pace Sign Woody Draft BAP at 6 (QB Included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEJet Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I think McFadden is the way to go Stewart and Mendenhal are nice players, but DMC is the real deal I'd be real happy with DMC, Ellis, Ryan, Merling...whomevr falls to us there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gholston in the middle, you want me to have nightmares? If we sign Pace and draft Gholsten, there will be a 3-way compettition between Thomas, Pace, and Gholston for the 3 OLB spots. We do need an ILB also though now that Vilma is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the release of Jason Taylor about to come, Long will most likely be the #1 overall pick. If not him, the other Long, Jake, would probably be the second most likely selection. Gholston will be there at six, most likely, and if so the Jets HAVE to take him. A pass rushing OLB who can beat a one on one blocking situation is our biggest need. Running Back is near the bottom in terms of need. No thanks on Bust DMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Gholston would be a good pick even if he onle came in on 3rd downs or passing downs his rookie year and our LB core looked like this.

PeterNorth09 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Do not overrate Calvin Pace. Look at his career stats. He had one good year in Arizona in a contract year. This guy could be Bryan Thomas II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is nothing like Bryan Thomas. He plays strong side LB. He can also play the middle and is great in coverage. Bryan Thomas is strictly a pass rushing weakside LBer who can drop into coverage when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Please go to Miami, even though I know you won't. Pace is a typical Jets signing. Veteran player that's supposedly coming into his own and has major upside. That never, ever works out for us. In fact, we just cut Justin McCareins, a/k/a Calvin Pace '04.

JonEJet Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 What makes you think that Gholston will be a bust and that DMC will be a sure thing? Just a hunch,,,DMC agaisnt the best of the SEC was a POWERHOUSE Gholston against LSU was horrible Until I moved down here always thought the talk of SEC footbal being the best was BS....no more. SEC and ACC football, along with Pac 10 are the best conferences Big 10, and Big 12 have slipped.....too many big white guys in the middle of the country (didn't say that to offend anyone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 pace in the middle? Yes, he has played the middle effectively in the past. Guys, Pace is like an Adalius Thomas. That is exactly what he is. He can move almost anyplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Mart28 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Do not overrate Calvin Pace. Look at his career stats. He had one good year in Arizona in a contract year. This guy could be Bryan Thomas II. It was also the year that the team converted into a 34, thats in part why Pace narrowed his choices down to 34 teams (Jets, Niners, Miami) because it fits him better. It's possible that it was due to a contract year as well, but this guy should be an improvement over Hobson and Thomas even if his play goes down a little bit.

Like marshall falk said.. this guys can win games.. we need a home run threat.. We have one..his name is Leon Washington..and he barely costs us a penny. Adding to the right side of the line now will solidify our running game..and we can finally get to see the real potential of a TJ/Leon backfield.

IF the OSU coach was smart enough to send a blitzer his side, Gholston would have been freed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
