Sperm Edwards Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 So you're probably certain about something. I have seen him play; I wasn't really paying specific attention to him. Have you? I just look at the stats and I don't care how people "see him play," he's not worth $42 million and $22 million guaranteed. True, but Mo Lewis was once a (deserved) SOLB for us despite not lighting it up in sack totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBrick Wall Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 What I don't get is: how the **** did we pass on Adalius Thomas last year and then do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Of course Sh1ithead thinks we made another bad move \ Par for the course Not true. I thought the Faneca and Jennings moves were both good. But paying this kind of money for a player with 14 career sacks and had over half of them just last season? Come on man. I'm just here to temper your enthusiasm a little. I would have liked to see Pace with the Patriots but for about half of that salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harris5214 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 What are you talking about This guy fits us to a "T" Perfect fit for the Jets 7 million year, plus 20 million upfront for somebody with 14 career sacks is what im talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny green balls Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 What I don't get is: how the **** did we pass on Adalius Thomas last year and then do this? good question. i think the answer is because tangina is less arrogant this year. they thought they had enough football acumen and cap sleight of hand to cobble together a winner.

Shame we will have to listen to the usual FO wannabe's posting negatively about a player they don't see game film on etc. If we weren't aggressive they'd be griping as well.

GimmeShelter Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Dude, who cares We are a much better team today And we have 3/4 players signed for our scheme Correct. Tangini gave players two seasons to adjust to the 3-4. They did not and now we are moving on. Amazing that some posters are now smarter than both Parcells and Mangini on this players value.

124 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Calvin Pace obviously signed because of the thread started by "D.Pace" asking us to explain why he should sign with the Jets. I really don't know about this move. 6 years, $42 million with $22 million guarenteed to a guy who has had one good season? Interesting and risky move by the Jets. I certainly think he will be the Outside Linebacker opposite Bryan Thomas. You don't give that kind of money to an ILB, you would think. The question now is this: What do the Jets do with the sixth overall pick? 1. Draft Gholston, move Pace to ILB or release Thomas. 2. Draft Darren McFadden. or 3. Trade Down.

Nope i defer that task to the FO just as Miami fans do with Parcells who also wanted him. Franseca just said we signed Woody as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetguy32 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Pace is better than Hobson. Who cares what we pay. Aren't u tired of losing? Now we can get a skill player with our 1st rounder and maybe have some weapons on the field for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Jets fans don't freak out about the money, unless your name is woody johnson it's not your concern Pace is a sleeper, people are sleeping on his talent Pace plus Thomas = pass rush these players will help each other out, big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets didnt pass on Thomas last year, Thomas passed on all the teams lined up for him. His first visit was with the Pats and he never visited another team. You cant blame Tangini for that.

nyjetsjetsjets Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I don't think anyone cares about how much money comes out of woody's pocket, they care about how much we are paying the guy because there is a salary cap, and some people are worried about overpaying a guy now and how that will affect the moves we want to make in the future.

The Pats seem to routinely move their LBs from outside to inside and back. I expect that Pace will do the same. Anyway, there is no assurance that Gholston will be there. What would the Jets do if Chris Long, Gholston and McFadden are gone and no one wants to pony up for the pick? Dorsey, Ellis and Jake Long are no longer great fits for the Jets.

That is a whole lot of money for a guy who has only had 1 good season, and it's not like he was amazing last year anyway. I'm just gonna trust the FO here as they must think he is a perfect fit in the 3-4. I hope they are right but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsey, Ellis and Jake Long are no longer great fits for the Jets. Jake Long could still be a RT and slide Woody into RG and move Moore to back-up. Just saying. I think they will move down from 6, or CB could be an option now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I liked Jenkins, could live with, and under stand Faneca Pace + Thomas = pass rush ??? No it doesn't......... Pace + Thomas = 8 1/2 sacks. Not exactly the Sack Exchange. Ellis had 5, and everyone says he sucks. I don't usually get on the FO, but I hate this move. There are a bunch of pass rushers in this draft. If they like him for the inside, why are they paying him like he has led the NFL in sacks the last 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is big and will be a solid addition in run defense. He is a versatile player. Its a pretty good signing (better, IMO, than Woody at 25 and 11).

PeterNorth09 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Good signing, hopefully this guy doesn't turn out to be another Bryan Thomas. Jenkins, Faneca and now Pace. Gotta love this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetme23 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I don't understand this 'getting on bryan thomas' bandwagon. NO one on our defense, excluding revis and rhodes, had a decent year..If you are a lineman and cant stop the oline from getting your lb's your lb's are not going to produce.. I think with the beefing on our line, we can expect better numbers from our LB core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
