“who?” is a 6’8″ 310+ lbs. behemoth who was manhandling the Jags tackles in the second half. Get used to him, he’s going to be our guy at DE for the next few years, alongside Devito. It’s nice you’re so quick to call them both backups when they’ve had…oh…about 10 seconds to show their worth so far this season. How about you wait a while before writing off two guys who are 24 & 25 years old.

Steelers have Woodley & Harrison. Gmen have about 10 DE’s. Ravens have Suggs and J. Johnson. Eagles would definitely take Pace (Victor Abiamiri?? What?) So would the Vikings (no thanks, Ray Edwards). My point is every team has different strengths. You think the Broncos wouldn’t want Pace instead of Mario Haggan? You don’t think the Bengals wished they had him right now? The Pats? The Cowboys wouldn’t start him over Anthony Spencer? Pace is a very good football player, and would start on many contenders defenses.

Just keep in mind that there are 5 “proven” SB winning HC’s available next year.

(1) Cower (The Golden Chin)
(2) Holmgren
(3) Shanahan
(4) Gruden (Add Bill Callahan to the mix and just think of the possibilities).
(5) Fassel

Wow. Let’s just say I disagree. A lot. Calvin Pace would not start on the Steelers, or the Giants, or the Eagles, or the Ravens, or the Vikings, or the Pats… in other words, any legit contender that considers their defense to be elite. Pace is a nice player, don’t get me wrong. But if he’s your best pass rusher, you are in serious trouble.

I won’t even comment on Devito and Pitoutoua (who?) being forces on the d-line. They are backups (maybe) on an elite team.

Listen I never said you cant say anything negative or knock the Jets when they do bad. I do too, but what my issue is is the quick axe that some people have. Listen Shotty yes should go. let him get his head coaching job some where. But we still do not know what Rex is yet it is not fair to say exactly what kind of coach he is. The book is still out on him. I do applaud you for sticking with the team I know it is tough and frustrating but there is still plenty of football to play, and if it don’t work out then there is always next year..LOL. Yah and I hated that superbowl too, just like this past world series being a Mets fan.

reality jet fan,
Iam not saying they are bad fans, I think that it just ads to the frustration. Besides the koolaid is good! LOL

Since I’m ranting…. I will never root for the Giants because they are the other local team, and so you know I’ve boycotted the Giants/Pats SB a few years ago because I despise both teams.

Pace an overpaid backup? Have you watched any games this year. The guy is a force, plain and simple. Our linebackers are fine, although an upgrade over Thomas would be nice. Our D-line needs more studs, that is certain. Ellis may be aging, but he is one of the best D-lineman in the league. If you compare him to DT’s instead of DE’s (because he really plays a DT-style position) then you’d see his production is more than solid. Pouha, Devito and Pitoitua are all showing they have potential to be very good D-line. I saw Devito and Pitoitua yesterday creating chaos with their penetration. They’re both big and strong and young. Not everyone can be a Pro-Bowler, but those guys are the future at DE for us. Leonhard had a ridiculous game yesterday, and if not for the club he was forced to wear he would have had an INT and a forced fumble. The talent is there, we just need more time in the scheme and a few more pieces.
