Good article. I think much like BT, Pace is underrated or unnoticed when it comes to the run game even though he might be a below average pass rusher.
The problem is he was signed to a huge deal and peopleunfairly expected a high # of sacks, that's never who he was PLUS he was playing hurt last year which dramatically affected his production. This year he's playing the best I have seen him play in his 3+ years here.
Indeed,he's been the best player behind Revis on our defense this season. Although he did have a rough game on Sunday.
I agree with this. Ironically since the Jets overall looked better, it was not one of Calvin's best games, but for most of this season so far, he has played quite well.
Yes, it needs to be said. Not necessarily a Pro Bowl year, but he's definitely contributing a great deal. With Thomas out his contribution is even more essential.
Pace is basically a much better version of Bryan Thomas. They are similar players who do the same things.. Pace is just better, especially as a pass rusher. While he's not dominant by any stretch, he's still a very solid pass rusher, and a very good all-around player.
