Just watched the jets game. Starters didn't play long. Cal Pace looked like a beast. Big and and always near the ball or hurrying the QB. Didn't notice actually making plays but I got the sense he will. He may be worth what they paid. V Gholston looked apathetic, weak, slow and confused. One play he was unblocked and didn't get to Brady. He hurried him, but a lot of OLB/DE would have taken Brady's head off. He had only 3 tackles. One saved a long gain( only 5-8 yrds), but this was only after he got blocked backwards about 3-4 yrds. He will obvously improve once he learns the system and things slow down for him, but I always thought natural pass rushers did fairly well as rookies. D Bowens looked good at LB but i only noticed him later on against the second teamers.
Damn, missing out on Pace did hurt us a little....he was meant to be the answer for Jason Talyor. We'll see week one though. Well, Merriman and Ware were DEs who converted to OLB without problems. I expected Gholston to do the same. I guess not. He has time on his side at least. I still like David Bowens. Wish he would come back.
