Calvin Pace has made a mistake that may very well cost the NYJ a playoff birth. When breaking down the schedule I predicted us as going 8-8... best case scenario: Our 2009 Schedule
The first four games are Houston, N.E., Tenn., and New Orleans. Every NFL team needs as strong a pass rush as possible every week. But, when we are facing the top two QB's in the league (Brady/ Breeze) in your first four weeks the last thing we need is our best pass rushing LB out of commission. Injuries and suspensions can happen at any time. This is why I have stressed our weak D-line and lack of pass rush all through out this off-season.
I am not overly upset or disappointed by Pace. He was suspended for testing positive for a banned substance. The substance came from a legal over the counter supplement. He took responsibility and apologized to the fans and his teammates. Case closed as far as I am concerned.
Mike Tannenbaum is who I am disappointed with. He has left this team with two major holes... WR and D-line (TE is a major issue too, but these other two problems out weigh TE by a lot). The passing game is going to struggle and our lack of a pass rush is going to make our brilliant defensive mined head coach look like a fool.
Mr. T's glass house is already crashing down around him.
