Calvin Pace to rush passer more

The Jets plan to lean on OLB Calvin Pace for more pass rushing this season, according to Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger. Several elements went into Pace recording just 5.5 sacks in 2010. The team asked him to be more than just a rusher, including dropping into coverage and eating up blockers. Pace also never fully recovered from a broken bone in his right foot that cost him the 1st 4 games. Pace set career highs in sacks in each of his 1st 2 years with the Jets, including 8 in just 12 games in 2009. He has 10-sack potential and is worth a later-round flier in sack-friendly IDP formats.
