The question came up [...]

The Jets LB core has a LOT of false presumption. What’s the name you hear most? Probably Bart Scott. Maybe Calvin Pace. Well I’ll break down each section to show who the real best LB is.
PASS RUSH:
1) Calvin Pace. Not an outstanding pass rusher, but he’s decent. He did have 8 sacks even with the [...]

Anybody have this one either?
Like DePaul stealing Oliver Purnell in the night earlier this month, Iowa State going out and bringing in Fred Hoiberg was a move nobody saw coming.
