New Faces: WR Santonio Holmes, OLB Calvin Pace, WR Deion Branch, RB Danny Woodhead, and G Logan Mankins didn’t play in the first game. They can be difference-makers.
Calvin Pace

How well can he handle the smaller, quicker wide outs?

If Cassel released it on Thomas' cut, the required touch would had floated the pass over LB Calvin Pace's hand and to the target just before LB Eric Barton arrived. That's 14 points the offense missed out on, not including the other trips into the red zone.

Woody to shore up a porous offensive line that allowed 53 sacks, added two linebackers (free agent Calvin Pace and first round draft pick Vernon Gholston) to improve a dismal pass rush that produced 29 sacks, and changed nose tackles in two separate trades (bye Dwayne Robertson, hello Kris Jenkins) to fortify a mediocre run defense that was ranked 15th in the league.

The New York Jets signed DE/LB Calvin Pace from Arizona. Why is this good news? Because if the Jets can fill a pass rush hole through free agency, then they will turn their attention to other needs when the NFL Draft arrives. Remember, the Jets are a pick ahead of New England and need to improve a pass rush that had just 29 sacks last year. DE/LB Shawn Ellis tied for the team lead in sacks with five. The other guy was David Harris, an inside linebacker! That's not supposed to happen in a 3-4 defense.
