How much will Jim Leonhard's injury hurt the Jets?

Jets S Jim Leonhard suffered a season ending broken leg in practice Friday going for a jump ball. A defensive captain, Leonhard was an important part of the Jets' defense. His leadership will be missed on and off the field. But how much will the Jets miss him on the field?
I believe that the Jets will not miss Leonhard too much on the field. He was good against the run but struggled in coverage and was demolished by TEs (partially because he is 5"8). The Jets will not drop off too much with Pool and Smith and perhaps will be better in coverage. Also we should see more time for James Ihedigbo who I am really high on and who is a great blitzer. Jets fans should not be discouraged by this injury. The Jets' defense will excel despite this loss.
