Re: Brady AFC Offensive Player of the Week and Chandler Jones AFC Def. Player of Mont
Jet's coaching staff are idiots. They moved Coples to LB, a 6'6" 285 OLB. He had 5.5 sacks a s a rookie DE (half a sack less than Jones). BUT, Coples has been disruptive vs the running game, and has gotten pressure on the QB, but not as much as last year, only 1.5 sacks. I agree, If the Jets had taken Jones, their defense would be very scary to deal with. Not to diss the Jets or Jones, but Coples was the consensus as the better player prior to that draft. Some had Jones as a 3rd round pick, and MOST had Coples going in the top 10. Personally, I think the Jets are using him wrong (and I'm happy about that). If they ever got a clue, a Wilkerson/Coples DE tandem along with Richardson and Harrison as DT's would be much more dangerous. But what the hell do I know ? lol.
You lost me on Coples and Pace. Both are average at best.
Speaking of Coples, how much is Rex kicking himself for taking him over Chandler Jones. Imagine their defensive front if you swapped Coples for Chandler?
