Re: Jets' Coples Removed From Starting Base Formations
=========================================
Yes, Pettine was interviewed and said a couple of interesting things about this.
They wanted to throw QC into the fire so to speak and let him learn that he doesn't know, they played everywhere on the line and even gave him reps at LB. Pettine said the idea was to break him, then build him back up. Build him back up by putting him in certain packages (like DE on 3rd down plays) and let him focus on limited aspects of his game/position rather then overwhelm the rookie with everything.
Pettine said this is similar to how they brought along Mo Wilkerson last year.
It all makes sense to me.
Didn't he announce that he had the playbook down on the first day of OTA's?
Rex obviously likes guys with confidence.
