Did you forget what forum you're posting in? Chandler Jones could have been on IR since pre-season and 95% of jet 'fans' on TGG would be clamoring for him over Coples.
Wilkerson is putting together a nice little run in the late stages of this season. I like what i'm seeing from him. The core of our defense is set Harris, Wilkerson, Coples, Ellis, Davis, Cromartie, Landry and Revis. We just need that one stud OLB.
Coples and (especially) Wilkerson have been two real bright spots for the Jets this year (in what has been, for the most part, a terrible, terrible season).
I haven't seen the Coples domination that many are inferring. But I also can't say he is a bust. It is too early for either declaration IMO
People overrate Landry a little bit. He misses a few too many tackles and assignments in key situations. I like what he brings overall though. He and Bell are fine, but either one would be better off complementing a rangier safety.
Same reason Mcelroy wont get any reps even if we lose the next two straight......because Rex is a retard.
Next year after he has had some time to settle in i bet he will be more precise. the guy hits like a fucking freight train though. No denying that. Watching him at camp hit dummies....theres just something different about the way Landry hits. its brutal.
He does love to hit people. When he hit Edelman in the Thanksgiving day game I'm pretty sure guys on the Patriot bench felt it.
we have some good young pieces but definitely need to upgrade LB position. The kid Teo from ND would look good in green
Did Coples play a lot yesterday? I admit, i haphazardly watched the game between Black Ops II sessions, but every time the D was on the field i looked for 98 and didn't see him. Which doesn't make me warm and fuzzy. Yahoo stats have him as 1 pass defensed, that's it.
