Rushing the passer from the edge is a different proposition than rushing inside. Coples didn't project as a 4-3 DE because he didn't look like he was going to be all that good an edge rusher. Put him over a guard and he's money in the bank. I guess if the Jets can get him matched up on a TE there might be something there but it's not clear that he has the burst necessary to get to the QB from the edge even then.
i know his stats are not popping out.... but he isnt getting credit for what hes doin.. i really cant think of any player that can do the things hes being asked to do.. most players that are edge rushers/ interior players are just that...hes used in every spot witch alows us to really move coples. mo, richerson and pace in differnt spots.. we run a insane amout of differnt looks and because our depth chart says 3-4 doesnt mean we run that..it get way over looked
