Coples, the 16th pick in last year’s draft who is transitioning from defensive end to outside linebacker this season, told The New York Daily News that he’ll have no problems covering Keller.
“Dustin Keller? I wouldn’t let him get off the line,” Coples said. “That’s the best way to cover, ain’t it?”
Coples didn’t stop at Keller, saying he can also stop Patriots’ tight end Rob Gronkowski. Coples was slightly more modest when it came to Gronk.
“Just don’t let him get off the line,” Coples told The Daily News. “I won’t just be one-on-one with him, I’ll have help.”
Keller, who looked like a key part of the Dolphins’ passing game in Monday’s OTA, will have to wait until December 1 to try to make Coples’ regret his words.

I don't understand what he said wrong there?

What is wrong is that it came from a Jet. Had it been a Dolphin we would have been writing how we loved the attitude.
I cant wait for the season to start so the posts here can be meaningful again.

He said he can stop stop Keller and Gronkowski and that he wouldn't even let them get off the line of scrimmage. I don't think Coples has ever shut down anyone in his pro career.

That's my point. What attitude?

"How do you defend an athletic TE?"..."You have to jam him at the line of scrimmage."

Wow. What a bitch.

These guys are IMO living a privileged life and given an opportunity that most football athletes never even get and these guys can just waste it all away with dumb immature and even selfish decisions.

All of the above and not staying motivated to be a hard worker, good person and model athlete. It shouldn't be a chore, it should be their way of life and approach to playing in the NFL.
