Quinton Coples wants to live up to Rex Ryan's expectations

Posted Aug 29, 2012
Quinton Coples doesn't think his predicament with New York Jets coach Rex Ryan is as bad as it looks. Ryan said Monday that Coples, the Jets' first-round draft pick, gave him a "woe is me" type of look when Ryan pulled the defensive starters from Sunday night's preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, but left Coples in. "I don't think it bothered me at all," Coples said Tuesday. (NFL.com)
