Quinton Coples on LB move: A work in progress

Posted Oct 15, 2013
Quinton Coples doesn't have much to show for his switch to outside linebacker. Since returning from a hairline fracture in his right ankle, Coples has been off to a slow start. He played his fewest snaps of the season in Sunday's 19-6 loss to Pittsburgh. When the Jets moved Coples from defensive end to outside linebacker during the offseason, they envisioned him being a menacing force off the edge. (ESPN.com)
