And with the 16th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft the New York Jets select QUINTON COPLES.
Another pass rusher. I thought the Jets might go another way. They get tend to draft well but also makes big splashes. Talent alone Quiton Coples is tops. The question has never been his ability. It’s a question of will and motor. Is he going to try every play? Let’s hope, that locker room might not be the best situation for him. On the other hand, Rex Ryan is one of the best at the nobody believes in us and we’re better than everyone else thinks. That brash attitude might be good for Coples.
League sources tell FOXSports.com that owner Woody Johnson wants his team back on the HBO hit show and has communicated that to the network. But his outspoken coach is against the project.
Ryan, according to sources, does not want any more of a circus type atmosphere around the Jets after last season’s bickering and collapse and this offseason’s trade for Tim Tebow.
Rex Ryan unabridged vocabulary and HBO’s uncensored formatting are a match made in heaven.
If for nothing else, I’d tune in just to see Tim Tebow cringe and try to “clean” his couch up a little. ”Coach, you need to find God!” ”I have, Tim, he resides between my wife’s sexy f***ing toes.”
Tebow might have to dip into an ice bath filled to the brim with holy water after every speech Rex gives.
“I understand what they were going through. You don’t get many opportunities to have a chance to sign Peyton Manning. What a great quarterback he is.”
On Rex Ryan:
“I wanted to play for Coach Ryan ever since I saw ‘Hard Knocks. He just seemed like a coach who loves football and is passionate about the game of football. He’s definitely a players’ coach. I just love that about him. I have so much respect for Coach Ryan. He’s a coach you want to play for, a coach you want to go out there and do good for. … There’s not many NFL locker rooms you’re going to go where you have the cleanest language, so I’m not too worried about that.”
On Mark Sanchez:
“Mark called me and left a voicemail. I was searching through all my voicemails and I heard his and I called him back. We talked, got a chance to catch up a little bit. It was a great conversation. We’ve been blessed to get to know each other the last three years. I think we’re both extremely competitive. I think we’ll be able to push each other to get a lot better. I think we’ll have a great working relationship, and we’ve had a great relationship off the field. He’s such a classy guy. I’ll be very honored to call him my teammate.”
On his new situation:
“I feel like this is a great opportunity for me to develop. I think the scheme we’ll be playing in is a great scheme to play under and improve every day. My goal is just to be the best player, the best quarterback, the best teammate I can be and improve every single day and earn everything I get by working hard and find a way to help the team in whatever role that is.”
“It’s definitely not a fun place to be, I can assure you. It’s the first time I’ve ever been around extremely selfish individuals, and I think that’s maybe the nature of the NFL. But there were people within our locker room that didn’t care whether we won or lost, as long as they got their … they really had good games individually. That’s the disappointing thing, and it’s going to take a lot to kind of come together.”

So, we’re not expecting this story to die anytime soon, are we?
Probably not the best time to release this ad, Pepsi.
“Yes, there is definitely a thought that this could be because you never know how things shake out. For me, it just depends on the situation. I’ve said that before. I would love to keep playing, but if the situation is not right, then I won’t. This possibly could be my last game.
Yes, it is weird, but this is how I see it: If it is my last game, I’ve enjoyed 11 years of playing football, playing a kid’s game [with] two great organizations. Obviously, being here the last couple of years, I’ve really enjoyed my time here. The fans have been great. My teammates have been great. The coaching staff. There is nothing I could complain about.”
