Dolphins claim former Jets pass rusher Quinton Coples
No. 16 New York Jets: DE Quinton Coples, North Carolina Coples collected a combined 17 1/2 sacks the past two seasons, lining up variously at end and tackle. He has been compared favorably to Julius Peppers but also criticized for not going hard on every play. "You know, I'm a big guy. I'm a long-strider, things of that nature, so where it may come fast to me in a game, on film it's slowing down a little bit," Coples explains. "People have their own opinions. Some people don't even think it was a problem." (John Bazemore / Associated Press) The Miami Dolphins have claimed former New York Jets defensive end Quinton Coples off waivers, adding the former first-round pick to Miami's injury-decimated defensive line.
