Coples to Rams

I wanted Coples bad and thought he fit what we needed (pass rushing 4-3 DE with size, young) that fit DG's mold (reclamation project, upside, budget-friendly).  Given his UNC ties, thought Coples would be a good add, but In DG we trust.

Funny how the DE musical chairs continues......

Rams OUT: Chris Long  - Rams IN: Quinton Coples

Patriots OUT: Chandler Jones - Patriots IN: Chris Long

Cardinals IN: Chandler Jones

Between Price, Personality, Position, and Playing Time, I wouldn't rule out Personality as the big reason we didn't sign him. Gettleman wants players who hate losing, and Coples has that rep in the NFL of not trying hard

Obviously many Panther fans are Chapel Hill fans, while many are also not.  I get the vibe the Panthers FO is neutral at best with that school, and certainly don't let that sway their opinion.

    • I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).
    • I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move 
    • While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
