Coples sits down with Charlie Campbell and discuss's the week leading up to the draft.

Coples also took and extended visit to the Panthers. Carolina could use help at defensive tackle and defensive end, so it could select Coples and draw on a deep class of tackles to land a quality interior lineman in the second round. In reflecting on his trip to the Panthers, Coples sounded very upbeat.

"It was great. It was definitely a lot of fun and there are a lot of great people over there. They definitely showed me a great time. I had fun with them. They showed me their defensive ends and their scheme. We went over some board work and had a great time. "

Coples could help fill needs for the Panthers at defensive end or tackle, and apparently they aren't the only team that feels that way. As a junior, Coples played a lot of defensive tackle, and he could add some more weight to play tackle in a 4-3 defense in the NFL. Coples said teams have discussed that with him.

He recently clarified that in his first interview with the dumbest analyst in major NFL media he meant he graded his performance as a C, not his effort. Plus, he was obviously nervous in that interview (or is just an extremely simple minded guy, another check on the list of Peppers comparisons). I can appreciate a guy that can honestly evaluate himself and isn't afraid to say it. If he HAD admitted to not giving 100%, that'd make me a little nervous about him but apparently that wasn't the case.

The fact that he admitted he was playing not to get hurt. That was just to get drafted. He may be good on a rookie contract. But if he gets a pay day what makes anyone think he won't go back to that attitude.

Considering the big contract will be the second one, he has millions of reasons not to take off plays.

That why I said after he signs his second contract. If I wasnt clear I expect him to play well on his first contract, but to be uninterested after he gets a big payday

I'm getting kind of sick of the Coples/Peppers comparison. I think people only use that one because they both went to UNC.

I wonder if Carolina has asked him about DT and would think of permanently moving him there.

If he bulked up, he could easily play DT.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
