Quote:I think he'd fit best as a strongside DE which we're loaded at, but I do think he could play some RDE on run downs. The biggest problem for us right now is that the market for true LEOs is putrid and the "best" available players like Coples and Upshaw aren't exactly great scheme fits. It's essentially time to take a flyer on a couple guys like that since they shouldn't demand much money and see if one ends up sticking.

 

  I would be surprised if Courtney Upshaw didn't sign with a 3-4 base Defense, in which he can continue to be a fence against the run at LOLB.  

 

  Of the two players,  Q. Coples appears to have much more versatility.   At a relatively modest price,  the Jaguars probably should give him an opportunity,  unless there's something we don't know about him that's significant.    The Jaguars salary cap situation provides flexibility that most teams don't have the luxury of attempting.
