Getty ImagesAfter his first practice at rookie minicamp, Jets first-round draft pick Quinton Coples told reporters he had had the playbook for a week, was given 10 DVDs of the Jets’ defensive game film from last season, and felt like he already knew most of what he would need to know.
“The defensive scheme, the majority of it is based off of what we got today,” Coples said, “so I grasped the majority of the defensive playbook today.”
Jets coach Rex Ryan laughed, however, when he was told that Coples thinks he has the playbook down.
“We love the fact that he thinks he has it down. This is one practice and he has like four defenses in and our library is a little more extensive than that,” Ryan said. “And the great thing is we will hold him to it now. So in the meeting that will be our first question, we will come up with something for him.”
Ryan said he loved the athleticism he saw from Coples on the practice field. Ryan will probably like Coples even better when Coples really does know the playbook.

Must not be too complicated.
.Prefect, that’s why the jets drafted him I guess.. He already knows how to stock his foot in his mouth
Perfect match! Did Coples say they’re winning the SuperBowl too….
Does he know the 1-20 plays that Tebow is going to run?
Jets Defensive Playbook:
See ball get ball. See not hard at all.
I hope he didn’t stick his foot in his mouth huh Rex?
Didn’t Ghost#1 (Gholston) also claim to quickly get the playbook down?
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but kudos to Rex! Nothing like a little comeuppance to bring a rookie back to earth. Welcome to the NFL!
Jets Defensive Playbook:
Nine guys after the qb. Revis and Cromartie hold the receivers.
With Tebow on the field he better know it. Cause he and the rest of the defense will be on the field the majority of game days.
I’m sure Rex will soon compare Coples to Lawerence Taylor.
I’ve heard Claiborne and Tannehil say the same thing. Really dumb. Rookies should just keep quiet.
You guys crack me up(speaking to PFT)… Did you really delete my comment because I simply said this story is misinterpreted and irrelevant?
If that’s a Yes, I won’t be seeing this post within the next hour…
If that’s a No, then you guys enjoy your Cinco de Mayo!..

6 sacks today
Coples will be a bust. Just watch.
I think if ur team hasn’t made the playoffs since 02 u have no right to say a team sucks
Q COPLES is already the best D lineman in the AFC EAST this dude will have 15 to 17 sacks this year and A MYBIN will get about 12 to 14 sack this year. the Jets will have a ferocious defense this year.
I’m happy he knows the playbook, because the rest of the team plays like they don’t know it.
Learn defense in one day — check.
Get a goddamn snack — check.
Take rest of year off — check.
No wonder Rexy drafted him. He’s big mouth buffoon cut from same mold as Rexy himself. Next thing you know this guy will be talking as if he’s Lawrence Taylor before he even plays his first game.
Sounds like a Yet!
It’s branded in Quinton’s mind.
He can take the rest of camp off like he takes plays off.
I can’t wait to watch this train wreck of a jets season unfold. All the pieces are in place for a tragicomedy of olympian proportions.
Not too hard. All they do is rush the qb and hope the qb doesn’t throw to whoever Revis isn’t defending.
Knowing the playbook isn’t the problem.
Executing the playbook is the problem.
Knowing the playbook is easy.
Belichick could teach him the Jets’ hand signals.

hate to use a cliche, but “there, fixed it for ya”.
wondering if they send email to all the stupid people and pay them to post on here – beacuse some of you really are clueless – how can you put Rex’s jets defense down and claim you know anything about football
@exibitsman
Really the best d-line in the AFC east??! It’s ok you only have to wait until week one to see how wrong you are when the best D- line in the East is slapping Sanchez around
Playbook? I don’t need no stink’n playbook!
Glad to see motivation isn’t a problem…
