RESNewYork Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Since Bowles runs a 3-4 defense, would it be possible to move Wilkerson to the nose and Coples to the end position? I know Wilkerson lined up at the nose last season on passing downs. Coples also had success playing the end position in the 3-4 which I think is his ideal position. Even more so than the end spot on a 4-3. I guess the question is can Wilkerson play the nose full time. He definitely has the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBallhawk Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Bowles doesn't run a 3-4, it's mostly a 4-3 with some other formations sprinkled in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 bowles said he will install his defense, and see how they do, then adjust to their abilities I think we should keep the good players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Bowles doesn't run a 3-4, it's mostly a 4-3 with some other formations sprinkled in. that's my understanding as well...Which would be ideal for the Jets. - Coples hand in the dirt would be a major upgrade to this D. But even still - from everything we've heard about Bowles is, he creates the defense to best suit is talent - as opposed to force a square peg in a round hole we've seen in the past.

LouisvilleSlugger25 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I am still a huge fan of Coples. And while Rex is a brilliant D-coordinator, I think Bowles is better at making his system fit his players. So I could see Coples exploding under Bowles. I could see the jets moving Wilkerson only because he is closer to a big contract and would be more coveted by a team that is need of a stud D-lineman. Richardson has already surpassed (in my mind) Mo Wilk as the best player on the dline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
