agreed. I had to bite my tongue when I read about his motor issues a few posts ago. What the heck game was that guy watching. The guy got tired playing all those snaps in that heat and it was his first NFL game! Yet some KIA thinks he has motor problems! Where the heck do we get these posters?

If Jones played three and a half quarters, he probably would have had similar or better stats than Coples. In 26 snaps, Jones had 5 QB pressures, drew 2 holding calls, and had two stuffs. Coples amassed all his stats vs. the 2s and 3s.

I watched both players play and Jones played better because he did what he did against better competition (the first string). Coples didn't really impress until he played the back ups.

Just give Chandler the DROY Award already and get it over with.
