Coples, a shade under 6-6 and 281 pounds, was a consistent threat off the edge and used his long arms and obvious upper body strength to rag-doll pass blockers on his way to the quarterback. Perhaps the most impressive play of the game from Coples, however, came as a run defender. He shook off a block from Iowa State right tackle Kelechi Osemele and with one arm stopped the momentum of running back Isaiah Pead and threw him to the ground for a two-yard loss on 3rd and goal. If Coples played with the same intensity throughout his senior season that he did throughout the week in Mobile, he might have been the easy choice as the top defensive prospect in the 2012 draft. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com[/SIZE][/FONT]</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table> <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="630" align=""><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="630" align=""><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="550">[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-2]01/23/12 - 2012 SENIOR BOWL WEIGH-IN IMPRESSIONS: With some prospects impressing with their athletic frames, there will naturally be some disappointments. It is worth repeating that the NFL is full of prospects who appeared too small, too heavy or too thin in shorts only to prove Pro-Bowlers on the field. Still, the relatively soft builds for Washington running back Chris Polk, Alabama center William Vlachos, Boise State defensive lineman Billy Winn and Marshall defensive end Vinny Curry were a bit surprising. So too was the fact that North Carolina defensive end Quinton Coples, NFLDraftScout.com's top-rated prospect in Mobile for this game, measured in lighter than expected at 281 pounds. Coples measured in at just under 6-6 (6-5, 3/4") and had been listed by the Tar Heels at 285 pounds and some expected him to measure closer to 295. Clearly, Coples is attempting to prove he's lean and athletic enough to remain at defensive end rather than move back inside to defensive tackle. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com[/SIZE][/FONT]</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table> <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="630" align=""><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="630" align=""><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="550">[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-2]12/04/11 - 2011 ALL-ACC FIRST TEAM (MEDIA): DE-Quinton Coples, North Carolina (64), has been selected All-ACC First Team for the 2011 college football season as voted on by 45 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. Coples is the first repeat first-team all-conference selection at UNC since Julius Peppers in 2000 and 2001. A native of Kinston, N.C., Coples finished the regular season with 51 tackles, 13.0 tackles for losses of 64 yards and 7.5 sacks for 51 yards despite constant double teams all season.

They are allowing only 123 yards a game on the ground.

Thanks Alo! In noticing these were games North Carolina lost, I wonder how he looked in games they won. We used to see a lot of Robert Quinn highlights when North Carolina was ahead in pin their ears back mode against opponents like Duke, Citadel, GA Southern and Wake Forest racing clock.

Having said that, I'd rather see Coples sacking Boyd near the end of your video vrs the ACC Champions. We need to see what prospects can do against the better competition. I DID notice he hurries passers and commands the double teams scouts speak of quite consistently. I like the way he always seems to come in off the edge at the depth of the QB drop back. On occasions plays went backside, he kept that depth in case there was any misdirection that could come back. That's a well coached player maintaining discipline. Best of all, he was playing RDE where we need the most help. As JJ Watt showed people in 2011, it's not ALWAYS about the sacks. If you do ALL things right like raise your hand when you get close to a QB ready to throw, it can reward the defense with an INT for a TD. There was another game late in the season when a RB had nobody on him in the red zone and JJ blocked the pass. The most ironic thing about JJ was Houston ended up using more 4 man fronts in the second half of the season so it's a REALLY good thing he offered up the skill-set like you see in Upshaw this year Alo.

I only caught a little bit of the Senior Bowl and Coples looked like he had the best game of the DEs in the brief period I watched. I also noticed Upshaw was playing DE while Ingram was kicked inside next to him. The first thing that came to mind was if only LSU could have borrowed Mike Adams to put in front of Upshaw. That was impressive. Meanwhile, I heard Mayock say Ingram was one of the most impressive DEs in the 1 on 1 drills vrs Senior Bowl caliber offensive line talent. He was kept pretty quiet in the game though.

These days I have to be careful about my Senior Bowl conclusions. I once made the mistake of reminding an old message board that Charlie Frye was the Senior Bowl MVP when he was surrounded with talent. Next thing you know, I was convicted of being the biggest Charlie Frye fan on the planet. Evidently, I continue to commit the mortal sin of rooting for the QBs we draft instead of guys that land on other teams. If Frye pans out, do we ever overrate Brady Quinn enough to trade away day 1 of the 2008 draft on an alleged "pro ready" whippersnapper that belonged in round 3? Even worse, Quinn was so bad Derek Anderson was the QB who was handed tenure so what was I thinking wanting Frye to spare us from 5 years of setback here. There's a method to the madness of hoping a 3rd round QB CLEVELAND drafted succeeds when guys like Sam Bradford, Christian Ponder, Blaine Gabbert, and Josh Freeman aren't keeping their franchises from drafting in the top 7 in 2012. Since 2007, supply and demand hasn't been putting Peyton Manning on our 1st round doorstep contrary to popular opinion. If you think it has - then take a look at what teams are drafting in the top 7. Now imagine if any or all those teams traded away considerable portions of their next few drafts - somebody else would possess those prime draft spots in 2012 needed to help their young QBs.

If RGIII is gone - a talented RDE could really boost our defensive to the next level as other talented QB prospects could land on our doorstep as early as #22 overall or a little later. I'd prefer RGIII if we don't have to give away too many draft picks on a team with gaping holes everywhere. I just want us to realize it won't be the end of the world if we don't get him and posses the options to make us more balanced throughout the roster.

I'm not as high on Ingram as you are, Tom. What concerns me is that so much of his production came lined up inside on passing downs against slow-footed guards. When he matched up against good OTs like Georgia's Cordy Glenn, he was completely neutralized. A look at his stats shows that he wasn't the most consistent sack artist: he disappeared against some of the better teams he faced.

Ultimately, I think he'll be similar to Adalius Thomas: put him in a dynamic D that allows him to exploit mismatches, and you'll have an explosive playmaker. However, if you ask him to line up at RDE on every down, he could turn out to be a big disappointment.

That's not a bad point Alo. My first impression of him was against Vanderbilt so it probably got a little more inflated than it should have. I wasn't all that impressed with him in the Senior Bowl game I watched while playing over the Guard while Upshaw faced Mike Adams. Mike Mayock seems really high on Ingram and said he had aced the one on one drills. The more I've looked into him the more I think he takes plays off. I think your boy Upshaw might be a better DE at the next level.
