It’s about time the Jets held a player accountable.
And, no, I am not just referring to Quinton Coples, the 2012 first-round draft pick who Jets coach Todd Bowles cut last Monday following Gang Green’s fourth loss in five games.
Coples was picked up and activated by Miami in time for him to serve primarily as an innocent bystander in the Jets’ 38-20 rout of the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
While some Jets said afterwards that they felt Bowles “sent a message” to the team, especially after a story leaked that alleged Coples was involved in “an incident” on the flight home from Houston last week, I tend to believe Bowles.
