Not much but hey, it's news.
Todd Bowles, on @nfl_AM, says #Jets D isn't complete yet. "We still have a ways to go getting the players we want."
Todd Bowles, on @nfl_AM, reiterates Geno Smith is "the No.1 guy right now." Notes Fitzpatrick is injured + the draft isn't here yet.
Todd Bowles on Geno being No. 1: "There’s nobody else we have...Geno is our guy right now."
Todd Bowles says he sees potential in Geno Smith, but ... "You can’t have turnovers in this league, no matter who you are."
#Jets coach Todd Bowles says Geno Smith will get first team reps in training camp to start. Then it’s up to him to keep the job.
#Jets plan to go with best player available on draft day, Bowles said
Todd Bowles doesn't have a problem with Brandon Marshall appearing on Showtime NFL show. Program is taped on Tuesdays (players day off).
Jets coach Todd Bowles: "I don’t ever go into a season trying to be 8-8. That’s not a good season for me, I’m sorry."
More Todd Bowles: "My job is to bring a Super Bowl to the city."
Todd Bowles takes exception to a reporter (not me) describing the locker room as 53 maniacs: "You make it sound like Con Air."
Bowles doesn't view Calvin Pryor as true box safety. He'll be used close & farther away from LOS. But he'll start off as Jets strong safety
The Jets will have a private workout with Jameis Winston, per Todd Bowles.
And one random note I saw:
Ken Whisenhunt on Marcus Mariota: "If he comes to us at No. 2, he's definitely going to be the day 1 starter..I'm very impressed by Marcus."

So the defense isn't complete? What about the offense (other than the obvious, QB). I wonder why he felt the need to say that.

If Mariota is off the board, Bowles is picking edge rusher at #6 unless trade occurs for more picks. IMO he's going to ride his defense to victories all year long until offense figures it out. We'll get QB, RB, WR in this draft. The Famous Jets will be like the Cardinals last year. Tough to score on. |

I think we improved the oline with the FAs we are also changing to a different blocking scheme so athletic tackles like Aboushi and Winters might improve this year. We got a #1 receiver in Marshall and I think Mac might of indicated that he will draft a RB when he was interviewed. I also think that we will get an improved Geno Smith and have a good vet backup in Fitz. We are in good shape |

Tough to score on. It's also true that the offense is incomplete. Very incomplete. The major piece the Jets are missing on offence is the QB. If Mariota or Winston is there at #6, I think the Jets will think long and hard about taking QB and letting him battle out Smith and Fitzmagic in training camp. Even if the Jets take Hundley or Petty later in the draft, I think the same thing will happen. But with the addition of Marshall to pair with Decker (plus Kerley from the slot and an improving Amaro at tight end), the skill positions will suffice for now, save perhaps for a blocking TE and a third RB to spell and possibly take over from Ivory and Powell in the future. The offensive line could use some more improvement if the right player(s) are available in the draft, but with Gailey calling plays and better overall personnel on offence, we should see an improvement compared to last season - which then feeds into an improving defence because they're (hopefully) not having to cope with multiple three & outs and turnovers. |

If Jameis Winston is there at 6 you think we may look long and hard at drafting a QB?
Lol, we'll set a record running to put our pick in if Jameis is sitting there for us.

Been reported we're having a private workout with Winston with Maccagnan, Bowles and David Lee. This is from Mehta, though. |
