FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- New York Jets coach Todd Bowles is not looking for his players to be ''robots,'' but urges them to be smart when using social media.
Bowles says Thursday that he won't police what Jets players say on forums such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. But he also made it clear that they need to realize when they could potentially hurt the team with their comments.
Bowles, in his first season as Jets coach, is quite a bit more reserved than predecessor Rex Ryan. He says he'd prefer to not have a team that ''gossips'' when it ''hasn't done anything yet.
