Bowles on Marshall talking race and Deflategate: ‘Be smarter’

Jets coach Todd Bowles wants wide receiver Brandon Marshall to be “smarter” during his TV appearances with how he expresses himself.

Marshall made headlines Tuesday with remarks on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” about players around the league believing race played a role in Tom Brady’s suspension being overturned. Bowles said Marshall sought him out Wednesday to discuss what he said.

“I think his opinion is well-warranted in what he said,” Bowles said. “I’m sure you have cases. Back when I played I’ve seen some things just like he’s seen some things. I’m not on that platform.
