When teams change coaches, they often hope for a culture change. That's exactly what has happened with the New York Jets, who replaced Rex Ryan with Todd Bowles.
Ryan returns this week as coach of the Buffalo Bills (4-4), a good time to examine how the Jets (5-3) have changed under Bowles:
1. Talk is cheap: The Jets have taken on Bowles' personality, which means they're way down on the trash-talking meter. Unlike Ryan, Bowles isn't a fiery, rah-rah coach. He prefers a calm, businesslike approach for every game, instilling the belief that no game is more or less important than any other.
