Todd Bowles: Low-key guy, but with a temper

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Todd Bowles is letting the world in on a little secret. He's got a temper. And a foul mouth, too.

"I cuss quite a bit,'' the Jets coach told Newsday, just before he headed inside to watch film after Wednesday's practice.

"Trust me. It comes out,'' he added with a laugh. "Ask Cromartie, he'll tell you.''

Cornerback Antonio Cromartie is the only current Jet who has a history with Bowles. They were together last season when Bowles coordinated the Cardinals' defense. They're together again -- with Bowles as the first-time head coach of a franchise that hasn't reached the playoffs since 2010.
