Todd Bowles sends Jets message with ‘average’ practice rip

Jets coach Todd Bowles did not like what he saw Monday in practice, stopping it midway through to have the team run sprints.

“You can’t practice average if you want to be great. You can have very few of those days. Today was the first time,” Bowles said. “I don’t think it was a big deal, but at the same time they’ve got to understand where they are, and today we didn’t have a good day.”

The players seemed to be slogging their way through practice. Maybe it was the day off Sunday or just entering the second week of training camp, but Bowles noticed.
