One day after Brandon Marshall brought up race as a possible factor in Deflategate, Todd Bowles said he wants his receiver to be “smarter” in how he addresses sensitive subjects.
Marshall said on “Inside the NFL” on Tuesday night that, in talking to players around the league about Tom Brady’s suspension and the fact that it was its overturned, some felt that the “race card” played a role in the decision and in the NFL’s discipline as a whole. Bowles didn’t disagree with Marshall’s overall point, however.
“I think his opinion is well-warranted in what he said,” the new Jets coach said Wednesday.
