Why Jets' Todd Bowles won't say he's better prepared to handle defensive play calling vs. Colts

Jets coach Todd Bowles still says it's too early to tell if defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers will coach against the Colts.

But odds are, with Rodgers still awaiting test results on the illness that kept him out of last week's game, the Jets will be without their defensive coordinator on Sunday.

Obviously, that's far from ideal. Bowles would much prefer to have Rodgers - who he's worked with on and off since 2005 - with the team than watching from home.

"He's very intelligent, very bright, we've been together a long time," Bowles said.
