RICHMOND, Va. — The first day of joint practices between the Jets and the Redskins turned into a Battle Royale with several fights breaking out between the Jets defense and Washington offense.
There were three fights, one that was an all-out melee and spilled close to the fans. It left Jets coach Todd Bowles unhappy.
“If they wanted to be boxers and wrestlers, they’d probably be in another sport,” Bowles said. “We’re trying to get better. They’re trying to get better. Some things happened — overzealousness. I’ll talk to my guys. [Washington] Coach [Jay] Gruden will talk to his guys and we’ll have better practices [Monday] because that’s just a waste of time to me.
