FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Willie Colon still has love and "the utmost respect'' for Rex Ryan.
But the Jets offensive lineman would be lying if he didn't admit there were things that happened under Ryan's watch as Jets coach that still irk him. Lateness and a lack of focus helped to derail the team in 2014, and at season's end, Ryan was sent packing along with general manager John Idzik.
Colon is confident those issues won't plague the club under new coach Todd Bowles.
"When you go 4-12 and you fight your tail off and you know that you're doing your best and it comes off as guys, maybe, don't seem as passionate as you do about the game, sometimes it does bother you,'' Colon said after Wednesday's session of organized team activities.
