Jets might be stronger and faster — but definitely not greener by Rich Cimini (ESPN)

"The 2015 Jets are built to win now, and the players expect to win now. Anything less than a playoff berth will be disappointing.

For Jets’ Todd Bowles, a Lifetime of Calmly Facing Challenges by Ben Shpigel (New York Times)

"Bowles abides by the adage, “He who hesitates will be left,” spoken by Flip Wilson’s character in the 1974 comedy “Uptown Saturday Night.” The portrait of him that emerges from interviews with nearly 30 people who know him well is of a man who has been preparing most of his life for this moment: his first game as a noninterim N.F.L. head coach, Sunday against the Cleveland Browns."

Mauldin’s Rush Could Begin Sunday by Eric Allen (NewYorkJets.com)

"Mauldin, who displayed an explosive burst throughout camp on the practice field, was limited to two games this summer. He injured his knee during the team’s Family Night practice at Hofstra and did not see action the final two preseason contests. Mauldin practiced throughout the week and was listed as probable on Friday’s injury report."
