Todd Bowles rebuilds Jets’ staff with emphasis on hiring teachers by Rich Cimini (ESPN)

Stump Mitchell, 57, was a terrific hire. He played the position and has coached it for 15 years, including the last four with the Cardinals. He and Bowles spent two seasons together in Arizona, so it should be a seamless transition.

Jets’ Brandon Marshall said what? Could be a method to his madness by Rich Cimini (ESPN)

But then over their next five games, the Jets defense allowed a single completion of 53 yards, no TDs and 1 INT on attempts of 40 or more yards.
