The NY Jets are going to field a young team this year. The hope is that they will field a young and exciting team, but that part will have to play out. With so many unknowns on offense, the best bet for a quick turn-around involves the defense. Indications are that Todd Bowles is trying to run a physical camp.<\/p>\n
Check out this media Q&A with Bowles about full contact at camp this year. The new CBA limits the amount of contact you can have, but Bowles seems to feel he has to increase the intensity level if this team is going to be more physical.<\/p>\n
On how many full contact practices he would like to do this year in training camp\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s not every day. We\u2019re in pads so we\u2019re hitting and we\u2019ll pick and choose our spots of when we say it\u2019s live and when it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n On if he can have more full contact practices with such a young team\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n We were going to do that more regardless. We were going to do that more regardless. We just need to hit.<\/p>\n On if two of the team periods were full contact today and his rationale for incorporating them\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, there was one so that we can get used to the pads. The other one got a little physical from a ball-carrier standpoint. He got off-balance. We have to keep him upright, but it\u2019s football. You have to get used to the pads, you don\u2019t get a lot of time, so we hit a little bit.<\/p>\n On if he told the team there would more hitting today to ramp things up at practice\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n They knew they were going to be live a certain period, not all practice, but (they) knew (they) were going to be live a certain period. We need to hit a little more and get used to some things and get used to the pads a little bit. We don\u2019t need to wait until preseason.<\/p>\n On if he is impressed with Marcus Maye\u2019s physicality during practice today on the two plays where he had hits\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve only seen in one play, I\u2019ll check the film. I know he\u2019s physical from college, but I have to see the film. I didn\u2019t see everything today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The NY Jets are going to field a young team this year.
