What’s Wrong with Todd Bowles’ defense?
When we heard the news that Bowles was headed to New York to coach the Jets it seemed a given that this team’s defense was going to dominate. Fast forward to now and we’re scratching our heads wondering what in the world has happened.
It’s only been two games, but so far the Jets defense looks pathetic. It has allowed 687 total yards, 45 first downs and 42 points in these contests, and the starting unit has been abused.
Known for his aggressive tendencies, Bowles hasn’t changed, despite the recent frustrations: “We want to be an offensive defensive team,” he said on Sunday (h/t New York Daily News).
Unfortunately, at this time the defense is just downright offensive.
