Season with Eagles helped shape Jets’ Bowles as coach

So [Fitzpatrick] had a great command of that offense when he was running it up in Buffalo, and I think it’s probably been the easiest transition for him in terms of anybody else, because of his familiarity with Chan, and what he wants to do and how he’s going to call things.

If the team were to wet itself against the Jets again this weekend, they’d be 0-3 and even playing in a weak division wouldn’t offer much comfort when it comes to their chances of recovering from that start to make the playoffs.

The surprising Jets are off to a 2-0 start and are coming off an impressive win in Indianapolis. “I’m excited about it”.

That still may not be comforting for a team staring down a deadly 0-3 start, though.

New York has 10 takeaways to lead the National Football League, and is just three off last season’s total over 16 games. We haven’t had the opportunity to throw the ball over the top because we haven’t established a run game and blocked well against a 4-2 box.

Patrick Kane case takes freakish turn: Chaos enveloped the investigation into Patrick Kane on Wednesday, after the attorney for the woman who accused the Blackhawks star of sexual assault said a police evidence bag that once contained the accuser’s rape kit was left anonymously on her mother’s doorstep.

“The coaches have been preaching (turnovers) ever since Day 1 and we were able to get some for the second week in a row”, nose tackle Damon Harrison said. We did a great job. Wake managed just 17 points against both Syracuse and Army over the last two weeks; not a team capable of outscoring anybody with backup QB Kendall Hinton (a better rusher than passer) behind center. If Murray is out, Mathews would likely handle the early-down work against Jets. The NFC East side have a 0-2 record in their opening games.

Murray has a jaw-dropping 11 yards on 21 carries through Philly’s first two games. Guards Allen Barbre and Andrew Gardner have especially struggled in replacing Evan Mathis and Todd Herremans, who were released in the offseason. “I mean you always have to have depth at running back”. “We have got to get this fixed up front”. To get more space, they need a better run game. Murray underwent a MRI after making his exit but nothing serious was discovered while the injury has been reported as a “tweak”. The team did not give details of the injury or a timetable for return.

“Yeah”, Chip Kelly said Thursday, before practice at the NovaCare Complex. Bradford went 23-of 37 for 224 yards and one touchdown, not exactly the performance expected of him. Byron Jones blanketed Eagles tight end, Zach Ertz and made an outstanding play on the ball that ended up tipped into J.J. Wilcox’s hands for the game-clinching interception. Defensively, the New York Jets yield 217 yards in passing and 104 yards in rushing. He’s 66 receiving yards shy of becoming the 45th player with 10,000. Kelly will only say that he has a sprain. Doesn’t look like his players are going to pan out. Time will tell. “If I heard it, I’m going to say it, but it’s over and done with”.

Philadelphia could be without three defensive starters.
