Todd Bowles all business as he prepares for pivotal year

A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Not ready for fun: The record isn't good, and Todd Bowles knows it. He's 20-28 in three seasons, with no playoff appearances. He's not hiding from it; he's attacking it.

"We get judged on wins and losses and, right now, I'm not a very good coach," he said at the conclusion of minicamp. "Hopefully, we can win a lot of games and I can become a very good coach."

Unlike some coaches, who lightened the mood in June with team trips, celebrity guest speakers and quirky activities (see: Bill Belichick, the no-fun coach), Bowles sent a message by sticking to football, just football, according to several players.
